Itinéraire
Votre visite en petit groupe commence par un ramassage depuis votre Strip de Las Vegas ou votre hôtel du centre-ville vers 8 heures. Vous partirez ensuite avec votre guide certifié pour une visite extérieure prolongée du barrage Hoover, en traversant le barrage jusqu'en Arizona, et en traversant le nouveau pont du barrage Hoover, qui se dresse à 900 pieds au-dessus du fleuve Colorado. Les vues depuis le barrage et le pont sont absolument à couper le souffle.
Situé dans le Black Canyon sur le fleuve Colorado, le barrage Hoover était autrefois le plus grand barrage au monde. En explorant, vous verrez sa taille incroyable, son design complexe et l'exploit impressionnant de surmonter les défis du soleil du désert, une rivière traîtresse et des hauteurs imposantes. La construction du barrage a également mené à la création du lac Mead, le plus grand réservoir artificiel d'Amérique du Nord.
Vous traverserez l'impressionnant pont commémoratif Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman, qui s'élève à 900 pieds au-dessus du fleuve Colorado. On a l'impression de voler en hélicoptère, avec la vue imprenable qui s'étend devant soi. Le paysage est absolument à couper le souffle de ce point de vue incroyable.
Depuis le barrage Hoover et le pont commémoratif Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman, vous aurez une vue imprenable sur le puissant fleuve Colorado en contrebas. La rivière serpente à travers le canyon, offrant une perspective à couper le souffle de sa puissance et de sa beauté. C'est un endroit parfait pour admirer l'immensité de cette merveille naturelle.
Avant de retourner à Las Vegas, vous vous arrêterez dans un parc local où, selon les saisons, des troupeaux de moutons d'Amérique descendent des montagnes environnantes pour paître sur l'herbe douce. Au cours de votre visite, votre guide vous fournira des informations fascinantes sur la géologie et l'histoire du barrage, le patrimoine amérindien, la flore et la faune locales, et bien d'autres faits intrigants!

Did a trip to the Hoover Dam with a small group and our guide was Michael. His knowledge and willingness to share information was incredible. Visual experience was brilliant. A must do. Enjoy.
Hi and thanks for the review and comments on Michael. He's a really cool guy, we love him and he loves being a guide. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
The small tour makes it more personal. Captain Kirk was very informative 👏 . He knew us all by name rather quickly. Kirk was a wonderful guide and never made us feel rushed. I'd recommend this tour for people of all ages. Thanks Captain Kirk.
Hi Beth, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Capt Kirk is very cool guy. He loves the west, loves the desert and loves telling people about it. So happy you had a fun time on your Hoover Dam Tour. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Earl was an awesome guide! The Hoover Dam is spectacular. Be sure to take the inside tour.. I didn’t have it on my top 10 list to do, but it should have been. So happy and grateful I got to do it.
Hi and thank you for the review. We must agree, Earl is a wonderful guide and a great person. Thank you so much, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Plant tour and seeing big horn sheep were great. Tour guide Lud was very knowledgeable and friendly. Drive was beautiful. Very informative and enjoyable trip.
Hi Susan, Thank you for the review and so glad you had a fun time on your Hoover Dam tour with Lud. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Art did an amazing job throughout the tour. He was friendly, professional and did a good job narrating along the tour. He is very knowledgeable, providing historical information of Hoover Dam, Boulder City and historic Boulder. He also drove us to different areas, so we could get the photos with the best views and also offered to take the photos. We had a wonderful experience. Well done. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Art!
Tour guide was excellent. Highly recommend. It was our favorite part of our Vegas trip. Picked us up at our hotel.
All the information we received from Micheal he was very informative and we had a great time with him
Hi Suzanne, Thanks for the review and very happy you had a fun time with Michael. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
It was wonderful. I liked how we were kept informed about pickup times. Who our driver would be. Kirk our tour guide was very informative. We loved the Dam tour the small group was awesome. More individual attention. The small group dam tour was well worth the money.
Hi Joyce, Thank you for your review and so happy you enjoyed your tour with Kirk. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
The VIP Hoover Dam trip was all that I had hoped it would be. The van was very comfortable and the tour guide, Jim, got us everywhere safely. Jim was knowledgeable and injected humor into his vast knowledge of the infrastructure and inner workings of construction of the Boulder (now Hoover) Dam. I have mobility issues, and Jim was very kind, helping me out of the van and making sure the pace of the tour was appropriate for me — a true old-school gentleman. We were provided cold water and light snacks on the trip, which was a nice touch. I appreciated that someone from Adventure Photo called the day before the tour to confirm we were still going, and the day of we were called to update us on the approximate time we would be picked up and the name of our driver. I also loved the fact that the only people on our tour were my husband and me, another married couple, and a solo gentleman. It made the tour more intimate and the six of us got along well, cracking jokes and exchanging stories. Near the end of the tour we stopped at a beautiful park and we were fortunate to see live Bighorn sheep grazing on the park’s grass. Such elegant animals! I would highly recommend this Adventure Photo tour. You won’t be sorry!
Hi Janet, Thank you so much for the detailed review. We are delighted you had a nice time on your Hoover Dam Tour with Jim. This will be posted for everyone to see. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Seeing the dam and bridge was cool but the tour was poorly organized. The driver asked if we wanted to stop at a museum in Boulder City but there were 3 couples and we didn't know what the other people wanted to do. The guide/driver should set the itinerary. At the dam, he left it up to the guests what time to return, we had to figure on our own when to call him to pick us up.
Hi Michael, Thanks for joining us. Let me explain, most people don't want a guide with then 100% of the time so we allow you to exlplore on your own for parts of the tour. As far as stops are concerned, there are so many places to see we could stay out on the tour until midnight. Our guides ask you what you want to do so you don't miss a dinner appointment or a show time. We just try to accomodate everyone. As far as the pick up time, they are scheduled times so I'm confused by this comment. Regardless, next time you are in Las Vegas contact me directly and I'll do something special for you. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
