Experience the unique perspective of the Colorado River at the foot of the massive Hoover Dam. After descending nearly 1100 feet into Black Canyon, you'll launch onto the tranquil waters, surrounded by the towering concrete structure and the rugged canyon walls.

Gain an awe-inspiring view of the iconic Hoover Dam as seen from the Colorado River below. Marvel at the sheer scale and engineering of this monumental landmark, looking up at its impressive curved face from a rarely seen vantage point within the dramatic Black Canyon.

First stop will be Sauna Cave, where we will explore a natural steam-bath. Then move onto Gold Strike where numerous hot springs are hidden far into the reaches of the canyon.

Back at the kayaks, you'll paddle downriver toward Lone Palm Canyon, past waterfalls, and arrive at Boyscout Canyon. Explore the narrow slot canyons in search of the perfect hot spring. When you find it, you can enjoy yourself, knowing that your campsite is just downriver. A short paddle brings us to our camp for the evening, where our accommodations for the evening include a starry night sky, and the smell of a campfire. Enjoy a hearty dinner and good conversation, as the sounds of the river bubble gently in the background. After dinner, enjoy a long soak in a quiet hot spring before crawling into your warm sleeping bag for the evening.

The first day will be full of kayaking and hiking, and you will have plenty of time to roam free. The night will be spent enjoying the hot springs by moonlight, as the campfire crackles in the dark. Spend hours relaxing and soaking in the natural hot tubs. Paddle into rain caves, and take time to study ancient rock art left by the Mohave tribes who inhabited the area. Many wildlife species call Black Canyon home. You may see Desert Big Horn sheep, bald eagles, coyotes, red-tail hawks, and turkey vultures. Anglers can bring a rod & reel, and try their hand at some world-class striped bass fishing.
