Description

Ready for a break from the Las Vegas Strip? Explore the natural beauty of the Black Canyon on a 3.5-hour guided kayak tour along the Colorado River. Since this is a self-drive experience, you'll make your own way to Willow Beach Marina in Arizona, located about 40 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.

Meet your professional guide at the marina for a safety orientation and equipment fitting before launching onto the calm, clear waters of the Colorado River. From there, paddle through the dramatic Black Canyon toward the iconic Emerald Cave. When sunlight reaches the cave at the right angle, the water takes on its distinctive emerald-green color, creating a memorable photo opportunity.

As you paddle along the river, keep an eye out for desert bighorn sheep along the canyon walls, as well as bald eagles, great blue herons, and other native wildlife. Your guide will also take you to a historic 1920s gauging station, where you can stretch your legs, enjoy complimentary snacks and water, and learn more about the history of the Colorado River and the people who worked in the area.

With a focused 3.5-hour experience, this tour offers a convenient way to explore the natural landscapes of Nevada and Arizona without taking up your entire day. After your adventure, you'll have plenty of time to return to Las Vegas and continue with your plans, whether you're heading to dinner, a show, or another activity.
