Highlights

Emerald Cave - The moment the paddle dips into the Colorado River, one is transported back in time.

Venture into the Black Canyon narrows to explore the river that exists only an hour outside of the busy lights of the Las Vegas strip. Learn how to back your kayak up into the world famous Emerald Cave/Cove to get some stunning memorable photos of the emerald green water. The cave itself is the cherry on top of a spectacular afternoon on the beautiful section of river we paddle. The guided kayak tour takes place within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and there is an admission fee per vehicle to enter which is payable direct upon entry. This admission fee is waived if you have a current National Park annual pass or military ID.

A must do! - My wife & I had a fantastic time on a kayak tour with Salvatore today. He was so knowledgeable and pointed out a rattle snake and big horn sheep and knew so much about the plants and the history of the area. This was one of the best things we’ve done visiting the US from Australia. Highly recommend.
