Touring with Holmes was an absolute delight! His deep knowledge of the desert landscape, coupled with his passion for adventure, made for an unforgettable experience. From navigating the Colorado River to uncovering hidden gems, Holmes ensured every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. His attention to detail and commitment to safety truly set him apart. Highly recommend embarking on a desert adventure with Holmes at the helm!

Adam was a great River Guide! He was knowledgeable about the area and its history, he was great for the folx who needed kayaking instructions, and he was super friendly. We had a fabulous time, and it was a lovely day. The only suggestion we would make, is that at the end of the day, Desert Adventures should consider having a second employee drive the shuttle back. That's exhausting for a guide to do pick-up, kayak for several hours, then drive over 2.5 hours round-trip to return following to hotels.

I loved the trip! Our guides (Josh & I don’t remember the other name) were so friendly and motivated even though our tour started at 6am 😂😂 but it was absolutely worth it. Early in the morning there was just our group and we were able to enjoy the river and the nature around it to its fullest. :D Our guides had bottles of water for everybody and made sure that we had a good time. I would definitely recommend it!

Excellent day kayaking down the Black Canyon by the Hoover Dam. Excellent pick up and drop off. Antonio our guide was brilliant with masses of local knowledge from local history to geological insights. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone. The 6 hours kayaking takes in about 12 miles.

Picke up was a little early at 530 am for an 8am launch which was hard on vacation but once we got to store and met our guide it was worth it! Luke (Skywalker) was the best guide ever! We got to hike a little longer ways up boy scout canyon do a little climbing up the rope to get up the hot springs. saw an endangered frog and tadpoles. Peregrine falcon chance encounter while it was drinking on the river. Gorgeous view with lunch at Arizona hot springs Park. The lunch was also delicious from a local restaurant/deli that really hit the spot after all the calorie burn with the kayaking. Shout out for Flip as well for driving us back and taking time for us to see the wild sheep at the park in Boulder City! Great value and great experience!
