Kayak Emerald Cave Deluxe - Shuttle
What your day looks like
Paddle through primitive volcanic canyon walls towering over 900’. Explore giant volcanic boulders at the opening of Black Canyon where many paddlers enjoy a descent into the crystal clear, waters of the Colorado River. Back your kayak for a photo opportunity in the famous Emerald Cave. Take a break from kayaking and explore the area while hiking up a hill to a historical site that will give you breathtaking views of the entire canyon. Enjoy a catered lunch on a remote beach, while watching the wildlife drama unfold on both Nevada and Arizona shorelines. Be prepared to see desert bighorn sheep, osprey, falcons, bald eagles, and great blue heron in their natural setting! Black Canyon is about an hour drive from the Las Vegas Strip, located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The tour begins in the morning when you arrive at Willow Beach Marina in Arizona at the paddle craft launch beach. This tour is for beginners to advanced paddlers alike.
