Marty the pick up driver was fantastic!!
Absolutely a great day, the views of the Hoover Dam from below is breathtaking. The guide is informative and shares the knowledge of the work done.
Thank you for your kind words! Seeing Hoover Dam from the river truly is a one-of-a-kind perspective, and we're so glad you enjoyed both the incredible views and the stories behind this remarkable engineering achievement. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the Colorado River!
This was a great way for the family to spend an afternoon. Transportation to and from Las Vegas was super convenient. Our driver, Izzy, was so friendly and provided a lot of interesting facts about the area. Learning about the Hoover Dam and seeing it from below was very interesting. Despite the July heat, the tour was very enjoyable with the cold cloth, water, and snacks provided. The swim in the Colorado River did not disappoint. Such a nice way to explore some of the beauty Nevada has to offer.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are so happy your family enjoyed spending the afternoon with us and that the transportation made the experience convenient. We will be sure to share your kind words with Izzy. We're happy to hear you enjoyed seeing Hoover Dam from below, cooling off in the Colorado River, and experiencing the beauty of Black Canyon. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
It is not the experience you may think it is. You drive through Boulder City. Go down around a steep hill at the bottom let off get on the raft and stay in the whole for a history lesson you stay in the same place not down a river. Not worth the money.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry the experience didn't meet your expectations. Our Postcard Tour is designed as a shorter experience at the base of Hoover Dam, focusing on the history, engineering, and unique perspective of the dam from the Colorado River rather than a longer float through Black Canyon. If you're looking for a more immersive river adventure, we invite you to join us on our Canyon Classic, a 12-mile journey through the breathtaking Black Canyon to Willow Beach, complete with stunning scenery, wildlife viewing, and plenty of time to experience the beauty of the Colorado River.
A fun experience for sure. Good to get a different view of the dam and you get an informative guide to tell you all about what you can see.
Thank you for your 5-star review! Seeing Hoover Dam from the river truly offers a unique perspective that many visitors never get to experience. We're glad you enjoyed the opportunity to view the canyon and dam from a different angle while learning more about the area's history, geology, and wildlife along the way. We appreciate you joining us and hope you'll come back for another adventure on the river in the future!
Beautiful trip, very informative and fun! Estaban went above and beyond to accommodate us and he seemed to know everything about everything between Vegas and the dam. Captain was great. We had lots of fun jumping in the beautiful river. Would recommend.
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable day on the river. Estaban takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and creating a great experience for our guests, so we're happy to hear he made such a positive impression. It's also great to know you enjoyed your time with the captain and had fun taking a dip in the refreshing waters of Black Canyon. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Absolutely amazing, above & beyond care, stunning views, and an incredible team. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you for the amazing 5-star review! We truly appreciate the kind words about our team and are so happy the experience stood out. Those canyon views never disappoint. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the river soon!
It was one of the best experiences we've had as a bachelorette group! Just wonderful! And the perfect length of time to fit in an outdoor activity while in Las Vegas. The driver and guide were both truly amazing! Sarah, the guide and boat driver is so knowledgeable about the dam, the river, and canyon. She's very fun too and makes everything relaxed and enjoyable! Will recommend doing this to anyone I know who visits las Vegas!
Thank you for celebrating with us! We love hearing that your bachelorette group had such a great time on the river. Sarah will be thrilled to hear your kind words! She really enjoys sharing the history of the dam and canyon while keeping the trip fun and relaxed. We appreciate the recommendation!
If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They went out of their way to accommodate us. The pick up at the Linq promenade was well described. As it turned out, we were the only couple on the tour. I was so surprised they didn't cancel us or move it to another time! Marty picked us up and off we went. Marty was attentive and very informative about the towns and the mountains we passed through. I learned the history of the area before we even got to Black Canyon. Paul helped us on the raft and and gave us a great view of Hoover Dam (see pictures). Then we floated down the river and learned about the construction of the Dam and saw water from the volcanic rock coming out at 140°F. I would recommend this company and tour for any age.
What a wonderful 5-star review! Thank you! It sounds like you had a truly special day on the river. Marty and Paul will be so happy to hear they made the trip memorable. We are glad you enjoyed the history, the scenery, and those warm canyon springs along the way.
Aidan and Scott were the best! Scott gave a lot of detail about Boulder City and Aidan was informative as well. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for joining us! It warms us to hear Aidan and Scott made your trip enjoyable and informative. We appreciate the recommendation and 5-star review. Hope to see you again soon!
