Hoover Dam & Lake Mead Cruise
Your tour will begin at the legendary Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. Courtesy hotel pick-up and drop-off services are available to get you to this location. The sheer immensity of the dam is breathtaking and is sure to make you wonder how the engineers of the 1930’s managed to conceive and construct something of this magnitude. Once you have witnessed it, it is hard to forget the sight of the hills of the southwestern desert that seem to stretch all the way to the horizon in all directions. Stunning views of the Memorial Bridge and the Penstock Intake Towers constantly remind you of the scale of this man-made wonder.
The dam is surrounded by steep canyons. Climb aboard the Desert Princess, a classic Mississippi-style paddlewheeler and bask in the magnificence of these slopes. The view of the Hoover Dam from the paddlewheeler is arguably the most delightful view in the tour. Enjoy your meal atop the serene lake and experience the place in its full glory. The southern desert tends to be quite hot in the afternoons, but our unlimited supply of bottled water will keep you hydrated throughout. If you choose the dinner package, you will be presented with a completely different, yet equally spectacular, view of the dam and the lake. This is a tour you simply cannot miss.
