We had a great time on the Colorado River. Russ was our guide and he was great. Made the trip informative giving us history and pointing out wildlife but did it in a fun way. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone it’s a look from a different perspective.

This raft trip was a lot of fun with amazing views. Captain Ron told us a lot of stories and the history about the river Dam and bridges.

The tour was very informative. We were up close with the Hoover Dam from the bottom of the dam , it showed the dam from a different perspective . Very nice leisurely ride down the river. The shuttle driver and boat captain were both very warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

It was a beautiful scenic tour. Do prepare to get a little wet due to splashing of waves. The captain was very informative. The different people we met on this trip were very friendly and from all over the world

This the best way to experience the dam, get a great visual of the conditions the workers experienced building it while also capturing some awesome photos along the way. If you're luck some of the wildlife will drop by for a photo or two.

Horrible experience with Viator. All their emails say arrival time 10:00 am when in fact it’s 9:30 am so we missed the tour and then Viator told us we could reschedule to the next day and then 30 minutes later said no and refused to refund our money. Total rip-off and I am now disputing the charges. Ended up booking the tour directly with the raft company. That’s the only way to do this. Stay away completely from Viator.
