After taking in the views and snapping some photos, you’ll return to the shuttle van for a scenic drive down to Willow Beach Marina, where your kayaking journey begins. Your expert guide will provide a thorough kayaking orientation, explaining the ins and outs of paddling and getting you ready for the adventure ahead.
As you make your way through the canyon toward the Emerald Cave, keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and bald eagles along the cliffs and shoreline!
