Itinéraire
Nous sommes l'un des rares pourvoyeurs agréés pour vous emmener à la base de la base de l'impressionnant barrage Hoover. Il existe des laissez-passer restreints et les clients doivent passer par un pourvoyeur agréé comme nous pour lancer des kayaks depuis la base du barrage Hoover. Nous voyons Sauna Cave, Goldstrike Waterfalls, Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs, Arizona Hot Springs, Boyscout Slot Canyon et Emerald Cave.
Kayak de Hoover Dam à la légendaire grotte Sauna, un tunnel géothermique de 140 pieds de vapeur. Cette merveille naturelle atteint des températures internes de plus de 140°F, créées par une intense activité géothermique sous la surface de la Terre. Nous commençons par emprunter une route très restreinte – normalement réservée uniquement aux employés de Hoover Dam – grâce à nos laissez-passer d’accès exclusifs et préapprouvés. Le trajet dure environ 10 minutes. De là, nous lançons nos kayaks directement dans le fleuve Colorado. Notre premier arrêt: une source chaude artificielle qui semble et se sent complètement naturel. (Nous vous expliquerons l’histoire sauvage en personne!)
Après avoir trempé toutes les toxines et sauté dans la belle rivière fraîche du Colorado, nous nous arrêtons à Two Spectacular Geothermal Rain Caves, y compris First Rain Cave, First and Last Emerald Cave, et Little Mermaid Rock.
Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs est notre troisième arrêt. Le jacuzzi sous-marin dans le fleuve Colorado nous mène à une cascade de 120 à 130 degrés où l'eau géothermique crache du flanc de la falaise. Le mélange d'eau chaude et de niveaux inférieurs de la rivière peut créer un jacuzzi parfait de 98 à 108 degrés sur la rive.
Goldstrike Hot Springs et Slot Canyon est notre prochaine étape, où nous remontons la fente 95 degrés ruisseau, à une belle cascade géothermique et Hot Springs avec cinq couches de sources chaudes pour choisir votre chaleur désirée. Brouillage très léger ici. Randonnée très faisable. Basé sur la chaleur et le niveau de confort de randonnée, nous randonnons jusqu'au sommet de la cascade et voyons une cascade horizontale de 300 pieds. Veuillez noter: Vous pouvez tous les randonner en hiver et au printemps, mais ils sont fermés en été en raison de la chaleur. Tu n'aurais le temps d'en faire qu'une par jour. Nous avons l'occasion de voir tout cela avec notre passe détournée de kayak sur le fleuve Colorado. + Nous arrivons à descendre en voiture et à lancer en kayak depuis la base du barrage, et voir l'un des tronçons les plus beaux, sinon le plus beau, de tous les fleuves du monde.
Cascade géothermique de Lone Palm Falls. Vous pouvez tous les randonner en hiver et au printemps, mais ils sont fermés en été en raison de la chaleur. Tu n'aurais le temps d'en faire qu'une par jour. Nous avons l'occasion de voir tout cela avec notre passe détournée de kayak sur le fleuve Colorado.
Boyscout Canyon: Toute l'année, la façon la plus sécuritaire et la plus facile d'accéder au canyon est de passer par la rivière avec une pourvoirie comme nous. (Sauf si vous avez une corde de rappel de 350 pieds qui traîne et une voiture qui sort de la route). C'est notre étape préférée, si la météo et le temps le permettent. Ce n'est pas pour les âmes sensibles, mais les enfants de la 5e à la 8e année peuvent faire la deuxième montée de corde de cascade géothermique et voir la grotte de pluie horizontale de 400 pieds et la cascade. Nous vous guidons et vous montrons comment utiliser l'effet de levier contre les deux côtés du canyon à sous pour vous remonter.
Nous montons de la rivière et montons une grande échelle à travers une cascade pour nous rendre aux célèbres sources chaudes de l'Arizona.
Techniquement, nous pagayons dans le sentier aquatique du Black Canyon, de la base du barrage Hoover à Willow Beach, qui se trouve dans la zone récréative nationale de Lake Mead. Nous pagaierons avec un courant agréable, calme et lent d'un mph de la rivière. Nous vous montrerons comment capter le courant au fur et à mesure de sa descente, en évitant les courants de Foucault. Nous verrons 6 grottes au total, 11 cascades géothermiques, 4 à 6 sources chaudes, et nous nous arrêterons également à certaines des plus belles plages et grottes d'émeraude avec une eau cristalline, presque rougeoyante guidant notre chemin.
Nous sortons ici à la rampe de mise à l'eau de Willow Beach. Nous pouvons soit venir vous chercher là-bas (si vous êtes du matin) afin que vous puissiez monter dans votre voiture et partir à la fin de notre voyage, soit nous pouvons vous ramener à votre voiture au Hoover Dam Lodge (si vous n'êtes pas du matin). )
Nous passerons par la grotte d'émeraude sur le chemin du retour vers Willow Beach. L'éclairage sera bon de juillet à septembre, mais nous pouvons entrer à l'intérieur toute l'année.

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.
