Activity itinerary

Las Vegas (Pass by)
On the way to Lake Mead our expert guide will tell you all about the Mojave Desert and the adventure we're embarking on. There will be plenty of snacks and water for our journey.
Historic Railroad Hiking Trail
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Our first stop is a delightful hike on the Historic Railway Tunnel Trail with sweeping, panoramic views of Lake Mead. We'll walk where trains roared as they brought the much-needed materials to the Hoover Dam during its construction. Learn about the captivating history of the railway that was essential to the construction of the Hoover Dam. We hike until we're about under the Lake Mead Overlook where we'll get a view that other Hoover Dam tours don't bring you to and with much less people (chances are it will just be us there). This trail is relatively flat and is about a 4.5 mile hike.
Lake Mead Visitor Center
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
At the end of our hike we'll make a quick stop in the Lake Mead Visitor Centre to view their exhibits and grab some souvenirs before heading to the Hoover Dam.
Mike O'callaghan-pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Before we reach the Hoover Dam we’ll walk over the Mike O’Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge where we will have a vantage point overlooking the entire dam. This is an amazing spot to take photos of the Hoover Dam.
Hoover Dam
  • 1h 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Included in the cost of your tour is an official Hoover Dam Power Plant tour provided by the Bureau of Reclamation that will bring you inside of the dam. On this 45 minute guided tour you will take a walk through the original construction tunnels, view a 10 minute film about the history of the Hoover Dam, and visit a viewpoint overlooking a 30 foot (~9.14 metres) diameter penstock where you can feel the vibration created by water rushing through the pipe. After the power plant tour, we’ll give you an hour to visit the visitor centre (included with your power plant tour ticket), gift shop, café, and explore the Hoover Dam. We’ll be nearby if you need anything while you take in everything that one of America’s Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders has to offer.
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
Free Bonus Stop: Complete your tour with a stop at the world-famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas. We’ll swing by for a photo-op to celebrate your successful tour before taking you back to your hotel to wind down.
