We’ll meet you at Paddle Craft Beach—the first beach on the left as you drive in. Look for our dark green and tan kayaks; your Trek Las Vegas guide will be ready to greet you. Restrooms and food are at the top of the lot. Note: the tour does not start at the boat ramp.
Our expert river guide will meet you at Willow Beach, outfit you with all the necessary gear—including your own illuminated kayak—and provide a brief paddling overview before leading you into the Black Canyon Narrows. Whether you're an experienced paddler or just getting started, this small-group sunset tour—limited to twelve adventurers—delivers a unique and memorable experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Tucked within the Black Canyon Narrows, Emerald Cave is a glowing gem along the Colorado River—its waters turning vibrant green as sunlight reflects through the narrow opening. Reaching it by kayak adds to the thrill, and when your boat lights up beneath you, the experience becomes nothing short of otherworldly.
After exploring Emerald Cave, continue your paddle to Echo Cave and take a short hike to a historic Hoover Dam-era site with stunning canyon views. Along the way, slip into hidden inlets, pause in quiet coves, enjoy snacks, and take a refreshing swim. As the sun begins to set, you’ll paddle back in glowing kayaks beneath the vibrant colors of the evening sky. This unforgettable Colorado River adventure is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
