Unfortunately, any alcohol before or during the tour is not allowed!
We always recommend closed toe water shoes or sneakers you do not mind getting wet because, we will be on desert terrain with a lot of different sized rocks, in and out of the water. Dress accordingly to the weather, it is normally best to wear athletic and outdoor type of clothing that dries fast. During our warmer months, you will have the opportunity to swim! You can wear your swim wear under your clothes. We always also recommend wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (sunburn is never fun)!
Blazin’ Paddles does not provide any lockers. The less you bring will be better. If you have personal belongings you are able to store them in your kayak hatches; however, we can not guarantee it will stay dry. If you need to protect any of your belongings from getting wet, please use some type of waterproof protection. We do sell waterproof phone cases ($6) and dry bags at our office (starting at $15) before tour. On the full-day tour you will need a government-issued picture ID. You might also want to bring a little cash to spend at the Marina store after your trip or for gratuities. Please try to leave purses and handbags and other bulky items at home, in your hotel or car, as we again we do not have lockers for belongings.
After we pick everyone up, we stop at our store inside the Hoover Dam Lodge to fill out liability waivers and use the restrooms before we head to the river. You will have the opportunity to purchase any last minute merchandise at that time.
Our most popular items for purchase: water shoes $20 / dry bags $13-$95 / phone protectors $6 / hats $16-$21
*all items are subject to availability*
We provide you with enough water and snacks on all of our tours, but you are more than welcome to bring your own.
We run our tours rain or shine! However, if are going to experience inclement weather that may deem unsafe, we reserve the right to cancel any tour departure for weather/safety reasons and will provide a full refund for any tour cancelled by the company. The decision is made by the head guide the day before your tour date (as close as we can get to look at the weather forecast). We will either send out a confirmation for your tour or let you know the options if the tour is canceled. Please see our cancelation and change policies for more details.
