Forget the neon lights for a morning and discover a different side of Las Vegas: glassy water, towering canyon walls and a cave that glows emerald green. The Emerald Cave Kayak Experience takes you on a guided paddle along the Colorado River through Black Canyon, all the way to the famous Emerald Cave.
This is one of the original guided kayak tours on this stretch of the river, backed by more than 20 years of exploring Black Canyon. You’ll launch from Willow Beach and paddle past dramatic desert scenery, historic sites and wildlife spotting spots along the way — not just a quick out-and-back to the cave. Expert guides, premium touring kayaks and personalized instruction make it comfortable for first-timers and seasoned paddlers alike.
Logistics couldn’t be easier: an optional shuttle from Las Vegas is available, and the relaxed pace means you can truly soak in the canyon’s beauty. With a 4.9-star rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it’s one of the best-loved outdoor adventures near the Strip. Prices start at $109.99 per person.
