Itinerary and highlights

Kayak Beach is the paddle craft launch area where we meet, go over a safety briefing and where the kayak tour starts!

Experience stunning Grand Canyon views and quiet tranquility as you watch the Colorado River wind through the rugged red rock walls.

This is where we stop for snacks and a short walk to see historical locations with incredible views.

We enter the Emerald Cave, get a break from the sun, take pictures and talk about the formation of the cave.
