Founded by Gio and Michelle (Gio Chavez and Michelle Madrid) and inspired by their son Ezekiel, EZ Kayak Tours & Rentals is a family-run outfitter that’s earned its reputation as a go-to for Las Vegas outdoor activities. Their guided tours combine simplicity, safety, and unforgettable scenery—without the crowds or chaos of the Strip.
This half-day kayak tour near Las Vegas launches from Willow Beach and follows a peaceful route through the Colorado River’s Black Canyon. Guests paddle past towering cliffs, explore quiet coves, and enjoy a scenic stop at Emerald Cave—one of the most photographed locations along the river. It’s a perfect Vegas day trip and a refreshing break from typical tourist stops.
Ideal for families, couples, and corporate groups, this experience ranks high among things to do in Vegas with a group. Most guests choose tandem kayaks to share the effort, alternate paddling, and relax as they take in the views. The tour covers 4.5 miles round-trip and lasts about 3 to 3.5 hours.
All tours are small-group and led by nationally certified guides—including Chief Wilderness Guides Don Kim and David Fuller, alongside co-founder Gio Chavez. Whether you’re a first-time paddler or a seasoned explorer, you’re in good hands.
