My daughter recommended us taking this trip. Besides sharing time with her and everyone, it was the best experience in Vegas.
We rented 2 kayaks and 1 canoe and did a self guided tour. What a great adventure. It was like being on a lazy river. It was so quiet, serene and beautiful. From beginning to end is supposed to take 8 hours. The only thing I regret, is not checking out all the landmarks (stops) on the map and we got to the end too quick. It's 13-1/2 miles. The one we did stop at was the natural hot springs. That was incredible. The only bad part was climbing up a metal ladder to reach them but we all did it. I would recommend lots of sunscreen, good water shoes that can be used for hiking, snacks and water. There are so many places, small sand/rock beaches, where you can stop and explore. We went last Monday, April 25th. Found out that was the perfect day of the week to go. Motor boats weren't allowed on Mondays except for the river patrol.
We all loved the experience and thought they all did an amazing job. It is a long day so would recommend stopping and taking your time. We made it back early so had to wait for the ride back to the car. It's an incredible time and we all want to do it again.
