Corporate team-building is easy to coordinate with our flexible launch times and optional complimentary shuttle for groups of 6 or more. It’s one of the most peaceful ways to bond outside the boardroom.
Self-guided kayak rentals are available daily between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and all equipment is fully set up at the lake upon your arrival. No lifting or transport required—just park, sign in, and paddle.
Paddleboard rentals are also available for guests ages 12+. We offer both single and tandem boards, and the calm waters of Willow Beach make it the perfect spot to try stand-up paddling even if you’re new to it.
Looking for a unique combo? Guests have paired their experience with helicopter tours or booked a second activity to round out the day. If you’re visiting Vegas with friends, family, or a private group, we’ll help you plan it out.
