Resplan
Vi är en av få Outfitters som är godkända för att ta dig till basen av basen av den imponerande Hoover Dam. Det finns begränsade pass och gäster måste gå igenom en godkänd outfitter som oss för att sjösätta i kajaker från basen av Hoover Dam. Vi ser Sauna Cave, Goldstrike Waterfalls, Melt Your Shoes Hot Springs, Arizona Hot Springs, Boyscout Slot Canyon och Emerald Cave.
Kajak från Hooverdammen till den legendariska Bastugrottan, en 14 meter lång geotermisk tunnel av ånga. Detta naturliga underverk når inre temperaturer över 140 ° F, som skapas av intensiv geotermisk aktivitet under jordytan. Vi börjar med att köra längs en mycket begränsad väg – normalt endast för Hoover Dam-anställda – tack vare våra exklusiva, förgodkända passerkort. Bilresan tar ca 10 minuter. Därifrån sjösätter vi våra kajaker direkt i Coloradofloden. Vårt första stopp: en konstgjord varm källa som ser ut och känns helt naturlig. (Vi förklarar den vilda bakgrunden personligen!)
Efter att ha sugit ut alla gifter och hoppat i den trevliga, uppfriskande svala Coloradofloden stannar vi till vid Two Spectacular Geothermal Rain Caves, inklusive First Rain Cave, First and Last Emerald Cave och Little Mermaid Rock.
Smält dina skor Hot Springs är vårt tredje stopp. Undervattensjacuzzin i Coloradofloden leder oss till ett 120-130 graders vattenfall där geotermiskt vatten sprutar ut från sidan av klippan. Blandningen av varmt vatten och lägre flodnivåer kan skapa en perfekt 98 till 108 graders jacuzzi vid flodstranden.
Goldstrike Hot Springs och Slot Canyon är vårt nästa stopp, där vi vandrar uppför spåret 95 graders ström, till ett vackert geotermiskt vattenfall och Hot Springs med fem lager av Hot Springs för att välja önskad värme. Väldigt lättrörligt här. Mycket genomförbar vandring. Baserat på värme- och vandringskomfortnivå vandrar vi upp till toppen av vattenfallet och ser ett 300 fot horisontellt vattenfall. Observera: Du kan vandra alla dessa under vintern och våren, men de är stängda under sommaren på grund av värmen. Man hinner bara vandra en om dagen. Vi får se alla dessa med vårt bakdörrspass från kajakpaddlingen i Coloradofloden. + Vi får köra ner och sjösätta i kajaker från basen av dammen, och se en av de vackraste, om inte Den vackraste, sträckorna av någon flod i världen.
Lone Palm Falls geotermiska vattenfall. Du kan vandra alla dessa under vintern och våren, men de är stängda under sommaren på grund av värmen. Man hinner bara vandra en om dagen. Vi får se alla dessa med vårt bakdörrspass från kajakpaddlingen i Coloradofloden.
Boyscout Canyon: Året runt, det säkraste och enklaste sättet att komma åt ravinen är genom floden med en outfitter som oss. (Om du inte har ett 350-fots rappellingrep liggandes och en bil som off-road). Detta är vår favorit stopp, väder och tid tillåter. Det är inte för de svaga, men barn i 5:e-8:e klass kan ta sig uppför det andra geotermiska vattenfallsrepet och se den 400 meter höga horisontella regngrottan och vattenfallet. Vi guidar dig och visar dig hur du använder hävstångseffekten mot båda sidor av slotkanjonen för att dra dig upp.
Vi vandrar upp från floden och uppför en stor stege genom ett vattenfall för att komma till den världsberömda Arizona Hot Springs.
Tekniskt sett paddlar vi genom Black Canyons vattenled från basen av Hooverdammen till Willow Beach, som ligger i Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Vi kommer att paddla med en trevlig, lugn och långsam en mph ström av floden. Vi kommer att visa dig hur du fångar strömmen när den kommer ner, undvika virvelströmmar. Vi kommer att se 6 grottor totalt, 11 geotermiska vattenfall, 4-6 varma källor, och även stanna vid några av de vackraste stränderna och smaragd grottor med kristallklart, nästan glödande vatten som vägleder vår väg.
Vi lämnar här vid sjösättningen av smutsbåten på Willow Beach. Vi kan antingen hämta dig där (om du är en morgonperson) så att du kan hoppa i din bil och åka när vi avslutar vår resa, eller så kan vi ta dig tillbaka till din bil på Hoover Dam Lodge (om du inte är en morgonperson )
Vi passerar Emerald Cave på väg tillbaka till Willow Beach. Belysningen kommer att vara bra juli-september men vi kan gå inne året runt.

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.
