About This Adventure
Embark on an unforgettable kayaking adventure from Hoover Dam or Willow Beach Marina, exploring stunning sites like Arizona Hot Springs and Goldstrike Hot Springs. Camp at a scenic spot tailored to your group's needs, while enjoying delicious meals and optional team-building activities. Experience nature's beauty and create lasting memories together.
We will launch in kayaks from the base of the Hoover Dam or we can take a later trip paddling up river from Willow Beach Marina. We will camp at Arizona Hot Springs or White Rock Canyon. We will choose the best camping spot for your group's needs based on our years of experience and ability to judge the height of the river current, other campers, and availability. We will see the world-famous Arizona Hot Springs, Infinity Hot Springs, Sauna Cave, Boyscout Canyon, and Goldstrike Hot Springs on our way to the camp spot.
We also offer leadership and team-building activities upon request.
We will provide pre-packaged breakfast, lunch and dinner along with bottled water for the duration of your trip. Vegan options available. Please let us know beforehand if your group has any dietary restrictions. (Please bring any snacks or additional beverages you desire)
