Super Boat Tour
1. Bus service: On Time, fast, driver entertained us along the way.
2. Meeting Point: Boat operators were ready at the Hoover Dam Lodge. We quickly loaded in the vans, and we were off.
3. Boat: Clean and ready. Cool wet neck towels were welcomed, as was the bag of water, chips, cookie and apple. Boat operator trolled slowing, moving back and forth on the Colorado River to highlight Dam construction points and natural rock formations.
4. Recommend: Bring water shoes or Crocks or sandals because you have a chance to wade into the river and even take a dip.

Unexpected fun!
The river was beautiful and the tour, including Sarah the ‘raft captain’ and Victor the raft bus driver, were excellent… but the highlight was definitely Angela the tour bus driver. She has such great energy and humour she made the whole experience fun and memorable. A gem in the desert. Thanks Angela.

The Hoover Dam & Boulder City
The tour driver Paul was both informative and welcoming. Thanks you too for the free wifi.
The trip out to Dam & Boulder City was comfortable with a nice breeze following us but the ride back was hell with no air-conditioning as it was broken.
Thanks again Paul. Debs
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that Paul was informative and welcoming, and that you appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the scenic ride out to the Hoover Dam and Boulder City. However, we’re truly sorry to hear about the air-conditioning issue on the return trip — that’s certainly not the level of comfort we aim to provide. Your feedback is important and will be shared with our team to ensure better maintenance and guest comfort moving forward.

5/5 – A Fun and Memorable Experience!
This Hoover Dam Raft Float Half-Day Tour was a fantastic experience for me and my son! From the moment we were picked up, everything ran smoothly. Our bus driver Angela was amazing — super friendly, professional, and kept the ride fun with her energy and great attitude.
The raft tour itself was beautiful and peaceful. Seeing the Hoover Dam and Black Canyon from the water was unforgettable, and the food and drinks provided were a nice bonus.
Definitely a fun and unique way to spend the day with family. Highly recommend it!
