The Emerald Cave kayak tour starts at 8AM and 1PM and lasts anywhere between 3 to 4 hours. Strategically chosen to avoid kayak rush hour traffic.

The Emerald Cave, located in the Black Canyon on this stretch of the Colorado River is the most popular destination for this area as it is only roughly 2 miles up river from the starting point.
