I wouldn't say it's wheelchair accessible! The van you take from the lodge can't fit a wheelchair. You couldn't push a wheelchair onto the boat nor is there a place to situate the wheelchair on the boat.

Loved this tour! From getting to see the dam from a secure location and our snack bag. This tour was so worth it. The driver and tour guides were so knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time.

We go to Vegas often, but have never did a rafting tour. I can’t even explain how amazing it was. Omg, U have to experience if for yourself. From the minute our amazing bus driver, Marty was driving Us to the bottom to meet Sarah, our guide. She is so knowledgeable and truly loves her job. We only did the 1.5 hour tour because we wanted to see how much we would enjoy it. Now we can’t wait to return and do the 3 hour tour on our next trip. We have done many things on our trips to Vegas, but nothing can really top this yet. Swimming in the Colorado River was awesome. Yes, a bit cold at first, but an experience of a life time. The scenery is breathtaking seeing yourself at the bottom of the bridge & Hoover Dam…..Unbelievable.. It was also great meeting People on the tour from different places. Liz & Tom From Canada

Four of us "senior citizens" did the 90 minute Postcard Tour, which was just right as far as time and gives you a whole new perspective for viewing Hoover Dam. Our guide, Russ, was very friendly, informative and entertaining. The ride on the raft is comfortable, but of course, very short, which was okay! We stopped briefly at a "beach" - a gravel peninsula actually - and got in the water, which was refreshing. Since this tour does not provide transportation from the Strip, we took a rideshare (Lyft) to and from the meeting spot. That cost about $120, but even with that, this tour is quite a bargain at 100 bucks per person. BTW, the Hoover Dam Lodge meeting spot is a neat place, and we had a great, and very cheap, breakfast there!

The serenity of the river and a unique way to look at the dam makes it worth visiting! However the tour has a slightly slow pace, so be aware that younger folks, or those without someone accompanying them may feel less engaged

A more than wonderful trip on the Colorado river near the Hoover dam. Great experience with wonderful tourguides Mitch and Sarah. Everything was there from a snack-bag, wet towels, lots of water and wonderful views.
