The booking process was straightforward, and the trip planning was excellent. Our guide, Kwame, was awesome—patient, engaging, and great at keeping the group together while explaining everything along the way. It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it.

This 3-hour guided kayak tour is ideal for all skill levels, covering a scenic 4 to 5-mile roundtrip journey from Willow Beach to the magical Emerald Cave—complete with a stop for snacks, swimming, and a brief hike. Tours are small-group and led by experienced guides, giving plenty of attention whether paddling solo or with friends, and wildlife sightings are common along the Black Canyon’s dramatic volcanic cliffs. For added convenience, optional shuttle service from Mandalay Bay means stress-free transport and park entry is included with the shuttle package, making it an easy and memorable adventure just outside Las Vegas.

The tour was awesome. We had a wonderful time. We self-drove to meet at williow beach, arizona. The location to meet was easy to spot. The staff were friendly. Our tour was at 10am but they gave us sometimes to use restroom before we started to take off. We left about 1020-1030 and we were back by 1330. The tour itself is about 3hrs for us. It was a great day and the weather was not too hot. Our tour guy was Juston and he was awesome. He gave us a very detailed instruction on how to paddle. We got to stop on the shore along the way to hike up to take picture. They had water, granola bar, and banana for snacks which was all we need i feel like. You can bring your own snacks/drinks if you'd like. Make sure to bring hat and sunscreen. If you dont have any, you can purchase it at the store there. I love that juston also took our group photos and single photo at the Emerald cave and share those photos with us. Thank you Juston. We came here on december 22nd, so the weather was perfect. Its was not too crowded. The water may not be as beautiful as it is in the summer since there was not much of the sun light but its ok. Its about over 4 miles kayaking therr and back and i feel its perfect to paddle in the winter so its not too hot and tiring :) thank you for a great experience and all those talks along the way Juston! We will come agaim next time!

We had the best experience with Las Vegas SUP Kayak Club. Communication was clear and timely. The tour was exactly as described and our tour guide- Justin- was amazing. He was a great tutor, historian, photographer, and we really enjoyed his company. We loved having him— and the water— all to ourselves.

Kwame gave us a fantastic tour! He was in communication with us prior to our tour and answered all of my questions. He was very conversational on the drive and pointed out various things along the way. He led our group with confidence and at a pace that matched the participants. Kwame made sure we got the best light for pictures in the cave and told us interesting things about the shoreline and the beach where we stopped. It was a wonderful on the river with an excellent guide!

Despite driving for 4hrs from Scottsdale Az to the meetup point in Nevada, the kayak experience was well worth it and the scenic views of the Colorado River and of the surrounding mountains are spectacular. A special thank you to our safety tour guide/instructor, Kwame for providing us with historical context and taking pictures of our journey throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
