3-Hour Black Canyon Motorized Raft Tour with Optional Transport
Overview
Escape the energy of Las Vegas and trade it for a peaceful journey along the Colorado River on a motorized raft. Starting near the Hoover Dam in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, you enjoy a 3‑hour float through the stunning Black Canyon, with towering cliffs and sweeping desert scenery all around. Along the way, you’ll have time to swim in the river, relax during a lunch stop, and soak in a side of Nevada many visitors never get to see.
