Great way to spend a half day. - Everything was well organized from the pickup from our hotel on the strip to our return. Sarah, our captain was a great host. She was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.

Great Trip - A really great trip! About 12 miles down the Columbia River starting at Hoover Dam and ending at Willow Beach, AZ. We sat up front. Not recommended if you don’t want to get wet on the second leg of the journey. Panchos were provided for us “in the front peeps”. Saved our day. Great tour guide. Awesome scenery. Saw wild Bighorn Sheep. Your bus driver from the hotels was awesome. Got to take a “celebrity tour” though Boulder City on the way back. Highly recommended.

Great experience, highly recommended - We loved the whole experience: from well organized transportation to and from the raft, the great 'rafting' led by wonderful Sarah, to small but noticeable details such as e.g. nicely prepared (healthy) lunch boxes :) I would definitely recommend this tour and in case we are back to US one day, we will consider it again. Hint (based on what Sarah said): take a tour on Sunday or Monday in October to enjoy quietness on the river (other motorboats are forbidden) - we were surprised and super happy to see no other boats during our Sunday tour!

Superb - Our float trip was delightful. The entire trip was well organized and thoughtfully arranged so that we could fully enjoy the remarkable beauty and character of this scenic place. The transportation, narration, scheduling, facilities, and opportunities to be a part of a special place were outstanding. Thank you!

Wonderful Escape Along the Colorado - This relaxing and exceptionally beautiful ride down the Colorado River is the only way to see Hoover Dam from the water and should not be missed. Our captain, Sarah, was not only a winning personality but highly informative. She made it a joy. So escape the hustle of the strip and head for Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures.

I was in AWWW - Sarah was wonderful. It was my birthday and she had everyone sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! The trip down the river was quite remarkable we saw some big horn sheep. All the guest were very friendly too! Sarah really knows her history when it comes to the Hoover Dam and the Colorado River. I would definitely do this again.

A must do tour - This review is for our pick up driver for the Hoover Dam Raft tour, for which I have already submitted a review. We were picked up by Freddie, who took us to Lake Mead,for our pick up to Hoover Dam, he also picked us up at the end of the tour at Willow Beach. He was a lovely man, full of knowledge, courteous and friendly.

Awesome!!!!! - OMG!!!! First off , this was an amazing excursion. Captain Eugene made this a very memorable experience. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of Las Vegas, Arizona and the Colorado River. His commentary, jokes and interactions with all of us was a nice touch to making the time go by. The views of the Mountains and the Hoover Dam up close were spectacular and calming. The beach stops were awesome and swimming in the water was a very cool off treat. This is a must do adventure.

Wonderful - Very enjoyable. It is the only way to see the Hoover Dam from the bottom. Our guide Cathleen was fantastic. She has been doing this for 38 years. She knows everything about the canyon.
