Interesting tour :) - Well organized, but the wrong time given on Viator site. Check the time of pick up before the tour for right information. The driver waited for us, thank you so much! Interesting tour, I recommend it.

Great Choice - Beautiful scenic van ride with Scott to the raft sight and back. The raft ride made for one beautiful and informative day with our raft pilot, Bob. Loved it. Thanks!

Great nature break from Vegas - April was an ideal time for this boat trip as it was warm, but not too hot. We saw birds and cacti and learned about the history of the dam. It was a great nature break from my time in Vegas. Our tour guide rose to the occasion when a nearby canoe capsized with a family in it (not part of our tour group). He helped them get back to dry land. The dam is located near Boulder, NV a town which has a historic feel and a great view of Lake Mead. I was picked up in Las Vegas by the LINQ and got to see highlights of Boulder on the drive in. Highly recommended!

Really nice raft trip! Beautiful scenery and friendly people. - This trip was one of the highlights of my trip to Las Vegas. And I say that even though there was an incident which meant I didn't get the trip I'd signed up for. I'd intended to take the Postcard tour where the rafts put in just below the dam. However, the government agency responsible for the dam unexpectedly denied the company access to the put in point at the last minute. The company called an audible and offered us a raft trip starting and ending at Willow Beach some miles down the river. (A full refund would have been another alternative.) We chose the alternate trip and enjoyed it immensely. Seeing the black canyon by river was marvelous, it was really beautiful. The raft pilot/tour guide (Sarah) was friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. Overall it was a relaxing and chill experience out on the raft-a great way to forget about the real world for an hour or two. We did not get to see the Hoover Dam from the vantage point of the river but that hardly mattered-maybe next time? Furthermore, the van transportation to/from Las Vegas was convenient. The pick-up instructions were clearly communicated by email and real time texts, both in the days prior to our tour and the morning of. Our driver was personable and a safe driver. If you're in the area, book a trip with these guys, it will be worth it!

Canceled tour - I will not give star. Our tour was canceled whick was not their fault as the road going to the raft was closed by the government for reason we didn't know. They couldn't tell us. So hoping we could get our refund back soon.
