This half-day kayak tour lasts about five to six hours and starts at Willow Beach Marina on the Colorado River near Las Vegas. Participants receive all necessary safety equipment and can choose between single or tandem kayaks. The guided route follows the Colorado River through Black Canyon, where kayakers paddle along emerald-green water bordered by high canyon walls and desert scenery. The tour includes a stop at Emerald Cove, a grotto where sunlight makes the water appear bright green. Kayakers spend about thirty minutes at Emerald Cove to explore the rock formations and enjoy the quiet setting. The tour also visits Emerald Cave, which is a grotto-style cave rather than a paddle-through cave. Snacks and bottled water are provided during the tour. National Park entrance fees are included only if the optional hotel pickup and drop-off service is selected. Hotel pickup and drop-off from select hotels are available as an option and typically begin about one hour before the tour start time. If participants choose to drive themselves, they are responsible for their own transportation and National Park fees. Lunch and gratuities are not included.
