If you are looking for an introductory kayak trip that is slower paced, with plenty of time for kicking back and enjoying a day off, then join us on our ½day Lake Mead trip. Lake Mead is one of America's most popular recreation areas, with a 12-month season that attracts more than 9 million visitors each year for swimming, boating, skiing, and fishing.
Your tour guide will instruct you on basic paddling techniques, and familiarize you with your kayak. Once in your boat, you will head out into the crystal waters of the largest man made lake in the United States. As you paddle out toward Boulder Islands and the Sentinel, you will encounter the wreckage of boats that have sunk long ago. With recent low water levels, these wooden skeletons are exposed and you can explore the islands to find several old boat graveyards. Your guide will be knowledgeable in the history of the area, and can explain the cement structure you will see on the West side of the Boulder Islands.
If the weather is nice and you feel the urge, take time to swim in the green
waters. Summer water temps range around 85F degrees, and the water
stays nice even into late fall. Grab a snorkel and mask and check out what lies beneath the surface. You may even find some sea shells!
After a nice picnic style lunch on the beach, you will pack up the gear and
paddle back toward the marina, passing several large yachts and houseboats
along the way.
