PRICE: $149
per person

 

Meet your guide at Willow Beach, just an hour from the Las Vegas Strip, and enjoy an exclusive launch into your full-day, 6-mile round-trip kayaking adventure. Paddle north into the Black Canyon Narrows, where bighorn sheep and bald eagles often roam the canyon walls.

Along the way, pass remnants from the Hoover Dam era and stop at scenic overlooks for incredible photo ops of the canyon vista. Your first destination is Emerald Cave, a glowing green gem made famous by National Geographic. Paddle directly inside for unforgettable photos before continuing to two more caves—Echo and Lover’s—for a one-of-a-kind experience through glittering waters, hidden inlets, and scenic coves.

Midway through the adventure, land at a secluded beach—perfect for swimming, relaxing, or sunbathing. From here, opt into a short canyon hike to a panoramic lookout while learning about the region’s rich history and geology. Rehydrate with complimentary snacks, juice, and bottled water before paddling back through the Narrows to Willow Beach.

Choose from small-group morning, mid-day, or afternoon launch times to match your adventure style—whether you crave calm waters, vibrant energy, or golden canyon glow. Every tour is flexible, spontaneous, and tailored to your group.
