Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures have returned for the warmer months for its 41st consecutive season. These thrilling water escapades, led by Lake Mead Mohave Adventures, will be available starting Feb. 28, with two experiences available to make a splash.
Embark on exciting water adventures this season with Lake Mead Mohave Adventures’ (LMMA) Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures. These unique activities have been a popular tourist attraction for decades, drawing travelers from across the United States.
“For more than four decades, these tours have provided countless visitors with premier views of the Hoover Dam and Mike O’Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge,” says Chad Taylor, director of Marketing and Guest Experience, in a press release. “From first-time rafters to guests returning season after season, Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures guarantees to provide visitors with lifelong memories.”
All raft tours offer an unparalleled experience along the stunning Black Canyon National Water Trail, meandering through the majestic Colorado River. Guests are treated to up-close photo opportunities at the base of the iconic Hoover Dam beneath the Mike O’Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (the widest single-arch concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere). Along the way, expert guides share their knowledge of the area’s geological wonders and native wildlife, including desert bighorn sheep, ospreys and great blue herons.
Two captivating tour options are available for visitors, including The Hoover Dam Raft Tour and The Hoover Dam Postcard Raft Tour. Both tours take place every Wednesday to Sunday.
The Hoover Dam Raft Tour is a day trip adventure beginning with check-in at Lake Mead RV Village at 9:30 a.m. Guests will then embark on a thrilling three-hour rafting excursion, stopping along the serene shores below Hoover Dam.
