Description

Unwind on a 14-mile smooth water rafting trip with the Hoover Dam River Rafting Adventure tour, which kicks off at the base of the iconic Hoover Dam and Bypass Bridge and includes an exhilarating Grand Canyon helicopter flight. Hop aboard a 5-star Grand Canyon helicopter, featuring forward-facing seats and 180-degree panoramic views for an unforgettable experience.

As you ascend, your expert pilot will share engaging commentary about the stunning aerial vistas, including the impressive Hoover Dam, Bypass Bridge, and Black Canyon. Fly over the extinct and vibrant volcano, Fortification Hill, before descending into the Grand Canyon's depths. Soar like a golden eagle over the powerful Colorado River, past geological formations that reveal millions of years of history, with cathedral-like buttresses and vividly colored rock pillars around every turn.

Upon leaving the Grand Canyon, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the rugged Mojave Desert wilderness's striking rock formations. After landing back at Harry Reid Airport in Las Vegas, you will be taken to the Hoover Dam Lodge in Boulder City, where you’ll reach the launch area at the base of the awe-inspiring Hoover Dam and the newly constructed Bypass Bridge.

Embark on a spacious and comfortable river raft, where your knowledgeable guide will greet you. The towering walls of Black Canyon will astound you, so be sure to bring your camera. Keep an eye out for desert bighorn sheep, osprey, and great blue herons in their natural habitats. The raft will make stops at secluded Colorado River beaches, allowing you to swim or paddle in the refreshingly cool, clear waters.

Savor a picnic box lunch as you soak in the sights and sounds of the magnificent Black Canyon and the surrounding desert. Your journey concludes on the Arizona side of the river at Willow Beach, where you'll have the opportunity to shop for unique souvenirs before returning to your Las Vegas hotel.
