About this tour

The day includes round-trip transportation by deluxe van, bottled water, and all taxes and fees. Choose the river experience that suits your plans, and enjoy a memorable change of pace from the city. The activity order may vary. The kayak option starts at Willow Beach, does not include lunch, and does not travel along the river at the base of Hoover Dam.

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 5.5.
