Explore Black Canyon and Colorado River on self guided kayak
Paddle through hidden coves and scenic canyon beaches
Discover the iconic Emerald Cave with emerald green waters
Observe wildlife including bighorn sheep and bald eagles
Explore the stunning Black Canyon and the Colorado River at your own pace on this self guided kayak adventure. Begin your journey by picking up your kayak and gear at Willow Beach, then paddle upriver through hidden coves, canyon beaches, and the iconic Emerald Cave. Towering canyon walls over 800 feet tall create a dramatic backdrop, while the emerald green waters provide a striking contrast to the rugged terrain. Along the way, keep an eye on the shoreline for wildlife including bighorn sheep and bald eagles, adding a touch of natural wonder to the scenic route.
The two mile paddle to Emerald Cave offers breathtaking views and a sense of immersion in the canyon’s beauty. This tour includes kayak and gear rental only, with all equipment required to be returned by 3pm. Participants are responsible for additional charges in case of late returns or damage to the kayaks. Travelers are advised to bring plenty of water and food, as summertime temperatures can exceed 115 degrees Fahrenheit. This self guided experience combines adventure, exploration, and the raw beauty of the Colorado River, offering an unforgettable day on the water.
