Caving · CAVE KAYAKING TOURS

“We had an amazing time in this tour, definetly the best choice! To start, everything was very well organized in terms of logistics and timing. During the trip we felt safe, always with our guides guiding us and watching if everyone in the group was being able to keep up. During the 2h tour we saw plenty of beautiful caves and beaches and the guides even offered to take our pictures (they turned out super nice so props for the photographer skills). For me, one of the points that made this an unforgettable experience: the guides themselves: first, extremely professional, knew very well the history of the itinerary and the…”

Paddle five miles through Black Canyon to Emerald Cave with guides, snacks, and optional Las Vegas shuttle service from Mandalay Bay.
“This experience was great. We did the self-drive option from Las Vegas, and it was a scenic, short-feeling drive! Robbie, or tour leader was great. He provided excellent info about how to navigate the kayak (we had no previous experience), and the sweeping views were just majestic. Now, the "Emerald Cave" midway point of the tour was actually kinda anti-climactic (or maybe it was just cloudy overcast when we went?). Not negative by any means, just a smidge "underwhelming" compared to how awesome simply kayaking on the river was. 10/10 would recommend and definitely plan on doing this tour each time I come to Vegas. NOTE: Bring a water bag…”

“Incredible. Our guide Alfonso was so knowledgeable and funny. Kayaks were top quality and felt safe at all times. The tour was so amazing we loved it. Top tip: go out on the first tour at 8:45am and you will be the only ones out there. As we were coming back it was packed with boats, kayakers, tourists etc which would have spoilt the whole feel. Would totally recommend this very professional company and guides.”

The scenery along the coast was breathtaking, and exploring the caves from the kayak felt truly special. Our guide Ibra was incredible — super friendly, funny, and full of positive energy. He made the whole trip even better with his jokes and stories about the caves and the area. He also took some great photos for us to remember this adventure! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Algarve. Even with a bit of rough weather, it was one…”
