This is a shallow cave on the Arizona side of the river. When the sun hits it at the right angle, the water sparkles like an incredible emerald gem, making for some really cool photographs. The tour duration is approximately 7.5 hours including pickup/drop-off and transportation. We are on the water for around 3-4 hours, with plenty of time to swim, eat, hang out and just enjoy the day! :D

Great late November activity with colleagues.

We were a group of 6 colleagues looking for a nice trip prior to a conference in Las Vegas! The Emerald Cave Kayak Tour did not disappoint. It was late November with a bit of sun and hardly any wind. We self-drove and getting in and out of the kayaks wasn't difficult at all. Pro tip: arrive early and get on the river before the crowds do.

An Epic day with an amazing tour guide - Blair

We took a kayak tour on the Colorado River to Emerald Cave with Blair yesterday. He was the best - gave background information to and from site- which we all learned so many new things. It was amazing trip for all of us. We were celebrating 21 st birthdays and he made it fun. I want to thank Blair for also making sure we viewed Lake Mead, Hemenway Park and Desert Great horn sheep. Wow! Such a beautiful place to visit. We will definitely book again with Blair - he made our trip memorable!!

Emerald Cave Kayakers

Blair was our guide and he was fabulous. He made everything work perfectly and made the whole experience outstanding. He was personable, informative, and just plain fun to have as our tour guide. I would recommend him to anyone doing a kayaking tour in the future with no hesitation.

Awesome day out. A must do.

Blair picked us up on schedule. Very friendly from the get go. Chantal and Erica were also on the trip. The 5 of us got on so well, plenty of banter. Blair knows his stuff and gave us so much information (not overload) about where we were and our surroundings. We had an amazing time on the Colardo river going to the Emerald cave from willow beach. We went to echo cave and had a blast. Going back to willow beach we had the wind behind us. Gentle poodle back. Gracefully get out of the kayak and get a well deserved beer. Drive back to vegas with plenty more banter. Thank you Blair, Lisa and Simon

Best Kayak Tour Ever!

My wife and I booked a private half day kayak tour on the Colorado River to Emerald Cave with Blair at Venture Out Vegas. He was the tour guide you hope to get when you book a tour on the internet! He was on-time for our pick-up, courteous, very personable and safety oriented. Overall Blair was a great guy to spend an afternoon with kayaking the Colorado River. He also provided bottled water and food for the trip. Since it was a private tour he allowed us to customize our trip. We opted for more kayaking time, but he offered to stop at numerous beaches along the river to swim, rest or have lunch. The scenery along the river was beautiful. The water was clear and clean. Overall, this was a very enjoyable outing!

AMAZING PRIVATE TOUR

HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRIVATE TOUR. Blair is amazing and made our day so special. We did a little research on tours and decided to go with Venture Out and Blair. So glad we did. We were a little concerned about our fitness level and being beginners. Blair made our fears go away. He was a superstar with a wealth of knowledge throughout our journey. I absolutely would recommend doing the private tour. We will be definitely be booking again. Don’t think about it, just book it.

Worth every penny

Blair went out of his way to make this trip easy and enjoyable for all 5 of us. He is a supportive guide and his enthusiasm and joy for the outdoors is contagious. I am not a confident kayaker and he took the time to reassure and help, so that I was able to totally enjoy the experience and keep up with my athletic friends
