Itinerary
Lake Las Vegas is a 320-acre reservoir in Henderson, Nevada with a 3,592-acre developed area around it. This tour will drive through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and past Lake Las Vegas.
From here, drivers will continue to Boathouse Cove Road. This scenic trail is known for its distinctive landscape offering rugged shorelines, towering mountain ranges, eventually giving way to a panoramic view of the lake's sparkling waters. The scenic beauty makes it a popular destination for sightseeing, photography, and outdoor exploration! Keep your eyes peeled for Garfield Rock and enjoy a delicious lunch upon arriving to the cove. Remember, you are the driver of your own luxurious, climate-controlled Bronco fully equipped with Android & Apple Car Play and charging capabilities. Your trail leader will teach you safe driving techniques and has recovery gear and winches on hand should you get stuck. All Broncos are also equipped with CB-style radios to communicate throughout the tour experience.
Your adventure begins in the morning at our meeting point at Lake Las Vegas where all drivers will to wagon train to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. About 30 minutes into this drive, we will stop at Redstone Dune Loop Trail. This fiery, rugged, and weathered formation was once integral to a sprawling desert expanse. These dunes, which shaped the landscape, date back one hundred forty million years. Through the ages, geological processes transformed the soft dunes into durable sandstone structures. This will be our first stop along the way to Boathouse Cove Road. A great spot to step out and take some amazing photographs, stretch your legs, and use the facilities as needed.
Boathouse Cove Road is a 9.1-mile backcountry road that runs from Northshore Road south to the Virgin Basin of Lake Mead. Beautiful mountains and washes provide excellent scenery and photo opportunities. Be sure to watch for desert wildlife, including hawks, eagles, bighorn sheep, and more.

Our guide Matt was the best! He took my husband & I off-roading to parts of Lake Mead Nat’l Park that the average tourist doesn’t get to see. He taught us how to use all the bells and whistles on the Ford Bronco in order to safely get up, down, and over any obstacles that we encountered. Matt’s knowledge of the Broncos’ capabilities is amazing, and he freely shared it with us. Matt knows the park very well and answered all of our questions about rock formations, the animals that live there, and the health of the lake. My husband and Matt, both military vets, talked nonstop about their experiences. We left the encounter feeling like we had made a friend. We 100% recommend this adventure!
Matt is the greatest guide! He skillfully navigated my wife and I through a series of land navigation challenges and manned the camera to capture our experiences. He is also a veteran of a veteran owned company. We enjoyed the drive, lunch, and socializing! You can be a novice or expert at off-roading. Matt will show you how to do each obstacle, then jump out and walk you through the process, and help empower you to confidently tackle all challenges. I highly recommend the experience to all ages and skill levels. You can do it, and you should do it because we only live once, right?
This is a fantastic adventure. A must do. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Matt, our leader, is straight up fantastic. He is very knowledgeable of the area and even spied wild horses that we did not see. The bronco we drove was very comfortable and we might even buy one after this experience. At one point, we got to use the 4 wheel drive. We stopped for a beautiful lunch at lake Meade. There were several picture and video opportunities. All in all, great experience. We are so glad we chose this excursion to see the beautiful national park.
With so many activity opens off the Las Vegas Strip, we thank you for choosing us and are glad you had an amazing time!! Come back anytime!
What a fun day! First off, Matt was extremely accommodating to move our tour out an hour since we were traveling a couple of hours for the tour. He had the Bronco running and cooled down for us on arrival. This was a very new and extremely clean Bronco...so much better than the rental Bronco we had!! Beautiful ride out to Lake Mead Recreation Area. We even had the chance to see some of the wild horses! Had a nice picnic lunch (provided by Buck'n Bronco) with a view of the lake and then headed back in...but had a little drama to deal with, (part bad luck-part lack of driver experience)...front tire dipped into a very soft spot on the trail and became a bit lodged and at somewhat of an angle...Matt was very calm, cool and collected and after making sure we were safely out of the Bronco, he showed us some recovery skills and was able to get us back out and running! Not what normally occurs on a tour, but good to know you are in very capable and professional hands if something does go a bit sideways...literally!!! This activity is something so completely opposite of what you normally think of in Vegas...it's a very short drive from the strip, but a world away in what you find...beautiful and pristine nature, a bit of adrenaline and can't wipe the smile off your face FUN!!!
Thank you for choosing us! We are glad you had an amazing experience and hope to see you again!
This was sooo much fun! My wife and I booked in mid-April and we were going to switch out driving midway through, however, she was having so much fun, I just couldn't take it away from her. And besides, I was having a blast just riding along with her... Matt was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He took pictures for us, walked us through the little bit of crawling we had to do, fed us, he was very personable and just an all around great guy and guide. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do something off the beaten path in Vegas. We have been to Vegas countless times over the last 20 years and this will be, without a doubt, one of the best memories we have had.
We are so glad you had an amazing experience and thank you for choosing us!!
So fun. So awesome to experience the desert and colors of the mountain ridges and colors. Had no idea the desert landscape could be so beautiful. And the guide was laid back, informative, and very accommodating
I'm glad you had an incredible experience. Thank you for choosing us!
We had an amazing time. The weather was perfect and the views breathtaking. Our guide Matt even spotted Bighorn Sheep which is very rare to see. Definitely something to experience!! Don’t hesitate, book it.
I'm glad you had a great time! Thank you for joining us!
Matt did a great job of directing and instructing us on the off-road segment. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience so much we want to do it again! The Bronco was an amazing vehicle, easy to manage and fantastic off-road. We were given lunch and lots of snacks and water which was appreciated in the hot desert!
We are glad you had an amazing experience! We hope to see you again if you'd like to rent a vehicle or try one of our other tours!
It was a good offroad trip and exciting ,up steep hills and twisting turns and climbed a huge boulder ,out to lake mead boat launch area the Broncos handled it all with ease ,well worth the time to do
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a wonderful, 5-star review!
What can I say, what a fantastic, unique experience this was. One part Bronco, off roading, mix in a helicopter and a machine gun. I initially thought this was nuts but I can't describe how fun it was. These guys know how to provide an awesome time for their customers! If you are in Vegas with some time to spare, I highly recommend checking this place out!
We are so glad you had an amazing time with us!! Thank you!
