Leisurely. downside: choice of loud rock music throughout - Very nice to do once. Leisurely.
The only downside was the choice of music was very loud + inescapable... Playing in every single level and outside on the decks. The channel was not our taste is it was blaring a heavy Rock channel (AC/DC style). For the nature of the 85 percent+ older people who were on it, recommend at least one area that doesn't have loud music and choose a less rock station. We had to use ear plugs throughout.
Otherwise it's a great way to see the lake and the back of the Hoover dam.

If you love the water, this tour is for you! - Scheduled our tour for a Tuesday at 1pm. The tour was not crowded at all, and the parking was close to the entry of the dock. This was the best way to see the Dam. The view was amazing, and a prerecorded guide entertains you with facts as you cruise along the water.

Travel to location nightmare - It was absolutely awful communication with the staff to find their location. We took an Uber from Las Vegas. I called the day before to make sure we had the correct address for Uber, rude on the phone. The directions they told us put us in Boulder City, 6 miles away. We contacted them and the location they told us still was not where the boat was located. It is down a winding dirt road with no signs to find them. When we told them our dilemma with locating them, very rude and unapologetic. The boat ride was very nice but the experience getting there was a nightmare. Good Luck getting an Uber to find you to get you back!
