Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Hoover Dam raft tour? I wanna take my kids.

A: There’s no strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 4 years old. Make sure they can wear a life jacket comfortably, though! It’s a pretty chill tour, so kids usually have a blast learning about the dam while enjoying the scenery.

Q: What should I wear for this raft tour? Is it super wet?

A: You’ll want to wear something comfortable and quick-drying! Expect to get a little splash from the paddles, but it’s not a soaking ride. Also, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat since you’ll be out in the sun for an hour and a half. Flip-flops or sandals are fine too!

Q: What if the weather’s bad? Can we reschedule our tour?

A: Good question! If weather conditions are unsafe, they’ll usually reschedule for you. Just give them a call if you’re worried, and they’ll work with you to find a new date. They’re pretty flexible as long as you give them a heads up!

Just did the Hoover Dam raft tour—amazing views!

I went on the Hoover Dam raft tour last weekend, and it was seriously one of the best experiences I’ve had in Vegas! The guides were super knowledgeable about the dam’s history, and the Black Canyon views are just stunning. We saw some bighorn sheep up on the cliffs too! The fruit cups and cookies they served were a nice touch. Totally recommend this as a gift for anyone who loves nature or history!

Thinking about gifting the Hoover Dam tour...

I’m considering getting the 1.5-hour raft tour for my friend’s birthday. She loves the outdoors but has never been to the Hoover Dam. Is it suitable for beginners? How intense is the rafting? I don’t want her to freak out!
