Las Vegas Float Trips

The top to bottom tour of the Hoover Dam was an amazing experience. Went there with my mom, aunt, and sister. We had a private tour all for ourselves which made pacing better given we had older adults and us being out of shape. Travis, our guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us going with jokes along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in engineering marvels and who want a more private experience of the Hoover Dam.

The guide gave an interesting and informative talk covering history and what a workday of the Gauge Station worker was like. This is a Natural History and Geology buff’s dream. Great pace and the guide does what he can to keep you comfortable: wet towels, cool water and a few opportunities to get in the water. Safe way to get out in the wilderness. Give yourself extra time to get there from Las Vegas, traffic could cause you to miss the trip if you drive to the meeting area. Plus you might want to stop in at the park visitor center. Note: If you drive, you will stop at the ranger station…the ranger had to see our reservation where it says park entry is included.

The trip was great. Our driver,Izzy, was super, very informative. The boat driver/guide was also super. Friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this trip.

This trip was such a wonderful experience from meeting Scott to being driven to meet our boat and driver, Sarah. Both were very welcoming and fun to talk to. Sarah made us feel like we were old friends she was sharing her favorite place with!!! The goody bags, the refreshing towels, the flowing cold water and the commentary about the dam and canyon were all great!! We felt like the company thought of everything to make this a fun memory. We highly recommend this trip!!

Great trip Izzy was very informative about the area.

Be sure to take everything you'll need whether kayaking or rafting (sunscreen, sunshirts, hat, towels if wanted, water bottles). Rafting got us up close and personal to Dam.

If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Hoover Dam beyond simply stopping for photos, this tour is absolutely worth it!What really sets this tour apart is that you get to experience the dam from multiple perspectives. Walking across the top of Hoover Dam is impressive on its own, but going inside the power plant and then floating down the Colorado River at the base of the dam gives you an entirely new appreciation for its incredible engineering and history.Our guide, Calvin, was fantastic and truly made the experience even better. As fellow East Coasters, it was fun learning that he originally came from the East Coast as well. We happened to be the first pickup of the morning, so before heading to collect the rest of the group, Calvin offered to “take the long way” to the Las Vegas Strip. Since it was our first time visiting Las Vegas, this was such an unexpected and thoughtful gesture. He certainly didn’t have to do that, but he pointed out landmarks, shared recommendations for things to see and do during our trip, and gave us a wonderful introduction to the city before the tour had even officially begun. That small act of kindness really set the tone for the rest of the day.Throughout the tour, Calvin was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely enthusiastic. He shared fascinating facts about Hoover Dam and the surrounding area, kept everyone engaged, and made sure no question went unanswered.The power plant portion of the tour is led by Hoover Dam staff rather than your Pink Jeep Tours guide. While our particular guide delivered the information in a more straightforward, monotone style, the tour itself was fascinating. Seeing the massive generators up close and learning how Hoover Dam produces electricity gave us an even greater appreciation for this incredible feat of engineering. Since this portion of the experience is operated separately, it isn’t a reflection of Pink Jeep Tours. Calvin continued to make the overall experience exceptional from beginning to end.The highlight of the day, however, was definitely the river float. Looking up at Hoover Dam from the Colorado River is a perspective that very few people get to experience, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The peaceful boat ride offered incredible photo opportunities and a completely different view than you can get from the top of the dam.We ended the trip with lunch provided from Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop. Calvin took us to a park with gazebo’s to eat in the shade. I had The Bobbie. It was like a thanksgiving dinner with stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce, and mayo. Honestly, I wasn’t sure about this sandwich at first but ended up LOVING IT! The hotel we were staying at had this sandwich shop in their food court. I went back 3 times and each time I got The Bobbie!A few tips for future visitors:* Wear comfortable walking shoes, as there is a fair amount of walking. * Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, especially during the summer months. * Don’t forget your camera—you’ll want photos from every angle! ** If you’re visiting during the warmer months, consider wearing a bathing suit under your clothes. Depending on the schedule and river conditions, there may be time for a quick swim in the Colorado River with Hoover Dam as your backdrop—a pretty unforgettable experience!Overall, this was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. If you’re already planning to visit Hoover Dam, I highly recommend choosing this tour instead of simply driving over it. Seeing the dam from the top, inside, and from the river below gives you a whole new appreciation for this remarkable feat of engineering.A special thank you to Calvin for making an already incredible experience even more enjoyable. His knowledge, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm made this one of the highlights of our Las Vegas vacation.

We had such a fun day visiting the Emerald Cave. Don, our guide, made the trip so fun and informative. He took lots of pix for us all. We got the chance to swim in the river (cold but oh so good), and just generally enjoy the scenery.

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 trip was amazing. Angela is the best, very informative and super friendly. She has a great sense of humor. I am so glad I booked this tour. I plan to book it again in the future.

What a great experience. Our driver, Iggy?, was super informative and passionate about his love of nature. Our guide, Kathleen, was so informative and it's obvious that she loves the area and her job. It was over 100° but we kept cool with lots of provided water, cool wet cloths, and optional dips in the river. The trip also included a yummy lunch in a take-home color bag. I highly recommend this trip.

This was a fun water raft experience. Seeing the Hoover Dam from that view was exceptional. Best part cooling off in the river. Great tour guides.

This was a great way to explore the Hoover Dam. Everyone was friendly and professional. I really enjoyed this experience.

Very beautiful experience with magnificent views starting with the Hoover Dam. Both the driver and the guide were very friendly and full of knowledge that they shared. And then, being in the middle of nature only 1.5 hours from Las Vegas, it's quite incredible.

5 star helicopter company is amazing with great people, awesome experience! The kayak trip was also awesome with amazing people. Highly recommend

Had a great time with awesome views. Our guide Nico shared everything about the area and it's history along with great snacks too
