Description
Escape the Vegas Strip for a 3-hour guided kayak tour to Emerald Cave. Drive just 40 mins to Willow Beach to paddle the Colorado River, see the green glow, and spot bighorn sheep on this nature break.
Ready to trade the slot machines for the serenity of the Black Canyon? If you’re looking for a break from the desert heat and the casino floor, join us for a 3-hour guided kayak tour. Since this is a self-drive adventure, you have the freedom to hop in your car and be at the water’s edge at Willow Beach, Arizona, in just about 40 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.
Meet our professional guide at the Willow Beach Marina for a quick safety orientation and equipment fitting. Once you launch onto the crystal-clear Colorado River, you’ll paddle through dramatic canyon walls toward the iconic Emerald Cave. When the light hits the cave at the right angle, the water transforms into a glowing emerald jewel - it’s one of the best photo opportunities in the Southwest.
The river is a true sanctuary. As you glide across the calm, flat water, keep your eyes peeled for desert bighorn sheep on the cliffs, bald eagles, and blue herons. Your guide will also lead you to a historical 1920s gauging station. It’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs, enjoy complimentary snacks and water, and hear cool stories about the pioneers who once worked on this section of the river.
Because this is a focused 3-hour experience, it’s the ultimate choice if you want to experience the "real" Nevada and Arizona without losing a whole day. You’ll have the flexibility to head back to Vegas with plenty of time to spare for your dinner or show reservations.
