Be inspired by spectacular scenery as you paddle your way through the past and into otherworldly waters on this breathtaking kayak tour to Emerald Cave!
Leave the glittering lights and neon signs of Vegas behind on this awe-inspiring 3-hour kayak tour down the Colorado River. Great for both beginners and paddling pros alike, you’ll experience an unforgettable trip back in time that will lead to a majestic natural wonder.
Your journey starts when you meet up with your professional guide at Willow Beach, Arizona. The moment the paddle dips into the water, the magic begins. Feel the gentle current carry you into a spectacular landscape filled with historic sites of the 1920s era government project that has shaped life in the desert southwest.
The mood changes as you make your way into the Black Canyon narrows. It’s like slipping over into another world. Look up and marvel at its ancient volcanic canyon walls rising over 900 feet into the air. Listen as your guide shares about the enchanting landscape and its history. Then get your camera ready to snap eye-popping photos of the stunning green waters of Emerald Cave.
Soak up the breathtaking views of this unforgettable outdoor adventure kayaking to Emerald Cave!
You can expect to have a great time with a knowledgeable guide as you explore the waters and landscape of Black Canyon and Emerald Cave.
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.
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.
Yes. This is a river trip. You will definitely get wet, at least up to your knees. Anything above that is considered a bonus!
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.
