"From the moment we were picked up, we were thoroughly impressed by how organized everything was - to run a tour as smoothly as the one we experienced.

Our pilot was very knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor and made our outing, that much more enjoyable. It was pretty clear that he loved what he was doing and took an interest in ensuring everyone was safe and had a great time! And we certainly did--we saw hot springs, delighted by the unexpected waterfalls, watched great blue herons, and were mesmerized by the magnificent walls of the Black Canyon. We were lucky to spot a desert big horn sheep too!

We want to thank you for a truly great experience, one that we will never forget.

All involved should be commended on their commitment to excellent customer service!"

Colorado River Raft Tours

This is a unique day trip aboard a motor-assisted raft which allows the visitor to leisurely enjoy and share in the history, desert wildlife and beauty in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River.

Black Canyon/Willow Beach River Adventures will provide round trip transportation from various Las Vegas hotels if needed or you can choose to meet us at our check-in desk located in the Hacienda Hotel & Casino on Highway 93 just outside of historic Boulder City. You will then be transported on our tour buses to the launch area at the base of the Hoover Dam. This is an extremely rare view of the Hoover Dam that very few people have the opportunity to see. At this time, you will board our large comfortable rafts which have been carefully constructed with your party's safety in mind. They have multiple air chambers and are outfitted with all of the Coast Guard required and recommended safety equipment.

During this excursion, our experienced and knowledgeable guides will share with you the history of this magnificent geological area. The high canyon walls will leave you breathless. Be prepared to see Desert Big Horn Sheep, Osprey, and Great Blue Heron in their natural setting. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because it is seldom you will have an opportunity such as this to view the wonders of nature.

Our rafts will stop along the shore to give you a chance to swim or play in the cool clear waters below Hoover Dam. You might take this opportunity to enjoy the box lunch provided while watching and listening to the sights and sounds of this magnificent desert.

Your trip will end on the Arizona side of the river at Willow Beach. Here you will have the chance to shop for distinctive remembrances of your trip before boarding our comfortable tour buses for the return trip over the crest of the Hoover Dam to our office or your Las Vegas hotel.

This extraordinary adventure begins at 9:30 am daily, at the check-in desk, just outside of Las Vegas near the Hoover Dam.
