Itinerary
As you exit highway 95 you will encounter a national park entrance where you pay the entrance fee unless you have an "America the beautiful National Park Pass" then you can use that to enter the park.
Kayak Beach is the paddle craft launch area where we meet, go over a safety briefing and where the kayak tour starts!
Experience stunning Grand Canyon views and quiet tranquility as you watch the Colorado River wind through the rugged red rock walls.
This is where we stop for snacks and a short walk to see historical locations with incredible views.
This is also where the tour ends and we bid you a fair well!
We enter the Emerald Cave, get a break from the sun, take pictures and talk about the formation of the cave.

The trip was amazing. Our guide Eddie was great. He was very attentive to us and shared a lot of history of the area. He took lots of pictures and shared them with us. It was also great to have a small group to paddle with.
We had a fabulous time with Robert, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on all of us even when we scattered! A beautiful spot and we feel Robert gave us the best descriptions and history and info along the way. Would recommend 10 out of 10
What a fabulous time we had! Our guide Robert was so knowledgeable without sounding like a nerd! He had all kinds of fun info to share. I was a beginner while the others with me were not. He didn’t make me feel like it! Very encouraging and kept a watchful eye on us all! Would do it again and again amps with Robert
Incredibly fun, especially on a hot day. Robert was an amazing host. He was informative, nice and had a great attitude despite how crowded it was.
Eddie was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Lots of great info on native plants and the Hoover dam and area. Our family had a fantastic time. Definitely book with Las Vegas Exclusive Kayak Tours
It was amazing!! A great experience. I would definitely love to do it again and bring more family and friends.
Eddie was very good guide! The experience was something that we want to bring our entire family back to share!
What a fantastic way to spend a day. We did the morning tour with Robert. There were 4 Kayaks total. Robert was very attentive to everyone in the group. I would highly recommend this tour. Even though the temperature was 100 outside, the Colorado River temperature was 50 degrees. The coolness of the water temperature made it very comfortable and refreshing. Our tour was from 9am-1pm. Robert was the best. I highly recommend!
The guide,Doug, was very knowledgeable and personable. He took some very good pictures for us. We really enjoyed the experience. The distance was good. As first time kayakers Doug was very patient
Eddie was AWESOME!!! Very knowledgeable with beginners and about the area. Took pictures of our experience. Would definitely recommend a trip with him.
