Paddle five miles through Black Canyon to Emerald Cave with guides, snacks, and optional Las Vegas shuttle service from Mandalay Bay.

“This experience was great. We did the self-drive option from Las Vegas, and it was a scenic, short-feeling drive! Robbie, or tour leader was great. He provided excellent info about how to navigate the kayak (we had no previous experience), and the sweeping views were just majestic. Now, the "Emerald Cave" midway point of the tour was actually kinda anti-climactic (or maybe it was just cloudy overcast when we went?). Not negative by any means, just a smidge "underwhelming" compared to how awesome simply kayaking on the river was. 10/10 would recommend and definitely plan on doing this tour each time I come to Vegas. NOTE: Bring a water bag…”

“Wow!!! what an amazing experience! From the very beginning, Chelsea an incredible hometown girl made us feel like we were part of her story. She has such a natural gift for storytelling, it didn’t feel like we were being “taught” history, it felt like we were being let in on a beautiful secret about this beautiful river and everything around it. She went above and beyond, sharing not just the local history but also stories about the wildlife, the land, the people even the little details that most would overlook during the drive to the river and during the actual kayaking. Made the trip seem so fast! . You could…”
