Description

Embark on a day trip kayak tour through the breathtaking Black Canyon to the Cranes Nest Wash after you visit the Emerald Cave and witness historical landmarks related to the Hoover Dam. Swim in the Colorado River on a private beach and enjoy a snack on the way. Show up early enough to give yourself time to visit the Willow Beach Marina store and grab some extra snacks or water if you haven't already. Be at the Kayak Beach meeting location 15 minutes before the departure time so you can get comfortable in your PFD (Personal Floatation Device) and go over a quick safety and paddle talk. Once everyone is in a kayak and ready to go, paddle together up the crystal-clear waters of the Colorado River, with incredible sights around every bend. Sometimes you can spot amazing desert wildlife such as bighorn sheep, different types of water fowl, or the elusive bald eagle. After taking some Emerald Cave photos, be halfway to the destination. The breathtaking beauty of the Cranes Nest is only a short paddle away. Characterized by its clear, emerald waters and lush, surrounding vegetation, it is an ideal place to spot wildlife, go for a swim, and an optional 15-minute hike. On the way back, stop at the River Gaugers beach. Here, get out of the kayaks, re-fuel on some healthy snacks, and maybe go for a swim. Also, take a walk up a short path to a historic landmark. Take in an awe-inspiring view with a fantastic photo opportunity while learning about the smell of rain in the desert. After taking a well-deserved break, get back in the kayaks and finish the final leg of the exciting journey back to where you started at Kayak Beach. Take complimentary photos throughout the journey to help share your everlasting memories and will share them with you via a Google Drive link.
