5.00Our guide Haley was an awesome bundle of energy! She was very professional, took the time to help a couple of first time kayakers, and showed us a very nice afternoon. She picked us up at our hotel and we drove over the Hoover Dam and saw some wonderful sites along the way to the marina. She had an endless supply of water, snacks, and great information to share with us about the history of the area. We would highly recommend this tour & we loved being in a tandem kayak. We wore long sleeves and long pants as well as hats, and that was a wise choice, considering several hours on the river, 4 miles in the kayak and lots of sunshine. We’ve used Vidor internationally as well as domestically, and it is a great company!
You won't regret this tour!

5.00Our guide had great knowledge of Boulder City and the building of the Hoover Dam. We also saw, lizards, red eyed grebe, ducks and a variety of plants. We were also lucky enough to see a long horned sheep. It was a leisurely 4mile kayak which included a short trek up to a view point and some pioneer ruins. Wonderful day
So Much Fun on the River and Beautiful
