Great way to beat the heat of Las Vegas, and spend time in nature

Ryan was a great tour guide, the river was refreshing on a hot day. 4 mile course 2 miles out then a 2 mile return, average athletic shape required.

Operator response

Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the river and appreciated Ryan’s guidance. And yes, it’s a solid little workout out there! You crushed it, and we hope to see you back for another adventure.

Big Horn Sheep??

After loading our kayaks on the Flying Kiwi truck, Adam, my guide for the day. and I were off to Lake Mead. On a very smoky day we kayaked around the islands in the middle of the Lake. The one Island we did not stop at was Rattle Snake Island. We kayaked around the three islands for a few hours. stopped for lunch and a swim On the way back to drop off the kayaks, we came across a gathering of ,s;r big horn sheep, which required we stop for photos.

My friend and I booked the Boulder...

<p>My friend and I booked the Boulder Islands Sunset Tour from Las Vegas early Sep. this year 2017 with Matt Brown at River Dogz. The weather was perfect for it and we highly recommend Matt for this trip. He was very personable and really catered to our interest and needs. Unfortunately, we found out that we lost our dog, Max, during our tour. We basically just went through the whole it w/ a heavy heart and it was nice of Matt to understand this and just gave us the comfort and silence at times when we needed it. He really did an awesome job making us feel that we were more than just his customers that day, but more like a friend that was trying to console us. Thanks for understanding, Matt! And even if it was a sad day, the places you showed us were so beautiful, just as we imagined.</p>
