    The trip was great I love that it was something different than wondering the strip. Loved getting out on the water. The cave was slightly underwhelming but enjoyed the scenery and the experience. Be aware the fee does not include the national park fee. We were told it was $20/person and had to pay the guide upfront I really did not like the feeling of this, no idea if this was the actual cost or if we got scammed. The listing also said it was an 8 hours day however we were back within 6. Oh also don’t for get to bring a tip.

    We had a great time. Sam especially was a wonderful guide. The water was perfect and breathtaking views. Sam pointed out interesting points along the way. Most importantly,Sam checked on everyone to make sure they were safe a comfortable. The wind picked up making it workout to get back- he was great and reassuring to newer kayakers. Everyone was tired and talking about how fun it was on the ride back to the strip. The cove itself was no big deal. Still worth getting out on the water and enjoy. It would of been nice to have time to swim and play in the water while we were there. The wind made it necessary to turn back at the end becausr had head wind. Highly recommend- but don’t go just for the cave . It’s underwhelming.

    What a fun outing! Our guide, Jordan, was terrific! Very personable and offered the perfect amount of guidance and autonomy. He was there for us whenever needed, even to save a pair of sun glasses that one of us dropped into the water! The trip itself was lovely and it was great to get out on to the shore and explore a bit and take a dip in the water. The clear bottom kayaks were a challenge to navigate (weren't very aerodynamic) but I understand they are getting new kayaks soon - I got to use a sample new one and it's excellent. The area was pretty crowded while waiting to get into the cave, but there was a system in place between the guides for waiting turns, and it was still fun floating around while we waited. It was a great way to spend a day while visiting Vegas to give a break from, well, Vegas! Highly recommend!
