Jim&Julie - I'm very scared of water, love dry land, but I was so happy I went. The driver that took us there Victor was very knowledgeable about the Lake, the river the whole drive there he explained every detail of caves, dynamite, and how they put the pipes for water to come down. So much I can't remember it all. Same with our tour guy. It was so relaxing and we seen mama sheep and her baby. We got to walk around for a while and seen a cave with hot springs water, very nice. Beware the clothing is optional 😆. Had a wonderful time thank you 👍.

Fun rafting tour! - Fun tour next to the Hoover Dam. Great tour guide, Sarah, and great shuttle driver. The tour was filled with facts about the river and the dam and we got to see bighorn sheep. The raft does not travel too far down the river but you get to see many sights. You do get to stop off and cool your feet in the river which was nice.

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.
