This guided kayak tour lasts about three hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off from select hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Participants paddle on the Colorado River, passing through the Black Canyon cliffs and entering the Emerald Cave. The tour provides all required kayak equipment, bottled water, and snacks. It is designed for all skill levels but requires some athletic ability. The guides lead the group safely along the route and share information about the landscape and wildlife. Guests should wear suitable clothing for varying weather conditions, including swimsuits, layers, and closed-toe water shoes. Dry bags and waterproof cases are available for purchase at the office, as no lockers are provided. Pickup begins about two hours before the tour start time, and the operator will assist in arranging the closest pickup location if the hotel is not on the list.
