Fun trip seeing Gods creation! - Fun and beautiful trip down the river. Tyler was the best tour guide as well as the other guide, Haley I think. We also seen a bald eagle and sheep on a he side of the mountains. They also took lots of pictures and even let us do a selfie with them. I would highly recommend this trip! We really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks Riverdogz!

We enjoyed the first part... - We enjoyed the first part of the trip. Nice relaxing tour of the river. Cool history of the area. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable despite this being her 2nd month giving the tour. My one critique was the time wasted waiting (75 minutes in the 95 Degree Arizona/NV heat) waiting to paddle into a shallow cave we stayed in for 2 minutes. River Dogz absolutely has to do something about the timing of multiple tours going all out at once.
