Paddle into the dramatic Black Canyon on the Colorado River and reach the beautiful green waters of Emerald Cave on this self-guided kayak and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rental. Your day starts at Willow Beach, Arizona, where you collect a single kayak, a double kayak or a SUP board, together with a paddle and a life jacket. Before you head onto the water, the team gives you basic instructions on kayaking or using the SUP, water safety guidance and information about the surrounding area. Then make your way upstream at your own pace, watching for desert wildlife along the canyon walls and stopping at a historical overlook for awe-inspiring views of the legendary Colorado River, before arriving at Emerald Cave. Allow around 4 to 4.5 hours on the water: rentals are collected between 09:00 and 09:30 and must be returned by 14:30. Choose the option with round-trip transportation from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, or make your own way to Willow Beach and meet the team at the beach. With no guide on board, this rental suits travellers who want freedom on the river after a short safety briefing.
