Great value for money. Raft pilot/guide was excellent and very knowledgable. Even the bus ride to the raft location was informative and interesting. Take sun cream and a hat it gets very hot and you’re in the sun the whole time. Raft ride is 3 hours but add on bus travel and the whole excursion is more like 4 1/2 hours

Our rafting trip was amazing! Sarah, our captain, was a wonderful guide. She imparted so much knowledge about rock formation and wildlife. The lunch box that was prepared for each passenger was so thoughtful and delicious. The raft had everything you could think of that we might need. The views are stunning. We would do this again!
Must do trip for history and nature enthusiasts!

Incredible journey on the Colorado River to learn about the history of the Hoover Dam, but also see and hear about the topography and wildlife in the area. Our guide, Sarah was amazing as she navigated the 40 degree weather and crazy winds!
Great for residents and visitors alike!

Wonderful day through the Black Canyon with visiting family members.. All staff was very welcoming and fun, from the office to the driver to the boat captain. Will definitely recommend to visiting friends and family and would do this again for a fun local activity.

It was amazing. I’ve lived in Vegas for 20+ years and never knew about this side of Hoover Dam and the beauty. I’ve been to Lake Mead many times, but never on the Colorado river. The guides explained things to you, showed you things you wouldn’t ordinarily see and again the beauty is just amazing. We had an awesome time and I would definitely do it again.
