Our most
popular trip Experience! This exciting and educational day on the river is the best
option for those who want to get the most for their money. All that is required of
you is that you show up with a smile and ready to have some fun! This section of the
Colorado is moving flat water, it is not a whitewater trip. It is perfect for first
timers or seasoned paddlers. Our entertaining and experienced guides will make certain
you don't miss a thing!
Your day will begin as you meet your guide and prepare for the thrilling ride down
the Lower Portal Road – the only road to the base of Hoover Dam. As you drop
1100 feet in elevation, the mighty face of the dam presents itself. Here you will
unload boats and equipment for your journey through Black Canyon. After a short safety
briefing along with some basic paddling instruction, you’ll be on your way.
Your first stop will be
Sauna Cave; an exploratory cave dug by the Bureau of Reclamation before they built
the Hoover Dam. Check out the minerals in the back, or perhaps sweat out the pitcher
of margaritas you drank last night.
Throughout the day your expert guide will stop and show you unique and hidden places
such as Gold Strike Canyon, Lone Palm Canyon, Emerald Cave and many other treats.
Your guide will inform you of the historical significance of many river features and
about the wildlife that inhabits the area. Some creatures you may see are Big Horn
Sheep, Bald Eagles, Coyotes, Red Tail Hawks, Turkey Vultures, and more.
The
most popular attraction along the river is not your guide, but the natural hot springs
and hot waterfalls that are hidden within slot canyons. Be sure to wear a bathing
suit or something to wear while sitting in the mineral tubs. They contain many natural
minerals, and the healing properties are well documented. This is the same thing you
pay big bucks for in the Las Vegas spas. Here, in Black Canyon, you get your own natural
hot spring – absolutely free! You will have ample time to enjoy a relaxing soak
while on your scenic journey!
Your day will also include a nice picnic lunch on a secluded beach or rock that will
provide you with million dollar views and great company. This entire experience is
one that will leave you wanting more and more. It is one of the most striking yet
peaceful places on Earth, and to think it is only 30 minutes from Las Vegas! Your
trip ends at Willow Beach, Arizona where an air conditioned shuttle vehicle will meet
you to take you back to your hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
