Great Day on the River - The tide to the starting dock was amazing, as were the views from the water of the dam. Eugene was a great tour guide and a fabulous pilot! Loved the brief stops with opportunity to swim. A marvelous experience all around.

Sarah was our guide. Her knowledge and love of nature made the trip even more memorable… make new friends from all world - Beautiful drive out to the Dam! Once we arrived another transport to the dam- steep drive, but driver very safe. Good day! The wind was very bad the day we went; however, Sarah’s ability to give warnings and “breaks” was perfect!! If windy- beware- you will get wet!! Absolutely beautiful day’

Spectacular Views of the Colorado River, Black Canyon and Hoover Dam - This motorized raft tour was taken on August 1st. It started at the base of Hoover Dam, went down the Colorado River, and was incredible. It was a terrific experience taking in all the great scenery and hearing about the river's history from Captain Russ. Thanks Russ for sharing your knowledge about this beautiful place! All about this tour was perfect, from the hotel pick-up, to the beach lunch, to swimming in the Colorado River. Again, the scenery was incredible.

Highly recommend - As a Travel agent, this is one of the best tours I have done!! Staff was amazing from start finish, plan for about 4 1/2-5 hours with driving and tour, but it is worth it. They take to the bottom of the Hoover Dam!! They tell you all the history, which is so amazing to hear. If going in the hot part of summer, wear hats, being sunscreen, and swim suits, or the long sleeve shirts with spf. They provided lots of water and cool towels for us which was amazing and lunch, and you get to keep the lunch bag. Our tour guide Kathleen was so knowledgeable and amazing, she even found us some big horn sheep on the tour! Victor was our driver and was so nice and funny. Will be back to do it again and will recommend to clients.
