Health Benefits of Hot Springs

💦 Soak It All In: Why Hot Springs Are the Ultimate Natural Wellness Retreat

Looking to relax, recharge, and soak away stress in a way that’s totally Vegas — but without the crowds and cocktails? Say hello to your new favorite way to unwind: hot springs.

At Evolution Expeditions, we don’t just offer epic kayaking adventures — we also take you to some of the Southwest’s most beautiful and healing natural hot springs. And the best part? You’ll get there by kayak (not a grueling desert hike)!

Let’s dive into the steamy details on why hot springs are amazing for the body and soul — and how you can experience them with us on our Kayak Hoover Dam Tour.

🧖‍♀️ The Benefits of Hot Springs — Naturally Awesome

Hot springs aren’t just about soaking in warm water (though let’s be honest, that’s pretty great too). These mineral-rich waters are like nature’s spa — packed with health benefits that leave you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Here’s what a good soak can do:

✅ Relieve Stress & Boost Mood – Warm water helps calm your nervous system, easing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Add in the peaceful sounds of nature? Pure bliss.
✅ Soothe Muscles & Joints – The heat helps increase circulation and reduce inflammation, which is especially helpful after a long flight or a week on your feet exploring Vegas.
✅ Detox Naturally – The minerals found in hot springs — like magnesium, sulfur, and calcium — help flush toxins, improve skin health, and support your body’s natural balance.
✅ Sleep Better – Soaking in a hot spring before bedtime has been shown to help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. It’s like a reset button for your body and mind.

🛶 Hot Springs + Kayaking = The Ultimate Adventure

Our Kayak Hoover Dam Tour is a full-day experience that blends high-energy paddling with peaceful hot spring soaking — the best of both worlds.

After launching just below the legendary Hoover Dam, you’ll paddle through the stunning Black Canyon and have the chance of visiting two iconic hot spring locations:

🌡️ Arizona Hot Springs

Tucked in a dramatic slot canyon, this hidden gem features a series of thermal pools nestled between smooth rock walls. It’s a bucket-list-worthy spot, and getting there by kayak means you skip the grueling hike (which, in the summer, is downright dangerous due to extreme heat).

🌡️ Goldstrike Hot Springs

Another desert oasis, Goldstrike offers a more rugged, adventurous soak — but with the luxury of arriving by river instead of trekking through a rocky canyon. Fewer crowds, more soaking time, and way less sweat.

🙌 Why Paddle Instead of Hike?

In the summer, hiking down to these springs can be intense, even hazardous. Temperatures soar, trails get crowded, and it’s not uncommon for hikers to underestimate the physical toll. But with Evolution Expeditions, you get the scenic, safe, and totally refreshing option:

🚣‍♀️ Arrive by kayak
🧭 Guided by experts
💧 Stay cool on the river
🔥 Soak stress-free in a natural hot tub

🌞 Vegas Vibes, Nature Style

After soaking in the hot springs, you’ll continue paddling through the serene beauty of the Black Canyon, spotting bighorn sheep, waterfalls, and other jaw-dropping desert sights along the way. It’s a side of Vegas most people never see — and one you’ll never forget.

🚐 Shuttle Pick-Up from the Strip? We’ve Got You.

Yes — we make it easy to get to the water. Our team offers roundtrip shuttle service from most major Las Vegas hotels, so you can relax from start to finish.
