Itinerary
-
Discover the peaceful solitude and grandeur of the Colorado River on this special twilight kayak expedition.
Paddle out in the early evening (while still daylight) to explore the incredible Black Canyon against the backdrop of sunset and the starry night sky.
Enjoy hassle-free shuttle service from your hotel (12 different pick-up spots on the strip) to your launch point, the serene Willow Beach.
With the evening sun sinking lower into the sky, steer your kayak upriver and into the twisting channels of Black Canyon. You have plenty of light to take in the views of majestic cliffs, hardy desert foliage, and perhaps even bighorn sheep perched on the craggy rocks.
At sunset, your guide will navigate you to shore to watch the sky streak with pink and orange. A crackling fire keeps you cozy, and you can grab a toasting stick for a delicious, crispy snack of roasted marshmallows (S'mores) and hot dogs.
After enjoying the fire, you will kayak back downstream under the stars. The stars begin to sparkle, and quiet descends upon the river, a blissfully serene setting for your return journey.
Meeting point
If you do not wish to take the shuttle you can meet directly at the river (Willow Beach). You are required to pay the National Park fee of $25 per vehicle if you do not have a National Park Pass.
