Testimonials
My husband and I loved coming away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas to appreciate the magnificent and peaceful beauty of the Colorado River. The vistas were breathtaking, and the water was clean and refreshing on such a hot day. Our party of 12 was nice and enjoyable. Adam, our tour guide, was a mine of information, and I enjoyed learning about the flora and the history of this place. I highly suggest it!!
