Overview

Combine two iconic experiences in one day: walk the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge—soaring nearly 900 feet above the Colorado River for breathtaking dam views—before launching kayaks from Willow Beach into majestic Black Canyon. Guided by local experts, you learn about the river’s history, snap incredible photos, spot local wildlife, and enjoy a catered lunch on a secluded canyon beach. The day finishes as you paddle into Emerald Cave, where sunlight transforms the water into a vibrant, emerald green glow—a seamless blend of history, adventure, and natural wonder.

What To Expect

After being picked up from the Las Vegas Strip, your adventure begins with a visit to the Hoover Dam facility, where you'll walk atop the 900-foot-tall Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. From this incredible vantage point, you’ll enjoy stunning views of both the Hoover Dam and the Colorado River.

After taking in the views and snapping some photos, you’ll return to the shuttle van for a scenic drive down to Willow Beach Marina, where your kayaking journey begins. Your expert guide will provide a thorough kayaking orientation, explaining the ins and outs of paddling and getting you ready for the adventure ahead.

As you make your way through the canyon toward the Emerald Cave, keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and bald eagles along the cliffs and shoreline!

After exploring the iconic Emerald Cave and hearing stories of the area's 1920s-era history, you’ll stop at a peaceful beach inside the canyon to enjoy a well-deserved, catered lunch before heading back to Willow Beach.

A:

No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

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.
