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.
