We had such a great time on this tour. Mike was super informative and very helpful for us since we haven’t really kayaked before. The pickup and drop off was really easy. They text you updates and it makes it easier to chat with them. The fire with hotdogs and s’mores was awesome. Highly recommend taking this tour!!!

Thanks so much for the great review! Mike and all the staff here are excited to hear that you enjoyed the tour, hotdogs and the ease of taking this Twilight tour. We work hard so you do not have to! The twilight tour is very special and one of the favorites of many guests! We look forward to seeing you return!

Take your time and enjoy!

Jimena_V, Mar 2022

It is a great idea the whole experience: the kayak, sunset, a short hike and an stop with fire and food. But at the moment we were there some of the other participants were like in a hurry and didn’t stay long and enjoy the fire and food and night.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

We are so glad that you enjoyed your Twilight Tour! It is a magical experience and really fun to roast hot dogs and make s'mores on the beach during the sunset. We noticed that you only rated the tour with 4 stars? We strive to make every tour the best for all of our guests. Please let us know how we can do better to earn that 5 stars! Your input is valuable and we use it to make our tours the best they can be. Thanks,

A great time away from the strip!

Dan_D, Jan 2022

Such a great time! This is a late review but my wife and I went during Labor Day weekend. The guides were great and were well stocked with snacks and water. We even got to cook hot dogs and and make smores over a camp fire. When it got dark out, seeing the stars while cruising along the river was so cool! Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

The twilight tour is one of our favorites to conduct. There is something magical about gliding on the water at night under the stars! Thanks so much for your 5star review and the great recommendation!

Great experience!

Jami_K, Sept 2021

What a beautiful place to be a sunset. The view is amazing and it was so peaceful. Mike was a great guide. Full of information and just easy to talk too and make the adventure fun. Kelly in their office was amazing too. She called me to move our kayak trip and we was so personable and friendly. A great company to book with and kayak with. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Breath taking !

Taylor, July 2021

We had a great time on the twilight kayaking trip! The water was cold and clear, the scenery was beautiful, we saw cool wildlife (fox, birds, bats, and lizards), and the boats were nice to paddle. Our guides Chris and Shae were amazing. We are looking forward to going on a full day trip with this company in the future and will recommend it to our friends/family.
