Tandem Kayak Rentals at Willow Beach

Rent a 2-person tandem kayak for a self-guided adventure to Emerald Cave on the calm waters of the Colorado River, just 1 hour from Las Vegas at Willow Beach, AZ. Tandem kayaks are perfect for couples, friends, and families who want to paddle together while exploring one of the most scenic destinations in the Southwest.

This is a self-guided rental, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace for up to 5 hours. Many guests paddle to Emerald Cave, a stunning hidden grotto where sunlight reflects off the water to create a glowing emerald-green effect. The paddle to Emerald Cave is approximately 4 miles roundtrip and typically takes about 3 hours at a relaxed pace, leaving plenty of extra time to swim, explore coves, or relax along the river.

All equipment is included with your rental, including a premium Wilderness Systems tandem kayak (not sit-on-top), two paddles, two life jackets, and a dry bag for personal items. Before launching, our team provides a brief orientation covering safety, route tips, and what to expect on the river so you feel confident before heading out.

This stretch of the Colorado River is calm, protected, and beginner-friendly, making tandem kayaking an excellent choice for first-time paddlers. With no guide or schedule once you’re on the water, you decide where to go and how long to stay. Paddle to Emerald Cave, stop for photos, beach your kayak for a swim, or explore quiet inlets along Black Canyon.
