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.

We had such a brilliant half-day kayaking trip with River Dogz and would absolutely recommend it.Julia was our guide and she was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and really informative without it ever feeling like we were being given a history lesson! We learnt so much about the area along the way, which really added to the whole experience.Everything was really well organised and the little extras were a great touch too. Snacks were provided and there was genuinely no shortage of water, which was very much appreciated in the Nevada/Arizona heat!The whole trip was relaxed, fun and really well run from start to finish. We had an amazing time and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Vegas trip.Thank you Julia and River Dogz!
