Great way to spend a few hours away from the strip. - Excellent short tour with plenty of historical information and plenty of chuckles as well. Excellent tout guide. The rafts are huge and very sturdy and the water is calm in case anyone is wondering. Easy pickup at the Hoover Damn Lodge.

Not wheelchair accessible - I wouldn't say it's wheelchair accessible! The van you take from the lodge can't fit a wheelchair. You couldn't push a wheelchair onto the boat nor is there a place to situate the wheelchair on the boat.

Dam is fantastic - 5 stars and a big shout out to Marty the shuttle driver. Thanks for being so kind, friendly and really genuinely welcoming. The rest of the tour, 5 stars for the grandeur of the dam and the privilege of seeing it from the base quite spectacular. Tour guide 1 star. Was annoying and never shut up for us to enjoy the grandeur of the Colorado River. Stupid crass jokes and constant verbal diarrhea. If you go take your earplugs!
