Come join us on an exciting, educational Las Vegas Kayak trip down the scenic Colorado River in Black Canyon. Paddle your own top of the line canoe or kayak from the base of the mighty Hoover Dam to Willow Beach, Arizona. All that is required of you is that you show up with a smile and ready to have some fun! This section of the Colorado is moving flat water. It is not a whitewater trip, and it is perfect for first timers or seasoned paddlers. Our entertaining and experienced guides will make certain you don't miss a thing.
Your Las Vegas Kayak trip will begin with transportation from your hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Pick ups are at 7:00 - 7:30AM. Our courteous drivers will pick you up and escort you in total comfort to our launch area in Boulder City, near the Hoover Dam. We meet at this Staging Area at approx. 8:00AM. Once there you will meet your knowledgeable guide and we will go over some safety issues. After a short drive down one of the most historical roads in Nevada we will arrive at the base of one of man's most triumphant creations, the Hoover Dam. This is where your paddle trip begins!
We use state of the art 2 person kayaks on our Guided River Trips. These kayaks are very stable and allow even first timer's easy control and easy paddling. Those wishing to use canoes or 1 or 2 person kayaks can do so if you let us know in advance. Your guide will give you complete introductory paddle instruction and will fine-tune your skills by the end of the day. Life vests will be furnished prior to launch and must be worn at all times while you are on the river! No exceptions!
Throughout the day your expert guide will stop and show you unique and hidden places such as the Sauna Cave, Gold Strike Canyon, Lone Palm Canyon, Emerald Cave, Hanging Gardens and many other treats. Your guide will inform you of the historical significance of many river features and about the wildlife that inhabits the area. Some creatures you may see are Big Horn Sheep, Bald Eagles, Coyotes, Red Tail Hawks, wild Burros and more. One other very popular attraction along the river is the many natural hot springs and hot waterfalls that hide in the canyons. You will have ample time to enjoy a relaxing soak while on your scenic journey!
Your day will also include a nice picnic lunch on a secluded beach or rock that will provide you with million dollar views and great company. This entire experience is one that will leave you wanting more and more. It is one of the most striking yet peaceful places on Earth, and think, it is only 30 minutes from Las Vegas! Your trip ends at Willow Beach, Arizona, where an air-conditioned shuttle vehicle will meet you to take you back to your hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. You will arrive back at your hotel at approx. 5:00 - 6:00PM.
