One and a half hour slow cruise on stern paddle ship from Hemingway Bay, through the Black Canyon to Hoover Dam. Very friendly crew. Captain let my wife steer ship in control room and stood for pics. food and beverages available throughout cruise, at not too bad prices. Felt cruise was very enjoyable, worth the price, and would recommend! More

My wife and I really enjoyed this hour and a half cruise around Lake Mead. Everything from the friendly people to the boat itself was geared towards a nice leisurely view of the lake, the back of the Hoover Dam and the new Canyon Bridge. The boat is steady,...even on a very windy day...clean and kept-up. There is a reasonably... More

Lake Mead Cruise was so boring. You cruise for what amounts to 2/3 miles...from the dock around the corner to the dam and back the same route. The boat moves so slow. I can Kayak faster. With the size of the lake it would have been nice to actual cruise around it at a faster speed and see more of... More

I actually didn't take a cruise. The roadway access to the boat is not paved. I was afraid that I would get a stone chip to the windshield of my rental car. Nowhere in any of the pamphlets did it say that the road was not paved. More

When me and my husband arrived at the location we didn't know what to expect as far as being classy and romantic seeing the how we were just sitting in a "concession stand" area inside the building. I had set it up as a suprise for my husband for our anniversary as we were visiting Vegas, but were we both... More

My sisters and I took the champagne brunch cruise and were not disappointed. The boat ride was not terribly long which was fine with us because we had a full day of touring planned. We finished eating by the time the boat arrived to the Dam so we went out and got our pictures and stayed on the upper deck... More

This was a marvelous evening. The menu (although set) was lovely with complimentary drinks to start with. The staff were very friendly and very helpfull. My only issue with this cruise was that it did not leave early enough and wasn't long enough to anything else except eat. On arrival you have a photograph taken with the boat behind you... More

The whole time we were cruising on the boat there was an overhead monologue -- loud, very loud and it was hard to understand the recording. No choice if you wanted to hear it or not. Most people were not listening and had to talk louder for their companion to hear them. Soooooo, lots of noise and no peace and... More

It was alot of fun! The people were friendly and the boat had lots of room. Of course, they have the "required" pose for a picture spot before you board the boat. It is $20 for the picture and they include a magnet of the picture for your fridge. Absolutely the best place to take a picture of Hoover Dam... More
