Emerald Cave Premium Kayak Tour With Lunch & Las Vegas Shuttle

Calvin truly made this such a special experience for us! My sister and I are fairly new to kayaking but with his guidance and reassurance this tour was something we will never forget! The views, the lunch included as well as the shuttle service was all worth the money!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Tranquil and peaceful. Sundays and Mondays are the best because no motorboats can go where the kyaks go. Have fun!

It’s brilliant and well worth doing. Even if you have not kayaked before. Go and do it. The Evolution experience team are amazing

This is a great tour to get away from the strip and out into nature. Easy fast pickup. The kayaks are comfortable and easy to maneuver, and the travel time is not too far. Our guide Faith was awesome too! Highly recommend.

Tethya was attentive, knowledgeable, encouraging, and clearly enjoys her work. She checked in constantly with her customers as well as other struggling kayakers and SUP boarders along the way. Safety was paramount throughout the trip. She packed a lot of water and snacks for everyone. She even towed our daughter back for the last 1/4 of the trip without complaint. Always courteous and positive.

Faith was my guide. She was amazing guide she gave a lot of history as we were driving from Vegas to the launch area when we were at the launch area. She was very informative on instructions on kayaking so if you had very little or more experienced, she explained it to you as we were floating down to the Emerald Cave. She spotted a rattlesnake bighorn sheep, oh, and all it was a very enjoyable trip. I’ll definitely be doing it again.

This was such an amazing experience! Our guide, Faith, was unbelievably kind, knowledgeable, and fun- we had some newbies to kayaking and she broke down directions easily for them. She pointed out various wildlife and took pics which were shared with our group, told stories, and swam like a mermaid. We adore her. More broadly: highly recommend going for the lunch tour, and bringing a cooling towel. Faith had plenty of water so no need to bring your own bottle. Bottom line: it was beautiful and we had a blast! 100% recommend.

We had an amazing time. Our tour guide Jadyn was awesome and attentive at all times. I highly recommend this if you're in Las Vegas and want to do something more outdoors. 5/5!

This was such a delightful experience! Our group had a lot of fun and our guide Ryan was awesome. It was an easy paced paddle with stunning views being within the canyon. We saw big horned sheep, little lizards and lots of birds. We learned a lot along the way and lunch was so surprisingly good after all of the paddling. This was a honeymoon gift from a friend and it was so so special.

Our guide, Jayden, was knowledgeable and friendly. She kept us safe and made sure that we had a great time! The Colorado River is cold year round so it's a great activity to cool off in the summer in Vegas

Phenomenal time! Faith was an excellent guide (and driver, and general entertainment!), and despite it being hot in the city, the water cooled everything off! Would definitely go again. The lunch came in clutch (would definitely recommend, absolutely worth the money) and the pickup/drop-off was very smooth. Faith made things a real slam dunk. She held us spot dozens of big horn sheep!!

This was a wonderful trip. Faith was a very knowledgeable & experienced guide and had a lot of local knowledge.

Great experience . Beautiful water and cave . Guide Fath was fantastic! Lunch was yummy too! Highly recommend

Faith was amazing and very experienced on the river

Guide fath was excellent! We had a wonderful day on the water , excursion was perfect amount of time on water w great break spots. Lunch was really tasty too!

This was such a fun day trip to be in some beautiful nature. We added on the Hoover Dam stop too, which was really cool. The owner was our first guide and so great. The Colorado River is pretty chilly but in the hot June sun, it was refreshing. Tandem kayaks are a fun adventure for two. We had Tehya and Octavio as river guides. Both fantastic. I’d highly recommend this outfitter if you’re up for some light exercise on the beautiful blue green river.

Great guide, great lunch and a great way to cool off. Octavia was full of history and information on the local flora/fauna. It was hot out but the water was refreshing. The catered lunch was actually fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. The cave itself was really cool but we were shown a lot of other cool things along the way. Tip: Apple Maps has you go about 0.8 miles past the meeting point (when using address from confirmation email). So when you see the spot before you’ve “arrived” and think this looks like it should be it, it is.

Our guide Octavio was great. Energetic and knowledgeable. The cave itself was unimpressive but the kayaking was beautiful.

The whole trip was a great experience. Pick up and drop off was seamless from the Bellagio. Our guide Soren was outstanding. He made sure everyone is handling the kayak and having a good time. The Colorado river and its surroundings are absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this trip.

We did a kayaking tour with Ryan and he is simply the best! Insanely knowledgeable about the area and his instruction is top notch. Amazing experience from top to bottom and you won't find a better guide or operation than this one!

Wonderful day! Sean and Ryan were super friendly, pick up was easy to find. Faith, our guide, was really knowledgeable and kept the group together. Also got a few extra sites on our way back! I felt totally comfortable as a solo participant. Thanks everyone!

Good experience despite done high winds occasionally. Great lunch and lots of good info from faith tour guide

It exceeded our expectations. My family and I booked it and we are glad we did . Our tour guide Calvin was awesome. You can tell he really likes his job .

Stunning views, our guide was upbeat and very informative. Also made us all laugh. There was a variety of things we saw on land and on water.

Calvin our tour guide was fantastic i! He is energetic, easy to talk to, compassionate about his job l: we enjoyed a tasty lunch

A fantastic day in a beautiful area outside of Vegas. Stunning waters and beautiful scenery. Our guide was exceptional - knowledgeable, engaging and a wonderful human. A wonderful experience

Faith was amazing! Very knowledgeable. SUPER kind. We loved that they called us to confirm pick up and even called us when we had a hard time finding the pick up location. Everyone is so kind. Excellent customer service and A fantastic experience. Will book again

I had a wonderful time. The paddle was relatively easy and Calvin was a great guide. 100% would go again.

We went to Vegas for my hubbies 50th and this is the trip that stands out for us the most for the whole time we were there.Was so relaxing and we found out a lot of history about the area.Lunch was delicious.Jeff our guide was absolutely fantastic and Emma too .He was so knowledgeable and give great advice to us all in the group.I would highly recommend this guy if you choose to do this deluxe tour.From your 2 Irish friends.Phil and Linda 😊

We had the best experience on this expedition. The organisation was perfect, regular contact throughout, pickup on time, 2 great friendly and knowledgeable guides, Jeff and Emma made this our greatest experience. So friendly and patient, we had such a laugh, having never used a kayak before the instructions were clear, simple and the kayaks were brilliant, food was great, even went for a swim after lunch and as promised the river took our breathe away for the first few seconds but shortly after it was such a nice swim, we got back into the kayaks and wanted to swim again, would highly recommed this 🏊‍♂️. Followed by a casual row back we kind of started a massive water fight which im sorry but I definitely won 🤪 as we approached the shore where we started Jeff gave a great speech that really touches your heart and makes you understand that even with all the entainment available, a great trip through mother nature can bring you peace and sometimes thats all you need ❤️ Thank you evolution expeditions, this memory will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ From your Troublesome 2 from England UK Tom senior and Tom Junior 🤪🫶✌️

Don’t go on a windy day. Not the fault of the operator but the wind made the paddle and particularly the entrance to the cave a difficult and potentially dangerous situation. Many needed to be pulled I by guides. Many capsized. On A calm day this would be great. Our guide was great.

We had an excellent experience with Evolution Kayak Tours. Octavio was our guide and he was both very knowledgeable and entertaining, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The scenery was incredible and a refreshing change from the lights and sounds of Las Vegas. It was a unique sightseeing experience and well worth it. Lunch and snacks were provided from Jason’s Deli, which was a nice touch. As someone who is gluten sensitive, I really appreciated that the chicken salad was served separately from the roll without me even having to request it. Overall, everything was well organized and professionally run. We had a great time and will definitely be booking another trip with Evolution Adventure Tours in the future.

Had an amazing time out on the beautiful emerald water but wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for our very knowledgeable guide, Calvin! From beginning to end giving us a history lesson of the area and narrating the entire excursion. Can tell there’s passion behind what he does and loves the opportunity to be out there in meeting new people from all over. Super grateful we had him as our guide and all the stories that were shared. Such a fun adventure and couldn’t have asked for better weather!

Faith was a great guide! She had a lot of great stories about the history of the areas we visited and the native flora and fauna of the area. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a great time kayaking with her!

Great Time. Guides were really fun. Beautiful scenery. We had Ryan and Octavio.

We had an amazing time! Would 100% recommend Evolution Expeditions! Great time and awesome views. Calvin was awesome so fun and knowledgeable!

Beautiful day out on the water. Great commentary from Ryan detailing the history of the area and some of the wildlife we might encounter. Paddling was at a very relaxed pace. Enjoyed my cold swim from the little beach we stopped at and didn’t take long to dry off in the warm sun afterwards.

Our experience was fantastic!! Our tour guid was amazing, funny and engaging! The whole experience was great and we wish we had done the longer experience. We will definitely use Evolution Expeditions again! 5 Stars!!

Great trip. Soren, Faith, and the whole team were great. We really enjoyed the mix of history and natural information they shared about the canyon and surrounding area during the trip.

This was so much fun! Our guide was very informative and the whole experience was so worth it! Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience. They pick you up at the hotel, we stopped off at the Hoover Dam and got some great info from our tour guide Faith who was very knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as they city itself. When you get the to dock, they make sure everyone knows how to use the kayak and do a little bit of practicing before you actually set out. Then we did a 2 mile down and back paddle to the emerald cave. She let us stop off at a small beach, took us over to a cave where your voice echo, pointed out a bald eagle nest and had a cool little spot for a picnic. Our tour guide told stories and showed remnants of the home of the explorer that researched the area to decide if it was a good spot to build the Hoover Dam. She even took you on a super easy, short walk up a hill to see the views from the top. I would do the full day tour with this company again! It was the highlight of our trip for sure!

I love Maddy and the tour so much. The service is top notch and the cave is so beautiful. Will come back soon. Highly recommend !

Amazing experience with beautiful water and amazing tour guide if you choose Faith. We were picked up on time went and visited the dam, arrived for our kayak tour at the perfect time of day. Picnic service for lunch and site seeing, followed up with shuttle service back to your hotel.

My sister and I took the Emerald Cove tour with Jeff. He’s very informative and funny! We had around 10 people in our kayak group which is a nice size to keep it still a personal tour. Thank you!

A lovely experience, Faith our guide, was really nice. The actual Emerald Cave was not as great as we were expecting, the photos taken were quite far away. Also had to hang around for quite some time before the journey back to the strip. More passengers cadged a lift on the way back so the transport was cramped and uncomfortable. Still thought it was good value for money.

Jaden was a great guide. Evolution Expedition communicated well with us and did a great job. We kayaked 2 miles to Emerald Cave and 2 miles back. Lunch on the way back with a short hike. Cool history, wildlife and beauty all around.

Our guide Faith is absolutely brilliant!!! She told us all about the history as we passed significant landmarky. She was an excellent instructor to us newbies in kayaking and has the best upbeat attitude that kept us motivated to enjoy and look at our beautiful surroundings. We had perfect weather today and our private time in the cave was memorable along with us yelling “hey!” into the small cove across from it to hear our echos. A bit of a workout going back but the whole excursion was worth it!

Wow ..What a fabulous experience . Ray,our guide was very knowledgable and fun .He ensured our safety throughout and went out of his way to make sure we had a positive experience . The tour had two stops at little stoney beaches where we had a break a snacks /lunch . Plenty water , snacks and nice packed lunch were all provided. We had a cool Down /swim in the water but that was our choice no pressure to do that as the water is very cold and not for everyone . We loved it though. My only slight issue was that we had to travel to a pick up point for the shuttle and it would have been easier to be picked up at our hotel . We were very tired on our return and then had to think about a deuce or taxi/uber back to the hotel. All in all an amazing experience

Great tour. Everything was well done from booking, communication, and notifications. Evening before the tour texted where to go and meet up location with map. (We chose to drive to launching location) . Paddle itself was great. Faith did a super job. Was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the area and kayaking. Boxed lunch was very good too, not a boring, dried out piece of bread stuffed into a box. Head wind paddling back completed the adventure. All pictures that Faith took during the paddle were posted to us on Dropbox before the day was over and for free!! Even gave us a recommendation of where to stop to look for big horn sheep on our way back to Vegas. Highly recommend this company and Faith. She said next time we should ask for her!! Don’t forget to ask how her music career is going!!
