Your day will begin as you meet your guide and prepare for the thrilling ride down the Lower Portal Road - the only road to the base of Hoover Dam. As you drop 1100 feet in elevation, the mighty face of the dam presents itself. Here you will unload boats and equipment for your journey through Black Canyon. After a short safety briefing along with some basic paddling instruction, we will help you into your boat.

Your first stop will be Sauna Cave; an exploratory cave dug by the Bureau of Reclamation before they built the Hoover Dam. Check out the minerals in the back, or perhaps sweat out the pitcher of margaritas you drank last night. Either way, the cool dip in the river on the way out is sure to awaken your senses.

Throughout the day your expert guide will stop and show you unique and hidden places such as Gold Strike Canyon, Lone Palm Canyon, Emerald Cave, and many other treats.

One other very popular attraction along the river is the many natural hot springs and hot waterfalls that hide in the slot canyons. Be sure to wear a bathing suit or something to wear while sitting in the mineral tubs. They contain many natural minerals, and the healing properties are well documented. This is the same type of treatment people pay big bucks for in the Las Vegas spas. Here, in the privacy of Black Canyon, you get your own natural hot spring - absolutely free! You will have ample time to enjoy a relaxing soak while on your scenic journey.
