Kayak Trips with Kayak Lake Mead

Our reward in hosting a kayaking trip for you is just - your good memories.  Our kayak trips are all within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and are anywhere from just 45 minutes to 2 hours from Las Vegas, Nevada.

All of our kayaks and paddles are high performance and are a joy to paddle.

We have specific trips we offer.  However, they are customized for you (we don't do tours!).
