Full-Day Emerald Cave Kayak Tour, 3 Caves, Hidden Beach, Wildlife
Overview
This full-day kayaking adventure goes beyond the typical Emerald Cave tour—lasting up to an hour longer than most and taking you deeper into the Black Canyon Narrows for a more immersive, unhurried experience. Visit Emerald, Echo, and Lover’s Caves, explore hidden inlets, and paddle through some of the canyon’s most remote stretches.
This is not a rushed out-and-back. With more time on the water, you’ll paddle at a relaxed pace, discovering off-the-beaten-path spots, spotting wildlife like bighorn sheep and bald eagles, and taking in views most paddlers never reach. Stop at a secluded sandy beach to swim, relax, or unwind, and opt for a short hike into a slot canyon that rewards with panoramic canyon views.
Along the way, your guide captures hundreds of photos and videos, so you can stay in the moment while leaving with incredible memories.
With all gear, snacks, and drinks included—plus expert guides and small groups—this is the full-day tour you don’t want to miss.

Nov 2021No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
