Individual Scenic Float Trip - With Transportation
This is a unique day trip aboard a motor-assisted raft that 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 select Las Vegas hotel to our offices located in the Hacienda Hotel & Casino on Highway 93 just outside of historic Boulder City. You will then be transported on 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 large comfortable rafts that 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, 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.
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 comfortable tour buses for the return trip over the crest of the Hoover Dam to your Las Vegas hotel.
