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.

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.

It was a beautiful scenic tour. Do prepare to get a little wet due to splashing of waves. The captain was very informative. The different people we met on this trip were very friendly and from all over the world

This the best way to experience the dam, get a great visual of the conditions the workers experienced building it while also capturing some awesome photos along the way. If you're luck some of the wildlife will drop by for a photo or two.

The entire experience was on time and well planned. It was very safe and enjoyable. We saw bighorn sheep drinking from the river.

Horrible experience with Viator. All their emails say arrival time 10:00 am when in fact it’s 9:30 am so we missed the tour and then Viator told us we could reschedule to the next day and then 30 minutes later said no and refused to refund our money. Total rip-off and I am now disputing the charges. Ended up booking the tour directly with the raft company. That’s the only way to do this. Stay away completely from Viator.

As part of our girls getaway, the four of us ventured out for a three hour tour. We arranged for transportation from the hotel and couldn’t have been happier to board our Mercedes van and meet Angela, our driver. She’s been in Vegas since the late 70s so has a wealth of knowledge about the city and surrounding areas. She also made sure we were well prepared for a day on the River- sunscreen, hats and water.
The weather never started getting rough and our raft was never tossed. Our guide, Eugene, was great and we set off with our group of 11.
We learned so much about the construction of the Hoover Dam - an incredible engineering project, especially given that it was constructed in the 1930s.
The trip down the Colorado River was stunning. Crystal clear (cold) water, birds, Bighorn Sheep and wildflowers. We stopped a few times to stretch our legs and a few braved a swim.
We ended at the marina which had a shop for souvenirs and beverages. Angela was there to pick us up and drove us back to our hotel. She was as excited about our trip as we were!
If you have the time in Vegas to take this tour, it’s a real highlight and a nice break from the Strip. So glad our friend Heidi made all the arrangements and we were able to experience this part of Nevada!

This was a girl's trip to Vegas, and I checked the reviews when deciding which tour and this tour had the best reviews. I know why; THEY ARE THE BEST. From the communication at the time of booking, to the emails, the staff at both ends and the rides to and from the water. Very informative, beautiful, fun, friendly, and safe. Angela our bus driver from National Park Express was also very informative giving us tour tips and info to and from the river and the Mercedes Sprinter van was comfortable and her frozen water bottles appreciated! Eugene was our boat operator, and he was the best. Request him and you will be as pleased with your tour as we were. He's witty, knowledgeable, courteous and was the perfect host for our tour. The sandwich a delicious turkey wrap, with apple, chips, cookie and water and the souvenir lunch bag was a nice bonus. Great photos, fun stops, and a perfect way to break up a few days at the casinos. The whole crew at the Hoover Dam Raft Tours are amazing and if you have any doubt about planning this side trip while in Vegas, put your casino money to a more memorable experience and enjoy the trip. Absolutely the best!!!
