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. With the option to self‑drive or take round‑trip transport, this experience is designed to be flexible and easy.
