Paddle the Colorado River from Hoover Dam, explore hot springs and slot canyons, and camp beneath the stars on a two-day adventure.

About this tour

Paddle from the base of Hoover Dam into a quieter stretch of the Colorado River, where slot canyons, hot springs, and a night under the stars make this two-day escape feel far removed from the city. This Hoover Dam kayaking and camping tour includes meals and the gear you need for the journey.

Follow the river through dramatic canyon scenery, taking time to explore hidden hot springs and a waterfall. The route ends at Emerald Cave and Willow Beach, Arizona. Choose from single kayaks, beginner-friendly double Old Town Loons, other kayak styles, or arrange a canoe for an additional cost. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast are provided, along with life jackets and paddles.

You can meet at Hoover Dam Lodge for optional round-trip transportation, with details arranged after booking. From June through September, the provider may substitute a full-day trip when overnight temperatures are forecast to stay above 75°F. Book this Hoover Dam kayaking and camping tour for a memorable river journey, canyon exploration, and a night outdoors.

How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • 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: this tour scores 7.7. Top 23% in Las Vegas means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Las Vegas by this score.
