| - The trip starts by being picked up at whatever hotel you are staying at.
I was picked up right on time by Celeste. She went to the different hotels and we picked up the few other boaters for the day. As we drove out to the canyon, she told us different facts about the local area and even drove us through Boulder City (which I would love to stop at next time) Celeste made the trip very fun!
When we got the the location, our kayak's were already in the water and ready to go. We were given plastic baggies for anything that you wanted to take along.
What to bring: hat ( I forgot to pack one but borrowed one of theirs), sunscreen, camera, money (tips and you can buy $2.00 big beers at the end if you have time), water shoes or sneakers that you don't care get wet.
So, we met Seth, your tour guide. He gave us a rundown of the kayaks and set us up so we would have the perfect fit to the petals. Yes, petals! These fancy-schmancy kayaks had foot petals so you could steer them so easily! I am a woman and choose to have a single kayak and was totally comfortable doing this trip myself.
Seth had already packed water in each of our kayaks so we could drink as we wished. We were off! The water is absolutely beautiful and clear! We could see nice size fish swimming 15-20 feet below us at times. Seth was wonderful! He pointed out all types of interesting points of view. We saw a great blue heron, a bald Eagle flying above us and tons of different birds and even a small lizard. We boated up stream for a few miles and it was breathtaking! Now, We went on a day that the air temps were 109 but the water was 56 so the air temps didn't bother me at all. We visited the Emerald Canyon and had snacks on a beach. We couldn't do cliff jumping that day because the water levels were a tad too low to be safe but we could go swimming.
After a bit, we were off again to paddle the 2nd half of the trip. Again, Seth was awesome throughout the entire tour! He was fun to talk too and shares my enthusiasm about "good" beer- so right there should show you what type of guy he is. ;-)
When we got back to the dock area Celeste was ready to help pack up the boats and take us back to the hotel.
I can not say enough about this trip. This company went above and beyond what I expected and I absolutely will be back with my family next time.
My only negative was that I choose a shorter trip and I should have done their 12 mile/ all day trip, but it gave me a taste of the trip andI am itching to back and do it again soon!
