We enjoyed the Raft tour down the Colorado. Out guide Ron was knowledgeable about the history of the dam, the geology of the area, and wildlife. Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen as there is no shade. The lunch provided was excellent. Bus rides to and from the excursion worked well. We had a fun 3 hours. Definitely recommend.

Louise_L

It was my third time on the tour, and Eugene, our guide, was excellent! Knowledgable, funny, with the history of the dam and the canyon : he made this trip lively and so interesting! It was my best tour so far! And the Colorado river is amazing... a must see, a beauty to discover !

Amy L

This was such a fun trip. Very educational, professional and safe. From beginning to end it was very well organized. The staff was awesome. If you sit in the front of the boat you could get very wet, so dress accordingly.

This raft trip was a lot of fun with amazing views. Captain Ron told us a lot of stories and the history about the river Dam and bridges.

Peter_P

The tour was very informative. We were up close with the Hoover Dam from the bottom of the dam , it showed the dam from a different perspective . Very nice leisurely ride down the river. The shuttle driver and boat captain were both very warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
