Itinerary
As you exit highway 95 you will encounter a national park entrance where you pay the entrance fee unless you have an "America the beautiful National Park Pass" then you can use that to enter the park.
Kayak Beach is the paddle craft launch area where we meet, go over a safety briefing and where the kayak tour starts!
Experience stunning Grand Canyon views and quiet tranquility as you watch the Colorado River wind through the rugged red rock walls.
This is where we stop for snacks and a short walk to see historical locations with incredible views.
This is also where the tour ends and we bid you a fair well!
We enter the Emerald Cave, get a break from the sun, take pictures and talk about the formation of the cave.
