Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this kayak tour?

A: There's no official age limit, but children as young as 5 can join if they're accompanied by an adult. It’s best to check with the provider, though, as they might have recommendations based on your child's ability to paddle and swim. Just make sure they’re comfortable in the water!

Q: What do you wear for the kayak tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: I'd recommend lightweight, quick-drying clothes. A bathing suit under your clothes is perfect, plus an extra layer if you get cold. Don’t forget a good hat and sunscreen, since it'll be sunny around the Hoover Dam. Water shoes are a great idea too!

Q: Is it easy to reschedule if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, they’re pretty flexible with rescheduling. If the weather isn’t safe, you’ll get a chance to choose another date, which is great. Just make sure to call them as soon as you know you can’t make it. They’re pretty understanding!

Thinking about gifting the Hoover Dam Kayak Tour – Anyone done it?

I’m looking to surprise my partner with the Hoover Dam kayak tour. We love the outdoors and this seems epic! I read that it’s 12 miles long and includes hot springs and the Emerald Cave. If anyone has done it, how was the experience? Was it hard to paddle for the full day?

Can anyone share tips for the Hoover Dam kayak tour?

I’m booked for the Hoover Dam kayak tour next month, and I’m stoked! I’ve heard it can get really hot. What should I bring besides sunscreen and water? Any tips? Also, how’s the shuttle service from Vegas?
