I absolutely loved the kayaking tour with Ian. He took the time to talk to everyone individually while we were on the water. I loved his dad jokes and you can tell he loves what he does. Ian was very welcoming and very informative of our surroundings and the history around our trip. He made the trip well worth it. I definitely recommend taking a trip with Ian and this company.

Cyndi & I had a fantastic day on the water with Ian on Tuesday afternoon May 7th.
The 4+ mile kayak trip up the river to Emerald cave & back was wonderful.
The fact that both of are in our 70’s was no limitation at all.
Ian did a great job of teaching us the history of the area & knowledge about plants, animal & etc.
It was a fulfilling day on the Colorado river & we also learned not everyone knows how to row a kayak backwards!

Superbe experience in Emerald Cove. Our guide and owner Ian was funny, considerate and entertaining, always made sure that each one in our small group of 6 had a safe kayaking trip AND great time. Shared his knowledge of history of the Colorado river, indigenous lifestyle and plants. Best tip for ecotravelers who love to see what else is there around Vegas. And that bald eagle put on a show for us! Thank you Ian!

I am so glad we booked our kayak tour with Ian. We had to reschedule twice, and found them to be very professional and responsive. Our 1pm tour had great weather and conditions. The water was fabulous! Ian took photos for us, and they were provided promptly after the trip. The outing took 3 hours, including a short break and nature walk. Ian is a beautiful soul, and even recommended us a great Thai restaurant for dinner! He was very accommodating of each person’s kayaking abilities, fast or slow, technical or not. He also seemed to know everyone out on the water, and is really invested in growing the community. I’d recommend booking with Ian if you’re new to the area and/or to kayaking!

Took the Emerald Cove Kayak 8 am tour and had an incredible time. I was the only person that booked this day, and Ian was still willing to complete the tour without charging me extra. Everything was well organized, timely, good quality and easy to use kayaks, a nice snack, and Ian provided me helpful recommendations for improving my kayaking abilities that I was able to implement and practice during our experience. I left feeling a more confident kayaker, which I had not experienced on other kayaking tours. Ian is professional yet super personable and easy to talk to. It honestly felt like I was hanging out with a friend. I loved that we left so early because it allowed us to beat the crowds of kayakers from other tours and have the lake pretty much to ourselves. The entire lake was emerald green and so clear!! I also enjoyed our nature walk where he shared his knowledge of the local plants and history of the lake itself. It’s also nice knowing that I was supporting a small, local business by taking this tour as he owns the company and runs it himself. 100% recommend this company to anyone looking for a kayak tour in the area, and I hope I can take another one of his tours in the future. I’ve already recommended him to friends that live in the area!

We took the afternoon tour so we could enjoy the quietness (..!!) of nature on the way back. We give him 4 stars because Ian was complaining to get too many 5 star reviews. A snack is provided, but bring your own water. Otherwise you have to buy a plastic bottle in the gift shop.

Ian is very nice, funny, patient and attentive to details (offering snacks, dipping our paddle in the water before giving it to us so it’s not too warm for our hands). He also takes the time and doesn’t rush to take us back to the beach. Would recommend anytime. Thanks from Isa & Sebas!

Our tour guide Ian was there to make sure we had a great time. The knowledge he shared of the river and canyon had an enhanced feeling to it because you are face to face with all the sights, smells and sounds. The serenity really helped me to reset. Thank you, Ian, for this special moment that Jackie and I got to spend on the river with you.

The water was clear and the weather was absolutely perfect that day but what really made the tour most memorable was our amazing guide and owner of the company Ian! Ian was so friendly and knowledgeable. He also had quite a few dad jokes that would make you laugh. We were able to paddle around the lake to Emerald Cave where he took many pictures of the group and individuals. Also a short little hike up a hill to the remains of a house that used to be there great views of the lake! We saw big horn sheep and lots of mallard ducks!

Lake Mead is the most beautiful lake I've ever seen with crystal clear waters. You won't regret it!

We drove from Las Vegas and parked easily right by the meeting point. Ian had all kayaks ready to go. My husband and I took our two kids 9&12. It was the perfect way to spend the day. Ian knew the waters so well. We avoided all the large kayak groups which made the tour peaceful and personalized. The Emerald Cave was magical but honestly the entire river is gorgeous. We stopped along the water at one point to stretch our legs and learn more about the history of the land and river. Excellent tour !!

6 stars! We did the whole dam tour and what a cool way to see the Hoover Dam! The gear was in great condition (comfy seats). I loved that we could get single or double kayaks (some tours only have doubles). The hot springs were lovely and the hike was short but pretty. We saw the large groups with other companies and it was so nice to be in a small group where you could be more flexible (we spent over an hour at the hot spring, skip emerald cave, paddle fast to get home). Guide is super knowledgeable and makes the tour fun. I also had no qualms about our safety. PRO TIP: go on a day when motor-craft are not allowed.

I'll start off by saying we're already planning another trip through the area and hope to book another tour with Ian! We had a precious few days away from the rigors of parenting three young kids so you can imagine our absolute delight when the Kayak Lake Mead tour was quickly a highlight of our trip out from MN. From the phone call the night before to check in and make sure we were prepared to the snack on the short hike - the whole experience felt like we were meeting an old friend who just happened to be a FABULOUS kayak adventure host. Ian was so easy to hang with, knew his stuff and made the adventure a lasting impression. The day was beautiful, the gear was clean and in great shape. Hope to see you again, soon, Ian, this time with kids in tow! Highly recommended to book this. It's an afternoon's investment so well worth it.

Our experience with Ian was first class.
I was in a double kayak with my partner and starting off Ian helped us settle into the kayak & offered clever tips. He was kind respectful fun and full of great local knowledge. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. We stopped at a small beach and went for a walk and had a few snacks as Ian spoke about the history of the are, the local flora & fauna. Overall, I was delighted with our experience. Thank you Ian!!

Ian was a phenomenal guide, incredibly personable, professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We had such a beautiful and peaceful experience. Highly recommend Kayak Lake Mead if you want to check out Willow Beach/Lake Mead without large groups of other kayakers and wish for a more personal experience. We had such a great time that we are quite literally already planning another trip back at the end of this year (2024) for a longer kayaking ride with Ian. 10/10 recommend!

Kayak tours by a well traveled, knowledgeable and safety-oriented group leader. Fun for all experience levels, even if you have never been in a kayak before, the leader can help you get started to enjoy the beauty of Lake Mead kayaking.

This experience was top tier! We were running a little behind because we were on an ATV excursion prior to this but Ian was able to stick around a little for us. He also brought us a snack which was great because on the way back, my stomach was growling like a bear😂 Great views, vibes and convo. Would highly recommend!

My sister and I felt that our trip to Lake Mead National Recreation Area would not be complete without actually getting out on the water. Neither of us had much kayaking experience. We chose Kayak Lake Mead to take us out to the Emerald Cave, which was a 3-4 hour kayak tour. The experience was fantastic! Ian was excellent with explaining all of the plans and kept in communication with us to make sure that we knew where to go, when to arrive, and what to bring. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and communicated all kinds of details about the river, the geology, and the history of the area. I cannot emphasize enough how much fun this trip was, and particularly what an excellent guide Ian was. I would highly recommend Kayak Lake Mead if you also want to have an unforgettable experience out on the Colorado river.

My sister and I had an extremely positive experience kayaking from Willow Beach out to the Emerald Caves with Kayak Lake Mead and Ian as our tour guide. The particular day we went out my sister and I were the only clients so we got a highly personalized experience. Ian is very easy to talk to, and shared a lot of information about the geology and history of the area as we paddled. Neither of us was particularly experienced at kayaking, but he was extremely helpful, and we had a great time! The paddle trip also included a short amount of time on land, viewing some historical ruins. If we were to go back to Lake Mead, and wanted to do more paddling on the Colorado river, we would unhesitatingly book our experience through Kayak Lake Mead!

AMAZING!! From start to finish Ian was awesome!! Even weeks before our trip Ian was only a text away from answering my many questions. He was so very knowledgeable about the route we were kayaking and told us little spots to hit and see. He was right on time to shuttle us to the launch point and so very helpful getting our kayaks the 100 yards down to the water! Amazing personality, very helpful, knowledge about current this as well as the historical things,and so very cool!! Would highly recommend this company and especially Ian for your next Colorado River kayaking adventure!! Thank you Ian for helping us have one of the greatest times ever on our kayaks!! We will definitely be back again - with more family and friends!

Ian was an extremely knowledgeable and fun tour guide! I learned so many facts about the location and he even pointed out tons of local wildlife like bighorn sheep, a wild tarantula, and schools of fish! I can’t recommend this tour enough whether you’re a vegas local or just visiting and looking for some beautiful outdoor activities.

If you are thinking about kayaking Emerald Cave, look no further than Kayak Lake Mead and Ian. He has great knowledge of the history and area and is very personable. By keeping his tour group small, he is able to help all of his guests should they need it, as well as getting to know them. At the end of the tour, it felt like I had a new friend.
