What To Expect

Just an hour's drive from the Las Vegas Strip, this guided kayak tour offers a refreshing escape into nature at Willow Beach!

Get ready for an unforgettable 3-hour kayaking adventure through the breathtaking Black Canyon. Cool off in the crystal-clear water, swim around, and simply take it all in.
Your journey begins at Willow Beach, where you’ll meet your expert guide who will get you geared up and ready to explore.

This small-group experience, limited to just 12 paddlers, offers a more personal touch. Keep your eyes on Desert BigHorn Sheep and Bald Eagles as you paddle through the canyon's scenic landscape.

Your first stop is a short two-mile paddle upstream to the picture-perfect Emerald Cave—famous for its glowing green waters and a must for any nature lover.
Another highlight of the tour is a historical overlook to the Black Canyon. After a quick 5–6 minute hike, take in sweeping views of the Colorado River and learn about the region's rich past from your guide. Enjoy the beach, swim around and refuel with some snacks.
