Useful Information
Hoover Dam Top to Bottom by Luxury SUV with Colorado River Float
The Hoover Dam by Luxury SUV and Colorado River Float offers ample time for exploring this National Historic Landmark and engineering wonder of the world. See live presentations, a fascinating film on the Dam's construction and history, exhibit gallery, observation deck, and venture down to the observation room in the power plant to view the massive generators.
You'll also encounter dramatic views of both the Colorado River and Lake Mead, the largest man-made body of water in the Western Hemisphere. From the Lake Mead Overlook, you're transported to the Colorado River by van on the Lower Portal Road, where construction crews traveled each day. You'll see the original gauging station used to measure water level and flow, and dynamite storage bunkers used during construction.
Then, a guided Colorado River float tour by raft offers you close-up views few people have ever seen of Hoover Dam, mighty power plants, and Black Canyon. You'll also learn historical facts and get an astounding view of the Hoover Dam Bypass project and construction of the nearly 2,000-foot-long bridge spanning over 900 feet above the river. This tour offers absolutely the best photo opportunity of the Hoover Dam and Colorado River!
Please note: due to low water levels at the Hoover Dam, this tour will not be available from October 30, 2012 to November 1, 2012.

This trip was well organized with pick up at our hotel at the time stated. Peter was our guide and he was great! Lots of inside stories that you wouldn't hear if you traveled on your own. We felt a little rushed at the Hoover Dam, we had to wait a half hour for the movie to start and didn't have a lot of time to look thru the exhibits. I don't feel it was Pink Jeep's fault as they aren't allowed inside. Once done inside, Peter continued his part of the tour walking on the dam and exploring. We had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed the Dam from the boat, it wasn't a long ride but gave a different perspective of the Dam. Thank you Pink Jeep and Peter for a memorable trip.

Brilliant trip all round! Our transport arrived on time and tour guide, Chris, was excellent. Friendly and amusing without being OTT, he was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the whole journey and obviously fitted in as much as possible in the time allowed. The Hoover Dam was awesome and we were well impressed both inside and out. The river float was fun and enjoyable. It's not a rafting trip (we hadn't expected that after reading other reviews) but it did last at least half an hour and we saw the dam from a completely different and wow factor perspective. We enjoyed the trip so much that on our return we booked another tour later in our holiday to Zion Park - also brilliant!
