Amazing experience

We had a great.time on this kayaking tour. Our guide, Katie, was amazing. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made a bunch of kayaking rookies feel like pros by the time the excursion was done. Our group was hesitant at doing 4 miles as we'd never done kayaking before, however Katie went at a pace that allowed everyone to keep up and feel included. Her instructions for maneuvering the kayaks were spot on. No one struggled at all the entire ride. This was a 10/10 experience.

So much fun!!

We had such an amazing time with Las Vegas Paddleboard! The whole experience was so much fun, and Kati was an awesome guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip even better. We paddled about 2 miles out and 2 miles back. We stopped along the way to see a cave with emerald waters. We also took a break at the beach where we got to jump in the water. It was cold, but refreshing! Kati made sure we all had a great time and felt comfortable throughout the adventure. I would definitely recommend this experience and hope to come back again soon!

Couldn't have been nicer

Wonderful. The only thing that could have been better is a sign or flag or something so you know where to go. The verbal instructions were good by warning you that it's not in the marina, But a description of where to look or a flag or something would have been helpful

Great beautiful adventure!

Kati is amazing and very knowledgeable. Amazing for beginners, the kayaks are easy to manage. Better to go in the morning, less of a line at the cave. Sunday and Monday, fewer boats. We will definitely be doing this again soon!
