Guided Rafting Tours at Hoover Dam and Black Canyon

Fantastic!!! Worth every penny. 10 out of 10- would definitely recommend 💖! Captain/Guide Eugene was very knowledgeable and took time for all to not only look but also field questions. Lunch hit the spot with even vegetarian options. A dip in the river near geothermal springs- very refreshing!!!! Transport was super engaging and informative. I will book this trip again. It was amazing.

We had an amazing time with Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures! The scenery was beautiful, and it was such a unique way to experience the Colorado River and see the Hoover Dam from below. A huge thank you to our guide, Sarah. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire trip so much fun. She shared interesting facts about the area and made sure everyone had a great time. The rest of the crew also deserves a shout out. The bus driver and dock hands were friendly, organized, and helped make the whole experience easy and memorable. I highly recommend this tour, and if you get Sarah as your guide, you're in for an awesome experience!

Too much talking and not enough boating. We did the full 3 hour tour. At the beginning of the tour, we spent what seemed like 30 minutes just in idle in the blazing sun listening to the guide talk about the dam. We had 4 adults and 3 children (ages 4, 6, and 9). The kids got bored and restless pretty quickly. Even the adults were kinda zoning out. I loved being on the water and seeing the Dam. I am a local Nevadan, so have been on Lake Mead and seen the Dam many times before, but this was my first time boating on the Colorado river side of the dam. It was absolutely beautiful. We went in mid October, so pretty good weather, perfect in the shade. I wish we spent more time at the beach to swim, eat, and play around (only had 20 minutes). I also would have liked to take the boat back from Willow Bay to the Dam. We were driven back from Willow Bay on the interstate in a van. It was a very long drive back and I didnt like being on an interstate highway without my kids in their car seats/booster seats. Everyone was nice and friendly. Not sure if I would do again - if I did, I would do the shorter tour and definitely leave the young kids at home.

This was an amazing and fun adventure! The tour guide was incredible, and the veggie wrap is so underrated! So good! Book the adventure! You won’t regret it!

First, I want to start by saying that if I could give this rafting trip a higher score than five stars it would definitely be a 10 star rafting trip adventure! I recently had the chance to experience rafting with the Hoover Dam River Rafting Adventures, and it was absolutely worth the trip! From the start, our shuttle driver, Scott, made the journey smooth and enjoyable. We were picked up at Treasure Island and headed straight to the Hoover Dam. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and full of helpful information about the area. There were a total of four of us scheduled for the rafting trip. Once we arrived at the boat ramp, we were greeted by our guide, Russ, who was equally knowledgeable and personable. The rafting experience was comfortable and relaxing, especially since the raft was motorized, so no paddling necessary! Russ provided us with wet towels to keep cool in the heat, which was much appreciated in the morning sun. The first highlight was spotting a mama bighorn sheep with her baby right at the base of the Hoover Dam. It was a rare sight, and Russ explained that they don't usually come that close to the dam so early in the day. As we continued down the Colorado River, Russ shared interesting historical and geological information about the area, which made the ride even more enjoyable. We stopped at a small beach area for lunch, where we were treated to a nice spread that included a sandwich or wrap, chips, an apple, a cookie, and water. The water temperature was pretty chilly at 54°-58°, but it was refreshing to get in, especially given how hot it was outside. This is where I recommend you get into the water, even though it may be very cold! After lunch, we continued down the river, with Russ taking us into a few inlet areas with waterfalls, giving us even more insight into the surroundings. His knowledge of the area really added to the experience. At the end of the trip, we docked at Willow Creek, where Scott was waiting to take us back. On the drive back, we made a stop at a park by Lake Mead, where we were able to see male bighorn sheep, a perfect way to wrap up the day. This was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and informative rafting adventure. It’s a great way to take in the beauty of the Hoover Dam and Colorado River, with a knowledgeable guide and no paddling required!
