7/25/26 My friend…read morebooked us a Hoover Dam tour while we were in Vegas for the weekend. On the email confirmation, it said the parking was free but when we arrived, we had to pay $15 to get in. This part was a bit misleading for purchasers. Also, we did not anticipate dirt roads leading up to the dock/gangway where we board the cruise/gift shop location. Good thing we did not pop a tire while going in and out of here. There were restrooms on the left side and the gift shop was on the right. I gave the nice lady our confirmation name for the reservation and she gave us two passes for the cruise. We had some time to browse the gift shop before boarding. I was not aware there were 3 levels of the cruise which was really neat. I don't think we even set foot on the 1st floor. We quickly got a table on the second floor where the bar was and later, visited the 3rd "baking" floor to get better views. It was a nice education experience. It was my first time here so it was definitely refreshing to see a lake of water in the middle of the dry desert. Even though you could see how much the water level has decreased over time, it still provides a wonderful scenic view of the place. We greatly enjoy the cruise, friendly staff members and the gift shop.

On the first deck is where the buffet style dinner was available. We were served a wedge salad, dinner rolls and cornbread. For an entree and sides the choices were baked beans, corn, mashed potatoes, breaded catfish, grilled chicken thighs and smoked brisket. Ice water, lemonade and desserts were included. If you want an alcoholic drink the bar is on the middle deck. We truly enjoyed the magnificent views of the lake, mountains, Hoover dam and the sunset.

The person who helped us and got us setup was Jamaica, she was a fantastic host and gave us all the needed information before the trek.

I would be down to do this again, we were able to see a lot and still left some on the table. I would choose a few specific stops on your first trip so you are not rushing in time. We made good time but knew we couldn't mosey along. The first 4 miles is the biggest challenge, after that you just get into the rhythm and cruise. Bring plenty of fluids. The kayaks have spots for carrying a good amount of water and food, to include some bungees on the front for tie down. Water shoes I would recommend with good grip. Overall, a great day on the water, would definitely recommend and would like to enjoy again. Thank you Jamaica and your trusted sidekick for helping us along the experience! Until next time!

My husband and I did the full-day Black Canyon kayak tour with Desert Adventures and I seriously…read morecan't recommend it enough. I grew up in Vegas and have been on this river a ton by boat, and I've also hiked to both Gold Strike and Arizona Hot Springs. Those hikes are super rewarding but honestly brutal. This experience was completely different in the best way. Being able to get out of the river and be steps away from hot springs was amazing, and the views from the water are hands down the best. We met the team bright and early at 5:30am for launch, and everything was super smooth. They shuttled us, got us fitted for life jackets, handled waivers, and gave a quick safety rundown. Launch timing is strict because of the park service, but they made it feel easy and not stressful at all. Definitely be on time, though, because due to this strict timing, they will leave without you. The kayaks were such a game-changer. They were longer touring kayaks with foot-controlled rudders, dry storage, and actual back support. Super comfortable for me and somehow also worked great for my 6'2" husband (he had a larger boat). Since it was just the two of us, our guide Holmes customized the whole day to our pace. He took us to hidden spots I had never seen before, even as a local, and helped us avoid crowds. We did some hiking, rock scrambling, used ropes at Boy Scout Canyon, and explored hot springs that you can only get to from the river. It felt adventurous but still very safe, and he gave great tips the whole time. He also knew so much about the area. History of the Hoover Dam, plants, wildlife, etc. I learned a ton - even as someone who felt familiar with the area. This is exactly why I'm glad we didn't just rent kayaks. Having a guide made it feel like a next-level experience. We got to relax more while he handled the route and found the best spots. We got lucky with perfect early April weather. No wind, super glassy water, and we could see fish deep in the water. The 12 miles honestly felt way easier than expected, especially with how well Holmes guided us through the current so we could just float and chill a lot of the time. They also packed a great lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. You really just need a sun shirt, hat, sunglasses, swimsuit, water shoes, and sunscreen. They take care of the rest. Even though we leaned a little more adventurous, I could totally see this being doable for beginners, too. You don't need to be super athletic to enjoy it. Pickup and cleanup were easy and seamless. They handled everything while I grabbed a snack and relaxed, which honestly made it feel even more special. This was such a cool experience, and I would 100% do it again. Already recommending it to friends, and I would definitely consider doing the overnight version next time.

Desert Adventures is great! We did a self led excursion…read moredown the Colorado river but used this company to drop us off and pick us up! They provided a large trailer with ample shelves and space to put are gear onto. A safety speech was also given. This company has special authorization to enter the Hoover Dam property and take people down to launch from the entrance of the Hoover Dam. They instructed you to move quickly as there was a time limit for getting everyone/everything Into the water and away from the area. The next day, they were prompt with their pick up and helped us load our gear back onto the trailer. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to others.

We went on a plane to see the Grand Canyon. First off, all the staff at the airport were extremely…read morefriendly. The pilot and copilot were friendly. As you board the plane, they tell you where to sit. We ended up in the back of the plane, I'm guessing because my friend was tall and a little heavy, and I'm a little chunky so for weight purposes we got the back. It was not bad as it offered more leg room which the copilot told us which was a nice way of saying, you will balance out the weight for the rest of the people and being on a cane, sit in the back. I was on the left side of the plane which allowed me some great views of the Hoover Dam but not so great views of the Grand Canyon. The people on the right got the best views. The reason for the two stars, when you get on and sit down, they tell you to put on these headphones and to keep them on for the duration of the flight. A majority of the people did not keep them on. There was a little and I mean little history given as you approach the canyon and the rest was loud obnoxious music. Sadly there was NOTHING pointing anything out like, you are now flying over the Grand Canyon or giving you any landmarks to look at. If you did not know the canyon, you would never have know we actually flew over it as it looked a lot like parts of Lake Mead or mountain and desert terrain. It was a decent 1hr 20min flight with music playing in your ears, but I would NOT pay to do this again and if you have never been to the Grand Canyon, I would not recommend this tour. You will learn history like watching a movie but you will not know what you are looking at and if on the left side of the plane, you won't see much exciting landscape. The pilot & copilot add nothing to the information throughout the flight. The pilot flys the plane, the copilot helps him and every so often turns around to give you a thumbs up to make sure you are still alive. Save your money and take a bus tour, you will have better views, you will actually know you are in the Grand Canyon and you won't have to guess about anything you are seeing.
