Ancient River Tour

Gear up for a thrilling full-day kayaking adventure with an exclusive launch from Willow Beach, taking you deep into the remote and rugged beauty of the Black Canyon Narrows. This 8-mile journey is crafted for experienced paddlers eager to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in the wild serenity of the Colorado River. As you paddle south through shimmering emerald waters, you’ll navigate between towering canyon walls, glide into hidden coves, and pass through some of the most pristine desert landscapes in the region. Along the way, you'll pause to explore ancient petroglyphs etched into the stone, take a scenic hike through narrow slot canyons, and relax at a secluded riverside beach.

This isn’t just a leisurely outing—it’s an immersive wilderness experience that rewards endurance with breathtaking views and moments of true tranquility. With opportunities to spot bighorn sheep, waterfowl, and even the occasional eagle, the return journey offers as much excitement as the paddle out. Your knowledgeable guide will share stories of the canyon’s natural and cultural history, adding depth to every mile you cover. Complimentary snacks, juice, and bottled water keep you refreshed throughout the day, and a chance to swim in the cool Colorado waters adds a rejuvenating touch to this unforgettable escape into nature’s raw beauty.
