This small-group guided kayak tour begins at Willow Beach, located inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area. After a quick safety orientation, you’ll paddle 4.5 miles (7.2 km) round trip through the serene Black Canyon. For shorter tours please see Ez Kayak “Scenic Escape” Tour or you may choose our “Self Guided Kayak Rentals” without a tour.
While Emerald Cave is the most requested stop (and we reach it 95% of the time), the true highlight is a short, peaceful hike to a scenic overlook with views of the entire canyon and lake. Your guide will share stories of native wildlife, geology, and river lore throughout the trip.
This is a nature-forward experience designed for relaxation and wonder—not adrenaline. This is located just 45 minutes from the Las Vegas, NV strip and 20 minutes from the world famous Hoover Dam.
***All guests are required to complete an online waiver before participating. A link will be sent by email after booking, and each person in your group must complete their own waiver. If you do not receive the email link, you can also contact us at info@ezkayaktours.com or call us***
