Fun family adventure - Had a fabulous time on this adventure! Very well organised and structured from start to finish. Excellent snacks provided (cookie, chips and an apple) and a cold bottle of water. Our tour guide was Aidan and he had all sorts of fun facts and stories!

Great experience! - We really enjoyed the ride. Not too short, not too long. Definitely have to take a dip in the 52 degree water! The water is just incredibly clear and emerald. Then went on our dam tour. Perfect day!

Looks great! - We could not go on this trip because of the weather. However the customer service was fabulous. Our refund was processed immediately. The representative was professional and very kind. She was apologetic about the cancellation, even though she could not control the weather.

Hoover Dam Raft Excursion - We had a blast on our Hoover Dam raft excursion! Our van driver, Victor, was a treasure. Our boat driver, Russ, was friendly and informative. This is the best way to experience the Hoover dam. They had snacks and plenty of cold water to stay hydrated on a hot day. We came away with awesome photos and an unforgettable experience.

Fun River Trip - Neat perspective from water level. Knowledgeable staff that knew a lot of the history and points of interest. Very nice snack bag and cool towel. Water was nice and cool when we stopped, very refreshing. My only negative comment would be that I just thought that we'd go further up the river than we did.
