Relaxing trip to the Hoover Dam. Informational. Perfect amount of time spent on excursion. Very knowledgeable and helpful crew. A photo taken upon boarding where your able to purchase for 10.00.

We didn't get the chance to go. First the boat was down for repairs so had to change dates, then it was to windy to take it out. But they were very nice to work with and we received a full refund. We may have to try on another visit to Vegas.

A relaxing boat ride with snacks and history. Great views, great food, and overall great time. Bring binoculars and come hungry to order the yummy snacks

Bring a hat if you choose the upper deck n bring bug spray. This is a cashless situation so debit or credit cards only. Bring cash to tip at the bar on level 2

Nice boat ride. Very friendly staff. Good narratives about Hoover Dam and Lake Mead if you are outside of the cabin and can hear it. Wish they didn’t play music on the return to dock. The quiet while looking at the wonderful view would have been nice.

You have to get a boarding pass before getting on the boat. Even if you have a digital ticket. Were here early but because we didn't stop and get a paper pass,we had to move to the back of line and no seats were available outside. Poor communication and those directions should be on the digital ticket. Booked this trip about a month ago.

It was a beautiful day on Lake Meade, staff were fantastic, the bartender needed additional help taking food and drink orders. I stood in line for 25 minutes to order food

It was a great experience but the voice over narration is annoying and unnecessary. The music choice was spotty.
Dianne_M, Mar 2026
Great trip with an informative background to the history. Refreshments good & staff very helpful on the trip & in the shop. Make sure to book your return taxi on arrival location difficult to find.

This was a nice relaxing narrative/informative boat ride on Lake Meade to tour the Hoover Dam. It was such a beautiful scenery.

It was an amazing trip. My husband and I took my sister and brother in law for a fun outing and it truly was. Great staff friendly and responsive to the needs of the passengers. Gift shop was really cute with a free shot glass if you buy a drink on the boat. Scenery was beautiful.
My only wish was that there was an actual person who shared facts and history about lake mead and the dam. The audio they use was low and hard to hear.

Great. Very nice people. Helpful... especially Brenda. The boat ride was nice. Too much music.. I enjoyed it but wanted to go around the whole lake.

Good experience. Great way to see the Hoover Dam as a later in the day option while in Las Vegas. Cruise ship was smooth.
Karen_D, Oct 2025
It was absolutely awful communication with the staff to find their location. We took an Uber from Las Vegas. I called the day before to make sure we had the correct address for Uber, rude on the phone. The directions they told us put us in Boulder City, 6 miles away. We contacted them and the location they told us still was not where the boat was located. It is down a winding dirt road with no signs to find them. When we told them our dilemma with locating them, very rude and unapologetic. The boat ride was very nice but the experience getting there was a nightmare. Good Luck getting an Uber to find you to get you back!

Fun and informative. We decided to do this cruise to celebrate our 31st anniversary. We had fun and the crew made it special by congratulating us
Leo_D, Aug 2025
Peaceful and interesting cruise with great views of the Hoover Dam. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I highly recommend.
VANESSA_V, Aug 2025
Scheduled our tour for a Tuesday at 1pm. The tour was not crowded at all, and the parking was close to the entry of the dock. This was the best way to see the Dam. The view was amazing, and a prerecorded guide entertains you with facts as you cruise along the water.
Brian_A, Aug 2025
Quick trip out to see the dam and bridge and back. Unique vantage point. Staff was friendly and snacks/food was affordable and good.
Terrance_E, Jul 2025
Great staff everyone was so friendly and the cruise was very informative. The cruise was great all around.
Martina_F, Jul 2025
The cruise was fun and educational with some good views of the mountains and hover Dam. Drinks souvenirs, and cruise is resonably priced.
John_S, Jun 2025
Booked this event twice and each time cancelled by the venue vendor. Very disappointing because we set aside time for the cruise
Rachel_N, Jun 2025
We made a last minute reservation and are so happy we did! The cruise was great. We went with 3 adults and 1 kiddo and all of us had a fun experience. The boat ride is smooth and it was really cool to see everything from the water and learn about the history of the area. The food on board was affordable and yummy. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re traveling to the area!

What a great adventure! Even my teenagers were sharing their experience with friends. Nice pace, friendly people and unexpected gift shop.
