The Island Kayak + Hike Tour

Highlights

Description

The Island Kayak + Hike Tour is a perfect half-day adventure for families and explorers seeking a relaxed yet immersive Lake Powell experience. Launching from Page, Arizona, you’ll paddle calm waters surrounded by the vibrant cliffs of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Your guide leads you across the lake toward the sandstone “islands,” where smooth red rock rises from the turquoise water like a natural playground. Once ashore, stretch your legs on a short guided hike over ancient sandstone, learning about the desert’s unique geology, wildlife, and Native history. You’ll have plenty of time for photos of panoramic Lake Powell vistas before returning to your kayaks for the journey back. When weather permits, enjoy an optional swim in the lake’s crystal-clear shallows—an ideal cool-down before the paddle home. With comfortable sit-on-top kayaks, small group sizes, and friendly local guides, this 4-hour tour combines relaxation, light adventure, and breathtaking scenery in one unforgettable morning or afternoon on the water.
