Reiseverlauf
Wir sind einer der wenigen Ausrüster, die zugelassen sind, Sie zum Fuß des Fußes des beeindruckenden Hoover-Staudamms zu bringen. Es gibt eingeschränkte Pässe und Gäste müssen sich an einen zugelassenen Ausstatter wie uns wenden, um Kajaks vom Fuß des Hoover-Staudamms aus zu starten. Wir sehen Sauna Cave, Goldstrike Waterfalls, Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs, Arizona Hot Springs, Boyscout Slot Canyon und die Emerald Cave.
Kajak vom Hoover Dam zur legendären Saunahöhle, einem 140 Meter langen Erdwärmetunnel aus Dampf. Dieses Naturwunder erreicht Innentemperaturen von über 140°F, die durch intensive geothermische Aktivität unter der Erdoberfläche entstehen. Wir beginnen mit einer stark eingeschränkten Straße – normalerweise nur Mitarbeitern des Hoover Dam vorbehalten – dank unserer exklusiven, vorab genehmigten Zugangskarten. Die Fahrt dauert etwa 10 Minuten. Von dort starten wir mit unseren Kajaks direkt in den Colorado River. Unser erster Halt: eine künstliche heiße Quelle, die ganz natürlich aussieht und sich anfühlt. (Wir erklären Ihnen die wilde Hintergrundgeschichte persönlich!)
Nachdem wir alle Giftstoffe ausgesogen und in den schönen, erfrischend kühlen Colorado River gesprungen sind, halten wir an zwei spektakulären geothermischen Regenhöhlen an, darunter die First Rain Cave, die First and Last Emerald Cave und der Little Mermaid Rock.
Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs ist unser dritter Halt. Der Unterwasser-Whirlpool im Colorado River führt uns zu einem 120-130 Grad heißen Wasserfall, an dem geothermales Wasser aus der Seite der Klippe sprudelt. Die Mischung aus heißem Wasser und niedrigeren Flusspegeln kann einen perfekten 98- bis 108-Grad-Whirlpool am Flussufer schaffen.
Goldstrike Hot Springs und Slot Canyon ist unser nächster Halt, wo wir den Slot 95 Grad Bach hinaufwandern, zu einem schönen geothermischen Wasserfall und Hot Springs mit fünf Schichten von Hot Springs, um Ihre gewünschte Hitze zu wählen. Sehr leichtes Gerangel. Sehr machbare Wanderung. Je nach Wärme- und Wanderkomfort wandern wir auf den Gipfel des Wasserfalls und sehen einen 300 Meter langen horizontalen Wasserfall. Bitte beachten Sie: Im Winter und Frühling können Sie alle wandern, aber im Sommer sind sie wegen der Hitze geschlossen. Sie hätten nur Zeit, jeden Tag eine zu wandern. All das können wir mit unserem Backdoor-Pass vom Kajakfahren auf dem Colorado River sehen. + Wir fahren mit dem Kajak von der Basis des Staudamms hinunter und starten und sehen einen der schönsten, wenn nicht sogar schönsten Abschnitte eines Flusses der Welt.
Lone Palm Falls Geothermal Waterfall. Im Winter und Frühling können Sie alle wandern, aber im Sommer sind sie wegen der Hitze geschlossen. Sie hätten nur Zeit, jeden Tag eine zu wandern. All das können wir mit unserem Backdoor-Pass vom Kajakfahren auf dem Colorado River sehen.
Pfadfinder Canyon: Der sicherste und einfachste Zugang zum Canyon ist das ganze Jahr über mit einem Ausrüster wie uns über den Fluss. (Es sei denn, Sie haben ein 350-Fuß-Abseilseilseil herumliegen und ein Auto, das im Gelände ist). Dies ist unser liebster Halt, Wetter und Zeit erlauben es. Es ist nichts für schwache Nerven, aber Kinder in der 5.-8. Klasse können es bis zum zweiten Geothermie-Wasserfallseilklettern schaffen und die 400 Meter lange horizontale Regenhöhle und den Wasserfall sehen. Wir führen Sie und zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie Hebel gegen beide Seiten der Schlitzschlucht einsetzen können, um sich hochzuziehen.
Wir wandern vom Fluss hinauf und über eine große Leiter durch einen Wasserfall zu den weltberühmten Arizona Hot Springs.
Technisch gesehen paddeln wir durch den Black Canyon Wasserweg von der Basis des Hoover Dam bis zum Willow Beach, der im Lake Mead National Recreation Area liegt. Wir werden mit einer schönen, ruhigen und langsamen Strömung des Flusses paddeln. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie die Strömung beim Herunterfahren auffangen und Wirbelströme vermeiden können. Wir werden insgesamt 6 Höhlen, 11 Geothermalwasserfälle, 4-6 heiße Quellen sehen und auch an einigen der schönsten Strände und smaragdgrünen Höhlen mit kristallklarem, fast glühendem Wasser halten, das unseren Weg leitet.
Wir steigen hier am Dirt Boat Launch von Willow Beach aus. Wir können Sie entweder dort abholen (wenn Sie ein Morgenmensch sind), damit Sie in Ihr Auto steigen und losfahren können, wenn wir unsere Reise beenden, oder wir können Sie zurück zu Ihrem Auto in der Hoover Dam Lodge bringen (wenn Sie kein Morgenmensch sind). )
Auf dem Rückweg nach Willow Beach kommen wir an der Emerald Cave vorbei. Die Beleuchtung wird von Juli bis September gut sein, aber wir können das ganze Jahr über hineingehen.

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.
