Rejseplan
Vi er en af de få Outfitters, der er godkendt til at tage dig til bunden af bunden af den ærefrygtindgydende Hoover Dam. Der er begrænset adgangskort, og gæster skal gå gennem en godkendt outfitter som os for at sejle i kajakker fra bunden af Hoover Dam. Vi ser Sauna Cave, Goldstrike Waterfalls, Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs, Arizona Hot Springs, Boyscout Slot Canyon og Emerald Cave.
Kayak fra Hoover Dam til den legendariske Sauna Cave, en 140 fod geotermisk tunnel af damp. Dette naturlige vidunder når interne temperaturer over 140 ° F, skabt af intens geotermisk aktivitet under Jordens overflade. Vi starter med at køre ned ad en meget begrænset vej - normalt kun forbeholdt Hoover Dam-ansatte - takket være vores eksklusive, forhåndsgodkendte adgangskort. Kørslen tager ca. 10 minutter. Derfra lancerer vi vores kajakker direkte ind i Colorado-floden. Vores første stop: en menneskeskabt varm kilde, der ser og føles helt naturligt. (Vi vil forklare den vilde baggrundshistorie personligt!)
Efter at have suget alle giftstoffer ud og hoppet i den hyggelige, forfriskende kølige Colorado River, stopper vi ved To spektakulære geotermiske regnhuler, herunder First Rain Cave, First og Last Emerald Cave og Little Mermaid Rock.
Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs er vores tredje stop. Undervands jacuzzi i Colorado River fører os til et 120-130 graders vandfald, hvor geotermisk vand springer ud af klippens side. Blandingen af varmt vand og lavere flodniveauer kan skabe en perfekt 98-108-graders jacuzzi ved flodbredden.
Goldstrike Hot Springs og Slot Canyon er vores næste stop, hvor vi vandrer op i 95-graders strømmen, til et smukt geotermisk vandfald og Hot Springs med fem lag af varme kilder for at vælge din ønskede varme. Meget let scrambling her. Meget gennemførlig hike. Baseret på varme og vandreture komfort niveau, vi vandre op til toppen af vandfaldet og se en 300 fod horisontal vandfald. Bemærk venligst: Du kan vandre alle disse i løbet af vinteren og foråret, men de er lukket i løbet af sommeren på grund af varmen. Du ville kun have tid til at vandre en hver dag. Vi får at se alle disse med vores bagdør pass fra kajakken Colorado River. + Vi får at køre ned og lancere i kajakker fra bunden af dammen, og se en af de mest, hvis ikke den smukkeste, strækninger af enhver flod i verden.
Hoteller i nærheden af Lone Palm Falls Geothermal Waterfall Du kan vandre alle disse i løbet af vinteren og foråret, men de er lukket i løbet af sommeren på grund af varmen. Du ville kun have tid til at vandre en hver dag. Vi får at se alle disse med vores bagdør pass fra kajakken Colorado River.
Boyscout Canyon: Hele året, den sikreste og nemmeste måde at få adgang til canyonen er gennem floden med en outfitter som os. (Medmindre du har et 350-fods rappelrev liggende rundt og en bil, der er off-road). Dette er vores foretrukne stop, vejr og tid tillader. Det er ikke for de svage i hjertet, men børn i 5-8-klassen kan gøre det op den anden geotermiske vandfald snorklatring og se de 400 fod horisontale regnhulen og vandfald. Vi guider dig og viser dig, hvordan du bruger gearing mod begge sider af slot canyon til at trække dig selv op.
Vi vandrer op fra floden og op ad en stor stige gennem et vandfald for at komme til den verdensberømte Arizona Hot Springs.
Teknisk set padler vi gennem Black Canyon vandspor fra basen af Hoover Dam til Willow Beach, som er i Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Vi vil padle med en dejlig, rolig, og langsom en mph strøm af floden. Vi vil vise dig, hvordan du fanger strømmen, da den kommer ned, undgå eddy strømme. Vi vil se 6 huler i alt, 11 geotermiske vandfald, 4-6 varme kilder, og stopper også ved nogle af de smukkeste strande og emerald huler med krystalklart, næsten glødende vand, der guider vores vej.
Vi forlader her ved snavsbådslanceringen af Willow Beach. Vi kan enten hente dig der (hvis du er en morgenperson), så du kan hoppe ind i din bil og gå, når vi afslutter vores tur, eller vi kan tage dig tilbage til din bil på Hoover Dam Lodge (hvis du ikke er en morgenperson )
Vi kommer forbi Emerald Cave på vej tilbage til Willow Beach. Belysningen vil være god juli-september, men vi kan gå indenfor året rundt.

This was an absolutely beautiful paddle. Gino was an amazing guide. He helped both of us through some slippery areas and took a huge amount of beautiful pictures. I'll be telling my friends to ask for Gino when they're ready to paddle. I'll ask for him again when we come back for more. Thanks Gino!
We had an absolutely fantastic time on this Hoover Dam kayak tour! Launching right below the dam was such a unique experience and something you can’t do just anywhere. The scenery along the Colorado River was breathtaking, and the vibrant emerald-green color of the water was even more beautiful in person than we expected. The trip was packed with interesting stops, from hot springs tucked into canyons to waterfalls and caves that felt like hidden gems. Every stop offered something different and made the day feel like a true adventure. A big part of what made the experience so enjoyable was our guide, Gino. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the group engaged throughout the trip. He shared interesting information about the area, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere. This was one of the most memorable outdoor experiences we’ve had. Between the incredible scenery, unique access to areas only reachable by kayak, and Gino’s excellent guiding, this trip exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable way to experience the Colorado River and Hoover Dam!

This amazing day of kayaking starts at Hoover Dam and continues 12 miles to Willow Beach. Along the way, you make multiple stops to enjoy hot springs, coves, and the beauty of the Colorado River and canyon walls. The clear green water is indescribable. Ask for Gino!
Six of us had a fabulous experience on this kayak tour of the Colorado River. Highly recommend you do this with Gino. The scenery is unforgettable and the mix of activities along the way is a perfect blend: paddling, hiking, hot springs, and access to places many will never experience. My favorite part of the day was seeing the beauty of the area. You won’t regret this adventure. Ask for Gino!
Had an awesome time on the Hoover Dam Tour with Luke as our guide. It was a very long day fighting the wind even though we were going down stream, but Luke had us in great spirits and kept showing cool new things on the tour. All the hot springs, history, local facts, and animals we saw made the day. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
This was one of the best days we’ve ever experienced traveling, and we travel a lot! Our guide Shawn was absolutely the best. He took hundreds of photos for us so we could enjoy. He adapted the day and modified plans to our wants and was so friendly. I cannot say enough kind things about how his personality, demeanor and adventurous spirit and helpfulness made the day so unbelievable. Everything was thought out and prepared. I felt safe the entire time. I will be recommending this trip to my friends and will hopefully be back with our teenage kids and I want to do the exact same thing again.
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 with tour guide: Shawn My boyfriend and I had an incredible time and 100% recommend this trip! Kayaking 12 miles down the Colorado River in the Black Canyon was such a one of a kind adventure. So breath-taking and stunning! Shawn (& our driver, Luke) with Adventure Child were great! We had some technicalities at the beginning but they were so accommodating and able to troubleshoot, resolving the issue. Shawn definitely has you in his best interest as he also provided subway sandwiches, some snacks, and tons of water. He also had a dry bag of warm clothes as we didn’t think it would only be a high of 72° and windy that day. Luke let us borrow his warm fuzzy jacket as well. Shawn is very chill, laid back and go with the flow, yet very knowledgeable and passionate. On our 8 1/2 hour trip, he showed us many hidden hot springs, caves, and waterfalls. He also shared some history throughout the tour. Without a doubt, you wouldn’t be able to find these gems without the help of Shawn. He’s also an amazing photographer as he took hundreds of action shots and photos of my boyfriend and me. He shares them with you via text or WhatsAp at the end of the trip. While this trip was absolutely incredible & I would recommend to anyone, I will say that it can be rather challenging and strenuous. Kayaking 12 miles isn’t easy. Also, the minimal hiking to hot springs requires climbing up and down slippery rocks. My boyfriend and I are in our 30s and relatively fit, but still got a good workout in and felt sore afterwards. Shawn is so accommodating and will set the trip to match your needs and physical abilities, but you may miss some hidden gems. Regardless, taking in the amazing views of the palm trees and canyon walls was phenomenal! We did see many different kinds of ducks, a mountain goat, and a rattlesnake. All in all, I strongly recommend this trip if you love nature and adventure. Request Shawn as your guide!
What a great day we had. The weather was excellent and the guide AKA Shawn, was incredibly knowledgeable and what a great personality, the guy should do stand up.. he made the whole trip worthwhile. He thought he was gonna have a bad day because my girlfriend never kayaked before but with his expertise and her skills she was like a pro within a half hour. She paddled eleven miles out of twelve . A beautiful memory and incredible scenery.. Thank you Shawn.. God Bless. We'll be back....
Horrible, horrible, horrible company. If you’re considering doing this experience, can you please go with other small businesses who have actual empathy. This is obviously not a cheap excursion, which I planned for in advance. The night before I ended up getting food poisoning and was up throwing up all night. I contacted the company as soon as I could (5am) to inform them of this emergency and that I was not going to be able to make it to which I was told by the male worker that I would receive a refund. Then I received a text from an extremely rude woman saying a refund was not possible. I tried to reason with her and tell her this was a huge part of my trip and we were very excited and obviously I had no intention of canceling and that because I live states away, it was not possible for me to reschedule. This was my one day to do this and then unfortunate emergency happened. I have worked with/in enough customer service to know that she could have refunded me, but she chose to just be greedy. I cannot control an emergency happening, but one thing I cannot stand this poor customer service and greedy humans, especially in today’s society, we truly need more people with empathy. I had to reach out to my credit card company and explain an emergency and make a dispute with them due to this company’s greed. Please do not support them. Horrible customer service and I’m sure they’re much better companies to go with.
Hi Erika, we are sorry to hear you were unwell, but we must clarify the timeline for the record. You mentioned being ill 'all night' and having a multi-hour drive from out of state, yet you waited until 5:00 AM—just two hours before the tour—to notify us. By 5:00 AM, our team was already at the staging area with your equipment prepared. Our commitment to guest experience and 'above and beyond' service is reflected in our many 5-star reviews; this is the first 1-star review for this specific experience. Our 24-hour policy exists exactly for this reason: we cannot fill spots or recoup costs for staff already on-site with such short notice. We have provided all time-stamped communication to the merchant bank regarding your dispute.
