My girlfriend and I had a such a beautiful & relaxing adventure kayaking the Colorado River. I loved doing the private tour and getting to go at our own pace. I found it to be very safe and easy to find location. Our experience was seamless from beginning to end. I will definitely be rebooking for another tour in the future. Less

My wife, teenage son, and I decided to get off the Strip for a day and enjoy some of Nevada’s beautiful nature. From a distance, we had been admiring the mountains all week and were excited to get in our rental car and go for a ~45 minute drive to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area to the kayak launch point at Willow Beach on the Colorado River.At the site, we were warmly greeted by our guide, Eddie. He fitted us for life vests, offered waters for the trip, and gave us quick paddle instructions before heading out. The trip was 4 miles round trip, the 2 miles out went quickly but the wind made the return more challenging (Eddie offered to tow anyone that needed assistance but we endured, lol). As we paddled, we saw big horned sheep climbing the cliffs, bald eagles soaring above, and ducks paddling alongside us. We stopped about a mile into our journey, beached and exited the kayaks. Eddie offered us light snacks (granola bars, chips, fruit) and drinks (water & Gatorade). We declined to swim in the shallows of the calm river so Eddie led us onto land for a short 10-minute hike). He educated us about some of the plants and rocks during our hike to the ruins of house that was home to an old river monitor (gauger) who would assess the Hoover Dam’s effect on the river sediment and condition. Eddie told us of how the man would use a cable car to pull himself across the river to the work station each day to perform his work. After the hike, we returned to our kayaks and continued up the river to a cave to fully appreciate the water’s green emerald color as the sunlight hits its surface. We paddled a short while longer to view the river monitor's work station then headed back.After returning to the launch site, we exited our kayaks and were offered snacks and drinks again by Eddie. He had been taking photos and videos of us throughout the journey and sent them to my wife’s phone before thanking us and wishing us safe travels. The trip was excellent, as was our guide, Eddie, friendly and knowledgeable. This was an excellent afternoon excursion and I would highly recommend it.Other notes, the launch site is near a marina with facilities so there is a bathroom for changing if needed. Water shoes are a good idea to make entering and exiting the kayak easier and protect your feet through the trip. We would also recommend sunscreen and lip balm with SPF for sun and wind protection.

100% recommend this tour! Eddie was a great tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. He took pictures of our group along the trip which was very appreciated!! Beautiful scenery and very relaxing. Would do again with Eddie. Less

BOOK THIS TOUR! Our guide, Eddie, was knowledgeable, pleasant, helpful and kind. He helped us see 3 bald eagles on our trip, and he never made us feel rushed. He was professional and communicated with us about the time change we would face when we crossed the state line. (Note: the tour is run on Nevada time.) This company offers comfortable kayaks for bigger people (my huband is 6ft 4, 280lbs). The small group size allowed us to hear our guide well. Bonus: our guide took great pictures of us on the tour and sent them to us FOR FREE. So pleased with this experience!! Thanks again, Eddie. Less

I recently went on a kayaking adventure, and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing clear instructions for both beginners and more experienced kayakers. The equipment was top-notch — the kayak was comfortable, stable, and in great condition.The scenery was breathtaking. We paddled through calm waters surrounded by lush greenery, and I was even able to spot some wildlife along the way, including birds and fish. The peacefulness of being out on the water was truly rejuvenating, and it felt like the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.The whole trip was well-organized, and safety was a priority, with all the necessary gear provided. Whether you’re a seasoned kayaker or a first-timer, I highly recommend this experience. I can’t wait to go again! Less

Relaxing, fun, adventurous, and peaceful. Eddie was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of the water, and surrounding areas. A great teacher to help with navigating the kayak in the water as I was a first timer. Definitely would do this again with family. Less

Fabulous, Absolutely Fabulous. From the very start, all the way to the end was the best kayaking experience ever. As first time kayakers, we didn’t know what to expect but our tour guide Eddie made SURE we had the best experience ever. He was Knowledgeable, Professional and Diligent seeing to our every need. We will definitely come back and we truly recommend this experience to everyone. Thank You!! Less

This was an awesome experience. Eddie is a very knowledgeable tour guide and does a good job of sharing his knowledge of the area. He was very patient with our 9 year old and helped her complete the tour uneventfully in her own single kayak. Would highly recommend Less

Had such an incredible day with Eddy on the water, he was so prepared and knowledgeable. He made my family comfortable and took a ton of pictures for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better day! It really so much fun I can’t wait to do it again! Less

I totally recommend this company @lasvegasexclusivekayaktours. If you’re looking for a new adventure with your love ones or friends. Eddie is very professional, he gave us the tour to Emerald cove at Willow beach we made a couple of stops to appreciate the beautiful views and took pictures to all of us during the ride in the Kayaks. My kids said it was the BEST DAY of their life’s!! We had a blast! We will definitely do it again!😊 Less

Eddie was absolutely amazing. I am a year out of shoulder surgery and he took his time with my slow paddling, made sure my husband and I never felt rushed or "less than" the others in the group. The short hike we had near mid-way of the trip up the river was full of history and beautiful vistas. Eddie pointed out wildlife and made sure everyone in the group got to see the sheep and bald eagle. He took great photos of everyone and shared them afterwards. I highly recommend LVE Kayak Tours.
