Fun for the entire family, your journey begins with a 12-mile, rapid-free raft trip down the Colorado River to Willow Beach, Ariz. As you gently float down the Colorado River from the base of the Hoover Dam, enjoy a view and perspective of the dam available nowhere else. Along the way, expert guides point out soaring birds of prey, gravity-defying bighorn sheep, waterfalls and bubbling hot springs. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the beach.

From here, you will board a luxury 4x4 or custom VIP Mini Coach and experience Hoover Dam's Discovery Tour, which takes you inside this manmade wonder. You will also have the opportunity to photograph and explore the amazing structure and its monuments as well as experience the visitor center and gift shop.

Before returning to Las Vegas, the tour makes a stop at a local park. Keep an eye out -- herds of bighorn sheep often come down from the surrounding mountains to graze on the grass.

Black Canyon Raft Portion: This is not a whitewater rafting trip. The raft portion of this tour includes a slow water trip on a pontoon style raft. These are large comfortable rafts that have been carefully constructed with your safety in mind. They have multiple air chambers and are outfitted with all of the Coast Guard required and recommended safety equipment. All the rafts have plenty of room for passengers, so you will not be overcrowded. During this excursion, the experienced and knowledgeable guides share the history of this magnificent geological area.

To ensure the most comfortable experience for the customer, this tour uses the following vehicles: SUVs for seven passengers or 14-passenger VIP Mini Coaches. Child price applies to those who are 11 years old and younger.

Beautiful Scenery, Incredible Engineering! I really enjoyed this trip. The canyon rafting was superb. The guide was informative and friendly. The natural scenery was wonderful. The only way it could have been better, was if more time was available on the breaks to have a wander around the area a bit more. The tour of the dam was good. I think the time given to look around was a bit too long (2 hrs), after such a long time on the rafting - I was getting tired! The bus guide was very helpful and provided interesting information about the area and general Nevada history. I would recommend this tour, but if there was a longer rafting experience available, I would choose that instead. March 21, 2013

Hoover Dam and River Rafting Tour Overall a good tour, but some things to know. The tour only includes the Hoover Dam Power Plant and not the Dam tour. You will have time to look around the structor on the outside. The raft tour is gentle and is something anyone can do. No rapids or anything like that, but be prepared to get wet a little. Mainly just spray. The only issue we had was booking the tour. To be fair we booked less than 24 hours in advance by phone and we did get what we asked for, Only down side was it took 42 minutes (most of the time on hold) to get the tour booked. Again to be fair I have no idea what was going on behind the scene and we were booking less that 24 hours in advance. March 9, 2013

A must do to really appreciate the Dam tour and what it's done for the Colorado River. Had a great time on the Colorado River for about 3 hours, and then took our tour of Hoover Dam. You need to do both in order to realize what the Dam did for the Colorado and what an engineering feat the Dam itself is. Could have stayed on the River for hours longer. The only thing that wasn't mentioned in the brochure write-up was that there is not a dock at the River entry point. For those of us that are a little older and with less than perfect joints, it was a surprise. Luckily it's only a few yards, and our guide Brian was very helpful. Loved this tour!!! January 23, 2013

This experience is great! We took the raft/Hoover tour for the third time. Every time is unique as you experience great scenery and a very pleasant captain of the raft. We reccomend this trip to any visitor to the Las Vegas area! We will be back. September 7, 2012
