Kayak Hoover Dam & Hot Springs Hike - Self Drive

Kayak from the base of the mighty Hoover Dam on an adventure that combines history, nature, and thrilling activity. This guided tour begins with a descent along the original road carved into the canyon walls, providing a unique perspective of the massive 1930s engineering project. Paddlers navigate twelve miles down the Colorado River through the scenic Black Canyon, taking in geological formations, historical water gauging sites, and the beauty of emerald waters. Along the route, participants can enjoy refreshing swims, soak in geothermal hot spring pools hidden in side canyons, and relax in the sauna cave, all while spotting wildlife such as desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, falcons, bald eagles, and migratory waterfowl.

The experience is designed to accommodate both beginners up for a challenge and more advanced paddlers seeking adventure. Knowledgeable guides provide historical insights into the construction of the Hoover Dam, the new Bypass Bridge, and the Black Canyon region. All necessary permits for access to the restricted launch site are included, and advance booking is recommended due to limited availability. Participants are provided with a catered lunch, bottled water, juice, and snacks, ensuring comfort throughout the seven hour tour. Physical fitness is required for the active paddle, and government issued identification must be presented for security access, making this a fully organized, safe, and unforgettable kayaking experience.
