Las Vegas Water Sports

Always book with Cool Las Vegas, and this experience was as always worthwhile. Evolution Expeditions was great. Easy to work with, our guide Brianna was wonderful. So much knowledge about the Dam, wildlife, River and best places to see!

Incredible experience, everything explained really well and the raft ride was INCREDIBLE!! Reccomend to everyone

The top to bottom tour of the Hoover Dam was an amazing experience. Went there with my mom, aunt, and sister. We had a private tour all for ourselves which made pacing better given we had older adults and us being out of shape. Travis, our guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us going with jokes along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in engineering marvels and who want a more private experience of the Hoover Dam.

We had a great experience. Everyone was very professional and welcoming. It was easy to contact the tour company for questions ahead of time. The driver, Joe, was able to provide us with the background on the areas we were driving through. Andrew was our Kayaking guide and he was really nice. It was a beautiful day and the views were incredible. The water was crystal clear. We liked that it was a small group of people. Since there weren’t enough people for our morning helicopter flight, the tour company upgraded us to a tour that included stopping to see the sunset & enjoying some champagne. We appreciated the effort they went through as we didn’t have flexibility to do the tour another day. Mike, our helicopter pilot, took good care of us and made the flight as smooth as possible. All in all, we had a good time! Thank you to Joe, Andrew and Mike!! Recommend doing the helicopter tour first though, if possible, as we felt quite tired after being outside in the sun kayaking for a few hours.

Soren was awesome! Weather was gorgeous. Windy was a challenge at times but it was a great day!

**An absolutely amazing 5-star experience from start to finish!**We booked this total package tour last minute, and the customer service was incredible right from the start. There was a schedule shuffle the day before, but the company handled everything flawlessly, keeping us updated with a few quick phone calls for verification. Our itinerary was switched so that we did the kayaking portion first and the helicopter flight second—and honestly, I am so glad it worked out that way! It ended up being the perfect flow for the day.Like most travelers, we booked this vacation to escape reality and work stress, and this company delivered exactly that. Our driver for most of the day, Joey, was absolutely fantastic. I was feeling pretty nervous at first, but Joey is so entertaining and fun to talk to that he didn't give me any time to stay nervous! He is a true born-and-raised local who genuinely loves his city and the company he works for. It is so refreshing to meet people who have that much joy for what they do, and he set an amazing tone for the day.The kayaking portion of our package was run by their partner company, Blazin' Paddles, where we had Chelsea as our guide. Because of our schedule swap, my husband and I couldn't leave our lunches or bags in the van like the rest of the group, which triggered a major moment of internal anxiety for me on the riverbanks. Chelsea didn’t know the depth of what I was dealing with internally, but she picked up on my frustration immediately and jumped right in to help. She gave me massive reassurance, took our lunches to carry herself, and put my nerves at ease instantly. She is a walking textbook of history, has a contagious energy, and acted as our personal cheerleader—even motivating me through a brutal headwind on the paddle back. She made us feel completely included and went totally above and beyond.To cap off an already perfect day, the helicopter portion was breathtaking. Our pilot, Andrew, was incredibly nice, professional, and knowledgeable. Seeing the Grand Canyon from above is truly the ultimate experience and something I will never forget.This entire package was worth every single penny. If you are looking for an escape with a company that employs passionate, attentive, and joyful people, book this tour immediately!

Be sure to take everything you'll need whether kayaking or rafting (sunscreen, sunshirts, hat, towels if wanted, water bottles). Rafting got us up close and personal to Dam.

We had an amazing experience with Jadyn! She was so personable, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all of the stops along the way, and lunch was great too!The shuttle service was seamless and made the whole experience so easy and stress free from start to finish. I would highly recommend this experience if you’re looking for an active, fun day away from the Strip.

This was a relaxing beautiful day! Our guide Faith was fun, friendly, and knowledgeable about the history of the river, canyon, cave and all the fantastic wildlife and vegetation! The experience is amazing and a must-do on your vacation! Thank you Evolution Expeditions!!!!

The Hoover Dam kayak trip was truly an experience of a lifetime! If you're planning this adventure, I highly recommend requesting Sean as your guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had an amazing experience.Sean came well prepared with plenty of delicious food, snacks, and cold water to keep us fueled throughout the 12 mile journey. Even though the temperatures were extremely hot, the cool, refreshing water made the kayaking much more enjoyable.One of the highlights of the trip was Sean's knowledge of the Hoover Dam and the surrounding area. He shared fascinating stories and pointed out interesting landmarks along the way. He also knew all the best places to stop, including beautiful hot springs, scenic lunch spots, and perfect places to take a break and cool off.If you're booking this trip, definitely ask for Sean—you won't regret it! I also recommend bringing a Camel back or another hydration pack with plenty of water, along with a wide-brimmed hat or other sun protection. It's hot on the river with zero shade..This was an unforgettable adventure, and I would absolutely do it again!

We had such a fun day visiting the Emerald Cave. Don, our guide, made the trip so fun and informative. He took lots of pix for us all. We got the chance to swim in the river (cold but oh so good), and just generally enjoy the scenery.

Best day ever! Dylan was an amazing guide! We could tell he was extremely passionate about showing us all the incredible unique and beautiful spots. We can’t wait to go again and will definitely recommend to friends and family! Thanks for an extremely memorable day!

We did the overnight trip from the damn to willow beach, and We had an amazing time. It was easy to book the trip with Desert Adventures, the lady I talked to explained everything. The day of the trip arrived, the man that picked us up and took us to the launch was great. He made sure we had everything we would need, gave us a map so that we wouldn't miss any of the awesome hot springs, beaches, or hikes. Desert Adventure was on time, helpful, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the canyon history.

I used Desert Adventures for the Unguided full day, Hoover Dam to Willow Beach Adventure. The cost included an early morning pick up at the Hoover Dam Lodge, kayak, PFD and pickup/shuttle back from Willow Beach back to my hotel at the end of the paddle. Desert Adventures provided Great Service. Very cheerful drivers/assistants especially, Austin who provided interesting bits of local knowledge. Be prepared. Check the weather. Strong Headwinds can present challenging conditions if you are not in great shape and a seasoned paddler.

Very well organised with good gear and capable guides. Teenagers lived it too !

Neil and Jonathan were amazing guides for our day long paddle. Very knowledgeable and experienced! We definitely recommend this trip!
