Exclusive Hoover Dam Experience: Kayak on Lake Mead

What you'll do:

Embark on an unforgettable kayaking adventure to the iconic Hoover Dam on Lake Mead with an amazing view of the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Your experience begins the moment you step into our Mercedes Sprinter van. Enjoy a scenic ride along a three-mile desert dirt road, where wild burros may greet you!

Once you arrive at the launch site, paddle along the towering 800-foot cliffs to the Hoover Dam. Savor a delicious catered deli lunch in a picturesque slot canyon, with ample swim time to soak up the sun.

This exclusive tour provides a unique opportunity to view the Hoover Dam from the water without the commitment of a lengthy 12-mile paddle—it's an experience you won’t want to miss! This half-day adventure is perfect for both thrill-seekers and nature lovers. Don’t miss out—space is limited, and this unforgettable experience is likely to sell out quickly.
