Great family fun! - My family and I had a blast! Our van driver(Estefan?) Was fabulous and welcoming. He was also very knowledgeable and had lots of fun facts. Our captian Sarah was so amazing! She, too, was super welcoming and informative. Her little jokes were funny and my two children (12&10) just loved her. Highly recommend this tour with these wonderful people!

Honeymoon on the Colorado - It was a great tour, very informative and interesting, not only about the dam, but also about the canyon , plants, wildlife! Sarah was a great tour guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fun!!! I liked that the tour operators were concerned about the heat. There was plenty of water, snacks and cold, water-soaked towels if needed. If you’re in Las Vegas, this is a must tour.

A Great Choice for Tour! - This tour is amazing! It’s very cool to see the dam and bridge from below. They do a really great job at keeping you comfortable/cool on this tour. Also the water is 50 degrees and extremely refreshing to get into if you need to cool off. Highly recommend!!

Fun on the Colorado - This excursion was more exciting than we expected. Eugene was a huge part of our fun. He had loads of knowledge and his light hearted humor made the trip for us. Bus drivers were very good and had great knowledge as well. We would definitely do this again

Awesome Day - Bucky was the best guide. Great experience for all. We will be back next year for sure. The river was category 4-5. Great for all ages. Water temperature was perfect and the sun was out all day. We would not change a thing.

A great family trip! - We travelled with a group of 14 including a 1 year old a 3, 4, 5, 6 , 9 year old children. We had such a wonderful morning I cannot thank the team enough. So well organised, informative and accommodating for us all. An endless supply of cold towels and water to drink. We even were able to take the pram on the boat to give shade for the baby. Thank you all!

It was very scenic and... - It was very scenic and cool to see the Hoover dam. We did a lot of just sitting on the raft while the tour guide talked. It was extremely hot so I wished we were moving as he was talking. I was hoping to see the other side as well. Swimming in the river was very refreshing. Glad we did it but may opt for another type of tour next time.
