Float through Black Canyon on a 3-hour Colorado River raft trip, with lunch, canyon scenery, and optional round-trip transportation.

About this tour

Trade Las Vegas’s bustle for the quiet sweep of Black Canyon, where desert cliffs rise above the Colorado River. This 3-hour motorized raft trip offers a refreshing change of pace and a close-up look at the scenery around Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.

Set out on the river with live commentary from a local guide, taking in rugged canyon walls and broad desert views along the way. The experience includes a lunch stop and time to swim, so you can slow down and enjoy the water as well as the landscape. Hoover Dam views from Lake Mead add another memorable perspective to the outing.

Choose to drive yourself or select round-trip transportation, with hotel pickup and drop-off available for the transport option. The raft trip itself lasts 3 hours; with transportation, plan for 6 hours door to door. Book your Las Vegas Black Canyon motorized raft tour for a laid-back day on the Colorado River.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.84 from 419 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 29% in Las Vegas means it ranks in the top 29% of tours in Las Vegas by this score.
