Desert Adventures

The Colorado River is central to Desert Adventures, but its Boulder City operation reaches well beyond a single kayak route. The independent outfitter organizes guided paddling, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking and multi-day river trips, with equipment and instruction available from the same local base.

The people planning the trip

Owner Izzy Collett is the company's CEO and an instructor. Her background includes canoeing, kayaking and extended river expeditions, and she oversees training and educational programs. The company connects those skills with wilderness-medicine instruction, meal planning and the practical details of taking groups outdoors.

Its guided trips emphasize smaller groups and prepared guides. The business describes guides sharing local history, wildlife and geology along the route, while also carrying communication and first-aid equipment. Trip choices range from shorter paddles to full days and longer expeditions.

For people arranging their own outing

The retail and outfitting shop carries new and used kayaks and canoes, paddles, personal flotation devices and related accessories. Camping rentals include items such as tents, sleeping bags, pads, stoves, chairs and coolers. That can help a visitor equip a trip without flying with every piece of gear.

Used boats are available throughout the year, with inventory changing. The company encourages prospective buyers to arrange time to try sitting in different kayaks and discuss fit rather than select only from a photograph.

Where the adventure starts

Desert Adventures' hub is at 1647 Boulder City Parkway, Suite A. Its classes and tours generally begin and end there, although the activities themselves take place outdoors. The shop maintains seasonal office hours and direct phone and email contacts for matching a trip, rental or class to a customer's plans. Boulder City serves as both the business's home and its departure point into the surrounding desert landscape.
