Description

Put on your life jacket, grab your paddle, and hop into one of our kayaks to start your half day exploration on the Colorado River. Embark on a short hike to the River Gauger's Home for a great photo opportunity. Please note: Without a guide not to explain the currents and help with paddling techniques, (or tow in extreme cases), all guests will not be able to physically make it up river against the current to the Emerald Cave. You can attempt to paddle to Emerald Cave (about 2 miles upstream from Willow Beach), a small natural cave on the Colorado, known for its green water. Continue to Emerald Cove, a beautiful beach. Take a break here and rest on the sand. Eat some snacks and have a drink. Finally, kayak back to the starting point to complete your day.
