What happens on the day
Discover the majestic wonders of the Colorado River!
Your journey begins at the base of the iconic Hoover Dam where you'll get a unique fish-eye view of this impressive landmark before launching your kayak. From there, you'll paddle through the breathtaking Black Canyon on a serene, 12-mile stretch of the Colorado River.
Uncover hidden gems like the mystical sauna cave and geothermal hot spring pools—all tucked away in scenic side canyons. Hike trails leading to mesmerizing waterfalls, dramatic landscapes, and glimpses of diverse wildlife along the Nevada and Arizona shorelines.
Keep an eye out for desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, and vibrant birdlife, including falcons and bald eagles. Take a refreshing dip in the emerald waters, soak in the canyon’s tranquil beauty, and discover historical gems like the 1921 water gauging sites along the way. Of course, you'll fuel your full day of adventure with a delicious catered lunch featuring chips, a cookie, and your choice of deli sandwich plus complimentary snacks, juice, and water.

FAQs
What can I expect on the tour?
You can expect to have a great time with a knowledgeable guide as you explore the waters and landscape around the Hoover Dam, Colorado River, and Black Canyon.
What should I wear?
Wear layered clothing (i.e., swimsuit and layers for warmth) but preferably no cotton or denim. For footwear, bring water shoes, water sandals, or tennis shoes. No flip-flops please. And a hat, sunglasses, & sunscreen are strongly recommended.
What if I don’t have any kayaking experience?
Beginners are welcome! Although, by the end of the trip, you’ll be a confident kayaker. Your professional guide introduces newcomers to kayaking every day.
Will I get wet?
Yes. This is a river trip. You will definitely get wet, at least up to your knees. Anything above that is considered a bonus!
Is there white water? Will I tip over?
Most days, the river is flat water with no rapids. Depending on wind, weather, and flow rates, there can be choppy water, rolling waves, and even large swells along the way. Your kayak is stable, and most people make it through the day without any “out-of-boat experiences". This doesn’t mean that you should take the river lightly! The Colorado is a big cold river, and there can be strong currents, eddies, hidden obstacles, and other unforeseen circumstances that may pose a threat. Your guide is prepared for this and will steer you in the right direction for a safe and memorable experience.
