Prepare for a kayaking experience that offers panoramic views of the Hoover Dam from a unique water-level perspective. As you drop a staggering 1100 feet in elevation, the massive dam emerges before you. Your journey takes you through staggering Black Canyon walls as you paddle downstream along the Colorado River. On your Hoover Dam Kayak Tour, you will be surrounded by spectacular scenery and pass many natural highlights such as Arizona Hot Springs, Historic sites, Scenic Overlooks, Fish Hatchery, Native Flora, and more!

This Kayak expedition has other notable highlights but a famous feature is Emerald Cove. Concealed within the Black Canyon’s walls, this hidden gem showcases the glistening green waters that define its name. The Emerald Cove is actually considered a grotto but that does not stop it from being a fantastic photo opportunity. Your kayak excursion will also include secluded beach stops, perfect for fueling back up with snacks and relaxing in the peaceful Waters. This tour is perfect for all levels of fitness with our amazing guides tailoring the experience from beginner to advanced level kayakers.

Ryan and the crew really made this experience fantastic! A great way to take in the Colorado River and the beautiful mountains. He even took personalized photos and sent them to us after the experience! If you're looking for an adventure that's not the usual hustle of the LV Strip this is the one to do!
