Had a great day on the water with our guides Jeff. The weather was perfect and the surrounding was beautiful. Jeff was really good at telling us about the area and some cool stories too!

Experience was amazing from the word “Go”. From the pick up our guide Seth was so nice, fun and informative. Seth took great care to explain everything and made sure we had a lot of fun throughout. To the very end when Seth dropped us off at our pick up spot at the end of day, my wife and I loved the experience. Will definitely recommend to any first timers or experienced Kayakers!

We had a great time out on the lake with our guide, Jamaica. We were able to paddle into the Emerald cave with only about a 10 minute wait. My daughter and husband were able to use a tandem kayak. The kayaks have rudders which help with steering.

We had a great time on this leisurely paddle. Our guide (Seth) picked us up on time from our hotel. We appreciate the downtown area pick up, as we did not have a vehicle and many tour operators only pick up from the strip. Seth is knowledgeable and professional, he answered all our questions and provided info on where we were going and what we were seeing. After a quick stop to sign the waiver and the last chance for the “nice” restrooms, we continued on to the launch site, Willow Beach, where the rest of the people on our tour were meeting us. There were a few other tour operators at the launch site, too, as this is a very popular activity. The kayaks were already set out and ready to go. Seth provided a thorough safety & instructional briefing and we were off. We all took single kayaks, but the people in the tandems did fine, too. The water was flat and super easy to paddle. We thought it might be a bit chilly on the water (air temps were 65-70 ish Fahrenheit) but the day was perfect. Be sure to wear a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses no matter the air temp. There was no wind, so paddling was easy and smooth. Seth pointed out interesting features and told us about some of the history of the area. After paddling a bit, we stopped at a little beach, grabbed a quick snack and took a walk to the top of a hill where a structure once stood. Seth told us about the plants on the walk and about some animals we might see. We saw skinks, turtles, lizards, and birds, but no sheep (or goats lol) Then we continued on to Emerald Cove/Cave, which is a small cave where we backed in and Seth explains to us what happens there and how the place got the name. Then we paddled back to the launch site. While Seth and the crew packed up the gear, we walked over to the little camp store for a drink and souvenirs. Highly recommend this tour, 10/5 stars ;)
