Itinerary
Begin your day with convenient hotel pick-up from select Las Vegas Strip locations (**Pick up times can start up to 2 hours before the tour**) and travel in comfort aboard a Mercedes Sprinter to Willow Beach—the launch point for your kayaking adventure. After a quick safety briefing and gear fitting, paddle into the stunning Black Canyon, where sheer cliffs and narrow waterways set the stage for unforgettable exploration. On this fully guided 4-mile out-and-back eco-tour, you’ll discover the glowing waters of Emerald Cave, visit a historic overlook with panoramic views of the Colorado River, and get an up-close look at a 100-year-old river gauging station. Keep watch for native wildlife such as Desert Bighorn Sheep, Bald Eagles, and Coyotes, while your expert guide shares fascinating stories about the river's history and significance. This beginner-friendly experience includes complimentary snacks and bottled water, making it a perfect outdoor escape from the Las Vegas heat. **Pick up times can start up to 2 hours before the tour**
