Booked to go on the 4 hour river raft tour. We made out own way to the Hacienda Hotel at Boulder City (worth a visit too - lovely wee town) and then joined the coach to take us to the raft. Our pilot Jeff was excellent and could not do enough for us to make sure we enjoyed the day.... More

We had a great time seeing the dam which only 5% of the people get to see. We were educated on the men who worked on the dam and how they got there. We saw a lot of wild life and hot pools along the way. The lunch was good and our guide was very knowledgeable. Very glad we decided... More

My husband and I have been coming to Vegas annually for years and had never heard of this tour. A friend in Florida recommended it, and we think it's a gem of a tour. The view of Hoover Dam and the new bridge at the beginning are sprctacular and unique. Jeff was our guide and he was extremely courteous, knowlegeable,... More

This day-long kayak tour is not to be missed! Boulder City River Riders was the highlight of my trip to Vegas. We launched just below Hoover Dam and floated down the river through the beautiful red rock canyons. As if that wasn't cool enough, we stopped at several side canyons with a short walk up to hot springs pools!! There... More

Went with my husband and 12 & 14 yo kids. We all had a great time. It was a terrific view to be on the water looking up at the Hoover Dam. The water is very calm, the lunch is good. You are given two opportunities to get out and stretch your legs. Beware though..put on sunscreen no matter what..whenever... More

I took my grandkids both boys aged 9 and 11 and we had a blast. The guide was very informative and showed us lots of interesting features from when they built the dam. The boys spotted some big horn sheep and we had a fun time watching them navigate the steep cliffs. Lunch was good and the boys were able... More

It is not every day a person gets an up close look at Hoover dam from the bottom. Saw big horn sheep along the 7 mile raft trip down the Colorado River.

I was in Vegas alone for business and really needed to get away from the cigarette smoke, noise, and crowds of the strip. I booked the 3 hour rafting tour with pick-up and drop-off at my hotel. It also included a box lunch on the river, which was good. I booked it at the last minute and from start to... More
