About this tour

Take on a full-day Black Canyon Narrows advanced kayak and hike tour, a challenging journey through secluded stretches of the Colorado River. Over eight miles round-trip, paddle beneath towering canyon walls and past hidden desert coves, with an expert guide leading the way.

Along the route, look for ancient petroglyphs, pause for a scenic canyon hike, and enjoy time to swim or relax at a remote beach. Snacks and bottled water help keep you going, while a stable sit-on kayak and a 13-liter dry bag provide practical support on the water. This adventure is best suited to experienced paddlers and travelers with moderate fitness; the provider does not recommend it for guests with certain health concerns.

Meet at Paddle Craft Beach, not the boat ramp, and choose a single or double kayak when booking. Set out for a memorable day of canyon scenery, river paddling, and quiet desert coves on a Black Canyon Narrows advanced kayak and hike tour.

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.
