| - This past week, the hubby and I took a trip to Vegas to celebrate our anniversary. The strip can get old really fast, so we decided to book a kayaking tour to break up the monotony of gambling, shopping, drinking, etc. So glad we did! I chose Evolution Expeditions because they were the only Company I found that offered half day tours every day of the week, and being a kayaking rookie, I wasn't ready to commit to a full day of kayaking.
Our guide for the day was Rod, who picked us up at the front door of our hotel (which was super convenient since we didn't have a rental car) at 8:45am. The drive took a little over an hour, but Rod immediately made us feel comfortable and the ride did not seem long at all. He was very knowledgeable about the Hoover Dam and pointed out landmarks and provided us with the relevant historical background. Once we got to the launch site, he showed the hubby and I the basics and off we went.
While out on the river, Rod let us set the pace and pointed out the local wildlife. He even took pictures of us kayaking, leaving us to be able to focus on the scenery. We stopped at a little beach where Rod provided lunch, and we got to rest for a bit. During our little break, Rod even joined the hubby in some rock jumping into the river. The hubby had a blast!
Once we were all done, Rod delivered us back to the hotel around 4ish, which was perfect timing for us to get ready to go out and hit the strip again. All in all, we had an awesome time! We highly recommend and will definitely go for a full day kayaking tour on our next trip. Evolution Expeditions made it such a stress free day, and between the hotel pick up, the picture taking and the lunch, the hubby and I didn't need to worry about a thing! And bonus points for sending us pictures from the tour by the next day!
