Full description

Spend a day surrounded by clear water and natural landscapes on this guided kayaking tour starting from Las Vegas. Paddle along the Colorado River and see the Emerald Cave. This is a great tour option for both beginners and advanced paddlers alike.

This kayaking tour paddles onto the Colorado River at various times in the morning, starting from Las Vegas and taking off into the water at Willow Beach, Arizona. An early morning tour lets you beat the heat and the crowds.

The moment the paddle dips into the Colorado River, you'll be transported back in time. Paddle past historic sites of the 1920s era government project that gave life to the desert southwest.

Venture into the Black Canyon narrows to explore the river that exists only an hour outside of the busy lights of the Las Vegas strip.

Arrive at Emerald Cave and learn how to back up your kayak into the cave to get some unbeatable photos of the emerald green water. The cave itself is the cherry on top of a spectacular afternoon on this picturesque section of the river.

Tolle Tour, netter Guide. Es lohnt sich früh aufzustehen und die Tour um 8 Uhr zu buchen. Auf jeden Fall eine Erfahrung wert.

Tolle Tour - gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis - rund 2 Meilen zur Emerald Cove, und wieder zurück mit kleinem Stop in einer Bucht zum Schwimmen. Es gab ausreichend Wasser und eine große Auswahl an Snacks..
