Paddle beneath the stars through Black Canyon in a glowing kayak, then glide into Emerald Cave on this 180-minute night adventure.

About this tour

Paddle into the night on a Black Canyon glow kayak tour, where illuminated water, towering canyon walls, and a starry sky set the scene. This 180-minute adventure leads along the Colorado River to Emerald Cave, a hidden grotto accessible only by water.

Choose a single or tandem kayak and follow your guide from the kayak beach boat launch at Willow Beach Marina. As you move through Black Canyon after dark, the canyon’s dramatic walls rise around you and the water takes on an otherworldly glow. The route ends at Emerald Cave, where you can take in the grotto’s distinctive atmosphere before paddling back beneath the open sky. Evening conditions offer a different perspective on the canyon than a daytime visit.

Meet your guide at Willow Beach Marina, then set out to experience the river after dark. Book your Black Canyon glow kayak tour for a memorable paddle to Emerald Cave.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
