Bali was an amazing guide and kayak mentor! We throughly enjoyed our trip and didn’t realize how time went by. The cave was beautiful and the green crystal clear water was a sight to behold! Definitely highly recommend! Bali was humorous as well which was added plus. He was pretty knowledgeable and kept us entertained.

Absolutely amazing day!
Skylar_S, May 2023
From start to finish SUP kayak club on time and polite as can be very knowledgeable. We had the pleasure of Jake as our guide and he was rock solid dude to chat with and very informative and approachable. He really loves the job he's doing, and is interested in what you're saying to him and has genuine conversation outside of just the tour guiding. I spotted a desert fox and pointed it out to Jake and he took interest in that and said it's really rare to see at the time of day (11am/12pm). So he took a closer look and informed everyone. But making sure everyone was included is what he did best and very encouraging and supportive. A genuine dude and I wish him all the success in the future endeavors.
Amazingly beautiful kayak trip!

Michelle_M, May 2023
Had avgreat time! Johnny was a great tour guide. He interacted well with the whole group and even took pictures for us!
Easy and fun
Pam_R, May 2023
We had a wonderful experience. It was easy and they had good communication. I was disappointed our tour guide suggested not waiting in line to see the cave, since that was the point of the trip. The group decided not to wait, which would have been up to an hour. Other than that it was fun and beautiful
Beautiful spot
Sara_C, May 2023
Beautiful spot to go kayaking! Jake was a great tour guide and the weather was perfect. It wasn’t too hot on the water, even though it was a hot day
Didn’t get to experience the cave.
Michaela_B, May 2023
Kayaking was fun but our guide didn’t take us to the cave and we didn’t go in it because he felt the line was to long. Was a waste and didn’t get what we paid to do
You guys Nailed It!🤙🛶
James_B, May 2023
Russ made our Kayak experience one of the best kayak runs we ever had. His knowledge of the wildlife and plant life in the Area gave me the connection to this land I was seeking. Being an East Coast guy I’m so happy we captured that. We even saw a bald Eagle and a bighorn sheep. As well as an Apache attack chopper. I even have a creosote branch in my hotel shower. Desert Rain ☔️ Thanks guys , next time we in the are we are choosing you. 🇺🇸🛶🦅🐏
