Amazing tour and awesome tour guide. Thank you Faith! - This was an amazing experience and we highly recommend it. Our guide, Faith, went above and beyond expectations. She is highly knowledgeable of both the dam, bypass bridge and river / cave. We were able to see multiple bighorn sheep, including a baby along the river. She took a few extra minutes on the way back and pulled down an exit ramp. There is a wild donkey hanging around the ramp that comes up to the shuttle. He is so friendly, that you are able to get up close and pet him. This tour is awesome and Faith is an incredible guide.

An amazing day - We had an absolutely perfect day, experiencing the Hoover Dam, which is just a wonder, and then kayaking the beautiful river, surrounded by cliffs and ancient looking rock structures. Soren was our expert guide who clearly lives his work. We read about this tour in the New York Times and just happen to have a good fortune of having planned a trip to Las Vegas to see the Eagles at the sphere. The addition of this day, made it one of our best weekend trips ever.

Priceless Day - Sept 8th, We did the Hoover Dam walk with kayaking the Emerald Water. Our amazing guides Sean, Faith & Ray, filled the day with beauty, fun, and so many cool facts. We were kept hydrated with ice cold water and feed a good healthy lunch. Seeing the wild burros was the cherry on top. I highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing trip walking Hoover Dam and kayaking - While in Las Vegas for a convention, some friends and I were looking for something different to do on our one fun day. This trip was just the thing we were looking for! Our tour guides, Faith, Ray and Sean were awesome, from providing kayaking instruction to lots of interesting facts about the Hoober Dam. Lunch and kayak equipment was provided and the scenery was breathtaking! It was the perfect end to our Vegas trip doing something outside the usual Vegas strip...and definitely extraordinary!
