Hoover Dam Kayaking Trip, 6 Hot Springs, 6 Caves, 4 Waterfalls

Booked a full-day kayaking tour down the Colorado River with Adventure Child for my 57th birthday on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026, and could not have had a better time! Our tour guide, Shawn Lewis, was absolutely amazing! He was so fun to hang out with for the entire day and showed us some out-of-the-way places that most people rarely get to see. Shawn was very knowledgeable of the area and definitely went the extra mile to make sure my birthday was a day I'll never forget! We hung out at several popular hot springs (and some that most never see), and several waterfalls (also many never see), rope-climbed rocks, and explored a few caves as well. Had a great lunch and snacks on the beach, which Shawn provided, and we just took our time enjoying every moment. You can genuinely tell that Shawn loves his job! And I can see why! The weather was perfect, and as the sun began to set, we stopped at a campsite where we met up with another camper, Castro, who hooked us up with a warm campfire, an extra sweatshirt, and a spare fuel canister to cook our dinner. Shawn whipped up some authentic Japanese ramen noodles for dinner! After that, we had about another 4 miles of kayaking down the river under the stars. It was a perfect ending to an incredible adventure! Shawn also took hundreds of pics and videos throughout the day to capture all of the highlights! And he didn't waste a moment to remind me that it was my birthday! LOL! I definitely gained a lifelong friend and priceless memories! I'm already looking forward to another adventure in the near future! Thanks so much to Adventure Child and Shawn Lewis for a birthday I'll never forget! I highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking to unplug and escape the daily grind for an amazing time!
