Guests board large comfortable rafts that have been carefully constructed with safety in mind. Rafts have multiple air chambers and are outfitted with all of the Coast Guard required and recommended safety equipment.

During this excursion, experienced and knowledgeable guides share 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 Heron in their natural setting.

This tour stops along the shore to give you a chance to enjoy the cool, clear and calm waters below Hoover Dam. You might take this opportunity to enjoy the box lunch provided while watching and listening to the sights and sounds of this magnificent desert.

Your trip ends on the Arizona side of the Colorado River at Willow Beach - the uppermost boundary of Lake Mohave. Here you have the chance to shop for unique souvenirs of your trip before boarding air-conditioned tour buses for the return trip over the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge to our tour desk or your Las Vegas hotel.
