Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join the kayak tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to handle a kayak. If they’re younger, they need to be in a tandem kayak with an adult. Just make sure they know how to listen to instructions! It’s a pretty family-friendly activity.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes! If the weather conditions are unsafe for kayaking, River Dogz will usually let you reschedule for another day at no extra charge. Just make sure to call ahead and keep an eye on the forecast the day before.

Q: How do the hotel pickups work? Are there specific hotels they pick up from?

A: The pickups are from select hotels on the Strip, like The Venetian and Bellagio. When you book, you'll choose your hotel and they'll provide a pickup time. Just be ready about 10-15 minutes early! They drive you to the launch site, which is super convenient.

Just did the Emerald Cave Kayak Tour and wow!

I surprised my partner with the Emerald Cave Kayak Tour, and it was epic! We got picked up from our hotel around 8 AM, and the ride was super chill. The scenery in Black Canyon was absolutely stunning. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Plus, the snacks were a nice touch! The cave itself is a must-see. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Vegas!

Thinking of gifting the kayak tour! Any advice?

I’m considering getting the half-day kayak tour for my friend's birthday. He loves nature but has never kayaked before. Is it hard? Also, are the views really as good as everyone says? I just want to make sure it’s a hit!
