Hoover Dam to Willow

Enjoy the Black Canyon at your own speed with Blazin' Paddles Self-Guided Tour. Launch directly at the base of the mighty Hoover Dam before meandering 12 miles down river to your end point of Willow Beach. Equipped with a map, explore all the various hot springs and slot canyons that the Black Canyon has to offer. At the end of the day your Blazin' Paddles attendant will load your kayak and the shuttle will leave from Willow Beach Marina at 4pm to drive you back to your vehicle at the Hoover Dam Lodge.

On this tour we offer Wilderness Systems Pungos and Pamlicos, which are a great mix of the stability of a recreational boat, and the speed of a touring boat. If you are looking for faster touring boats that come with a rudder we recommend you consider our Guided Full Day Tour. Please understand that we do label this tour as athletically difficult as you will be actively paddling 12 miles with no assistance of a guide.
