Description

Specialties

Our trips include kayaking, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, ATV tours, horseback riding, and adventures in Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon. Multi-​day and multi-​sport tours have been added to our menu. We house a team of well-​trained and knowledgeable Guides to answer questions, lead adventures, teach and instruct, or even recommend local fare.

With all this growth, we have managed to hold tight to our roots. Paddling is still our specialty… and we can prove it with over 120 boats in our rental fleet.

Our retail shop is located in Boulder City, Nevada, about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and 10 miles from the Hoover Dam. We sell high performance sea kayaks, canoes, and stand-​up paddleboards, along with paddles, pfd’s, and accessories to outfit your entire trip. You can also rent camping equipment such as sleeping bags, stoves, tents, coolers, and mess kits — so you don’t have to worry about packing it on your flight to Las Vegas.

History

Established in 2004.

Desert Adventures was born out of the need for reliable service, better performing kayaks, and all-​around premium backcountry adventures. We had humble beginnings; just a handful of kayaks and no employees.

But soon, the company took on a life of it’s own. Within a short time, we have emerged a full-​blown adventure company and we specialize in personalized service and premium outdoor adventures.

Our company is run by outdoor enthusiasts. Our office is the great outdoors, and we love to go to work everyday. We are always on the lookout for great destinations to hike, paddle, bike, and camp. When we aren’t working in the outdoors, we are playing in the outdoors. We have a simple belief that nature is therapeutic and relaxing, and there is no place we would rather be.

Our guides and staff are some of the best in the business, and our equipment is better than any around — hands down. Join us on an guided tour and see what the buzz is about!

Izzy C.

Business Owner

Izzy Collett was raised in the mountains and deserts of Utah. The great outdoors was not just someplace to be visited on vacation, but rather a way of life for her family. She owes her love of the outdoors to her Mom, who always found time for camping, hiking, or fishing.

In addition to 18 years of paddling experience, she also enjoys rafting, backpacking, trekking, snowboarding, and off-​roading ATV’s. Her passion to document her travels has led her to a professional career in photography. She has travelled extensively in the Southwestern United States, as well as Mexico, Alaska, British Columbia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Hong Kong. Her photos grace the websites and walls of many local adventure companies.

With over 20 years in the restaurant industry, she has developed gourmet menus, with beautiful presentations for guided tours. Her goal is to offer a premier guided service, combined with an authentic outdoor adventure tour.
