5.00My daughter and I had a great experience with Evolution Expeditions! We signed up for the Hoover Dam and Hot Springs Hike tour, but the night before our tour, there were flash floods and washout, which caused that specific tour to be cancelled. They were able to pivot very quickly and within the hour we had joined another tour to the Hoover Dam on Lake Mead and received a partial refund. Maddy was our guide for the original tour and she stayed with us while we joined Faith’s group. Both guides were great - they were friendly and really knowledgeable about the area! They turned what could’ve been a disappointing experience into a really great one! Also, if you have time, there is a nearby park called Hemenway Valley Park that has a lot of bighorn sheep that like to hang out there!
Great time with great people!

5.00What a great trip!! We started at Hover Dam and made our way down the river. We stopped at a sauna cave and several hot springs. Was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. I was afraid I would be sore from paddling, but was not. Perfect trip and we even saw an eagle! Our tour guide was Faith..she is awesome!! Request her as your guide..
A great way to enjoy the river

5.00Madyson was a fantastic guide, she was very informative and knowledgeable. The hike to the hot springs was short and well worth it. The emerald cave and echo cave were amazing. Lunch was delicious, and we were never hungry or thirsty.
