Fun on the raft - Sarah was an excellent tour guide. Everything was very organized and efficient. If you’re going by car to the meeting spot, get there 30 minutes before departure.

A Great Las Vegas Adventure - We were surprised by finding this tour at all. We have visited Vegas 15 times in 32 years half as a couple and half as a family. This trip was a great find and a true adventure. Our guide/captain Sarah was informative, helpful, and really seemed to enjoy her job. Not a great deal of wildlife but we did see a herd of mountain sheep by the water's edge. Sarah made sure we had plenty of water, she had sunscreen and cool towels. Both my wife and Grandson (age 17) both considered this the highlight of this 9 day Vegas trip.

Run , relaxing rafting trip below the Hoover Dam - We enjoyed the Raft tour down the Colorado. Out guide Ron was knowledgeable about the history of the dam, the geology of the area, and wildlife. Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen as there is no shade. The lunch provided was excellent. Bus rides to and from the excursion worked well. We had a fun 3 hours. Definitely recommend.

Great fun - This was such a fun trip. Very educational, professional and safe. From beginning to end it was very well organized. The staff was awesome. If you sit in the front of the boat you could get very wet, so dress accordingly.

Boat ride fun…transportation to/from not great - The actual boat ride itself was a neat experience. I was surprised how close we get to the bottom of the Hoover Dam! If you want to get less wet, sit closer to the driver of the boat….the water on the Colorado River is quite cold and the spray/splashes was not the most desirable. The commuication leading up to the tour was lacking. On Viator, it said the tour starts at 10am. I knew from a kayak tour I did the day before that the actual pickup from resort time was earlier than the said start time. The company that operated the Hoover Dam tour did not communicate this info until I emailed them asking what was the actual pickup time was. Our driver was very rude (Angela, I believe) and was making jokes about homeless people on the streets and the LGBQT community as we passed a couple of people who identified as a different sex. Very inappropriate.
