Highlights
- Hoover Dam - We are one of the few Outfitters approved to take you to the base of the base of the awe-inspiring Hoover Dam. There are restricted passes and guests do need to go through an approved outfitter like us to launch in kayaks from the base of the Hoover Dam. We see Sauna Cave, Goldstrike Waterfalls, Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs, Arizona Hot Springs, Boyscout Slot Canyon, and the Emerald Cave.
- Arizona Hot Springs - We hike up from the river and up a large ladder through a waterfall to get to the world famous Arizona Hot Springs.
- Emerald Cove - We will pass by the Emerald Cave on our way back to Willow Beach. Lighting will be good July-September but we can go inside year round.
- Willow Beach - We exit here at the dirt boat launch of Willow Beach. We can either pick you up there (If your a morning person) so you can hop in your car and go when we conclude our trip, or we can take you back to your car at the Hoover Dam Lodge (If your not a morning person)
- Colorado River - We will spend about half our time kayaking the Colorado River while also stopping at Goldstrike Hot Springs, Sauna Cave, Infinity Hot Springs, and Boy Scout Canyon.

Additional Information
What sets us apart is our innovative, fluid pricing, making it cost-effective for large groups.
Guests have the option to explore ONLY one of these crevice canyons in a day’s expedition, but we traverse THROUGH all of it thanks to a SHORT-CUT through the Colorado River, embarking right from the foot of the Hoover Dam.
Sauna Cave: we take a pause here to unravel hot springs deep within the gorge.
Gold Strike Hot Springs: merely a stone’s throw away, we make our way to these hot springs for a brief plunge and a chance for a picture.
Boy scout Canyon: we step out of our kayaks to wander in this vicinity to witness hot springs, tight crevice canyons, and indulge in some mountaineering.
Arizona Hot Springs Beach: we take an about quarter of an hour hike to this expansive beach area to savor a lunch break.
Emerald Cave: this beautiful cave, the result of natural fault lines, lights up in emerald hues. We sail through for a swift snapshot.
Emerald Cove: we halt on the beach here for a half-hour recess.

Hoover dam to Willow beach! - I recently went on a kayak tour and had an absolutely incredible experience! Our host was fantastic— (LENNY) knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The tour took us to stunning hot springs and beautiful waterfalls that I never would have discovered on my own. The timing of the trip was perfect, allowing us to enjoy each spot to the fullest with no crowds. I couldn't have asked for a better adventure and highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. Five stars all the way

Unforgetable Memory !!! - Awesome Time!! Soooo close to the Hoover Dam that they have to turn off the flow from the dame so you can launch kayak. From their a leisurely paddle downstream with frequent breaks to stretch legs. Oh and see Hot Springs through short easy hikes, but for those that like a more adventurous trek visit Boyscout Canyon. Our guide EJ was Great! A truely knowledgable nature guide who also knows the hotspots in Vegas! WARNING!!! Take water!! I recommend a gallon. Yes, that much. Sure maybe it had to due with the August heat, but you will regret it if you don't have enough. Lastly, the water temp is a soothing 55 degrees. You will unavoidably get your feet wet and you will probably want (and can) get the rest. So plan for it and have create a remakable unforgetable memory. @adventurechild @adventureconcierge
