Book with EZ Kayak!!! - What a great kayak tour to Emerald Cave and beyond with EZ Kayak Tours and Rentals. Booking process was easy and all follow up with Gio was useful and made us excited for the experience. Excellent customer service! EZ Kayak and Tours provides everything needed, anything you may have forgotten, photos and a nice snack. Our early Monday morning tour on the water led by David was smooth and peaceful. We were confident in David's ability to handle any unforeseen situation. He is very experienced and knowledgeable about the area. Black Canyon itself is beautiful and worth the trip on its own. The water is so clear but cold. Would be very refreshing on a hot summer day. We highly recommend EZ Kayak Tour and Rentals for any of the tours and services they provide.

Amazing scenery and Guides - We had a great time - our guides Gio and David were awesome 😎 The cave itself was pretty underwhelming so don’t expect much there- but the rest of the trip made up for it. Beautiful emerald green waters! I’d go again for sure!

Great fun and relaxing! Do it!!!! - We had the pleasure of a wonderful kayaking experience with Don! It was my 1st time kayaking, it took a little getting used to but not difficult at all! If you are going with a group or it is your 1st time kayaking, I suggest booking a guide. He took a ton of pictures, gave a history of the area and was very professional. I would suggest bringing a change of clothes for after the tour. Also, there is no cell phone coverage once you are headed towards the state park. The state park entrance fee was $25 and they only accept military discount for active duty and retiree but the military member has to be present, spouses and children are not eligible for the discount. This was a great time! We would definitely do it again!!!

Great day and great host! - We took a kayaking tour to Emerald Cove with Don on Sunday, 10th August 2025, and it was absolutely amazing! The scenery was breathtaking, and Don made the experience even better with his wealth of information and engaging personality. He kept the group entertained and informed the whole way. We would highly recommend EZ Kayak Tours and Rentals — and if you can, definitely try to get Don as your guide!
