Tour Sampler & Descriptions
Colorado River Rafting Tour
This unique day trip aboard a motor-assisted raft lets visitors leisurely enjoy and share in the history, desert wildlife and beauty of the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. Board a large comfortable 30-passenger raft as your tour launches from the base of the Hoover Dam. This extremely rare view of the Hoover Dam is a wondrous sight. During this excursion, experienced and knowledgeable guides will describe the history of this magnificent geological area. The high canyon walls will leave you breathless. Be prepared to see Desert Big Horn Sheep, Osprey, and Great Blue Herons in their natural setting. Bring your camera and plenty of film to create your own memories of the wonders of nature.
The rafts will stop along the shore to give you a chance to swim or play in the cool clear waters below Hoover Dam. Enjoy the box lunch provided while watching and listening to the sights and sounds of this magnificent desert. Your trip will end on the Arizona side of the river at Willow Beach. Here you can shop for distinctive remembrances of your trip before boarding the tour buses for the return trip over the crest of the Hoover Dam to your Las Vegas hotel.
