Great trip. Soren, Faith, and the whole team were great. We really enjoyed the mix of history and natural information they shared about the canyon and surrounding area during the trip.

Paddle 4–6 miles on a guided tour through stunning Black Canyon, exploring hidden historic sites and the iconic Emerald Cave, with the chance to swim at a secluded beach. Your experience includes a delicious deli-style lunch, stories about the canyon’s colorful past, and options for either self-drive or seamless shuttle pickup from select Las Vegas hotels. With crystal-clear Colorado River waters, incredible photo opportunities, and top-rated guides, this adventure is perfect for nature lovers and anyone wanting a longer, fully-supported outdoor escape.

This was an amazing experience. They pick you up at the hotel, we stopped off at the Hoover Dam and got some great info from our tour guide Faith who was very knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as they city itself. When you get the to dock, they make sure everyone knows how to use the kayak and do a little bit of practicing before you actually set out. Then we did a 2 mile down and back paddle to the emerald cave. She let us stop off at a small beach, took us over to a cave where your voice echo, pointed out a bald eagle nest and had a cool little spot for a picnic. Our tour guide told stories and showed remnants of the home of the explorer that researched the area to decide if it was a good spot to build the Hoover Dam. She even took you on a super easy, short walk up a hill to see the views from the top. I would do the full day tour with this company again! It was the highlight of our trip for sure!
