An absolutely fabulous experience - Friends and I were in Vegas and looking for a different type of adventure. This tour was a wonderful time! I'm a tour guide at Grand Canyon and know the ins and outs of being a guide and leading a tour. I can't speak any more highly of this tour and especially our guide, Sarah! Experience, knowledge, being entertaining, and a sharing bits of education are all part of the gig and she nailed it. Book either the half or full tour and you won't be close to a boring time. Thanks, Sarah!!!

Worth the time and money - My family of 16 really enjoyed this trip. Our host were all great from check-in, shuttle transport, and raft guide. It was good info but getting out and feeling the springs and climbing the rocks for a few was a treat.

Engineering at it’s best! - Was a great time! Very knowledgeable guides that provided a slow down, relaxed experience about nature and how the dam was built. So beautiful and humbling to see.

Fantastic Tour - I went with my sister and had a wonderful time. The tour operators (both the van driver and raft captain were so funny and informative and clearly love their work). I loved the combination of history tid bits, cheesy jokes, and explanations of the nature/ongoing work at the dam. I also appreciated how the tour operators reminded us to stay hydrated as I wasn't used to the desert weather. The stop off where we could walk in the river was so refreshing after the heat too. Overall this felt the little bit of nature our trip needed and the whole tour felt like just the right amount of time to appreciate the Hoover Dam without becoming overwhelmed by the heat or it dragging on too long.

Fun but a Little Crowded - Good tour for those not up for the Kayak Tour. I am a water enthusiast so I made ure to always sit as far forward as possible on the pontoons. The tour was professional and informative.

Great View of one of the man-made wonders of the world - As advertised this is a very different view of the Hoover Dam. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our Boat captain Eugene was a fun and happy guide that made the ride pleasant.

Hoover Dam with Cindy - The most memorable part is seeing the Hoover Dam up close while we were in the raft. Our guide was very informative and really gave us a lot of information on the dam and the water.
