Two iconic experiences in one unforgettable day beyond the Las Vegas Strip.
This is currently the only tour in the Las Vegas market that combines a Hoover Dam visit with a guided Emerald Cave kayak tour in a single outing. Start with a scenic Hoover Dam visit and a walk across the Memorial Bridge, then paddle the emerald-green waters of the Colorado River through Black Canyon — with round-trip Las Vegas Strip transportation and everything else arranged for you.
Kayak Emerald Cave Deluxe Shuttle + Hoover Dam Combo — from $235 per person, 4 hours on the water, includes a catered lunch on a historic beach, a designated swim stop, and two land stops.
Kayak Emerald Cave Express Shuttle + Hoover Dam Combo — from $195 per person, 3 hours on the water, includes one land stop (no lunch).
Thanks to our weekday specials, both combos are $10 less per person when booked for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday tour date — $235 (Deluxe) / $195 (Express) on those days, and $245 / $205 on any other day.
Plan for about six to seven hours total from Las Vegas, including transportation, the Hoover Dam walk, and time on the river.
Start at Hoover Dam, then make your way to the river for a guided Emerald Cave paddle with everything arranged for you.
Designated pickups are scheduled between 8:00 and 8:20 AM.
The full experience includes transportation, the dam visit, and the kayak tour.
Transportation, premium equipment, certified guides, and lunch with the Deluxe Combo.
The Colorado River stays a cool 53–55°F year-round. Bring a swimsuit and be ready for designated swim time on the Deluxe Combo — rain or shine, the water is always ready.
