Travelers have flocked to the dam—situated on the Nevada and Arizona border—for decades. Today, it receives more than 1 million annual visitors.

Just do the thing!
We had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, looked out for everyone’s safety, and educated us about the bikes so that we were all comfortable using it regardless of experience. I highly recommend this tour! An excellent way to explore Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.

Excellent day trop.
If you have not been to the Grand Canyon, then ymthis is a great trip to take. Seeing the Canyon is specular. The views are amazing, you will not forget the magnificent sights. The Hoover Dam is equally impressive but not the same as the Canyon. The driver was professional, no issues with our bus. It was comfortable, clean and we were offered water at every stop. The guide worked hard to be entertaining. I would say both gave 100%. I would take another tour with this company.

Q:How much time do you need at Hoover Dam?
A:
To properly visit the Hoover Dam, you’ll need to give yourself at least an hour so you can see both the Hoover Dam itself and the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. If you want to explore the powerplant and the passageways inside the dam, allow two hours or more.
Q:Can you visit Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon in one day?
A:
Yes, you can visit the Hoover Dam and theGrand Canyon in one day as these big attractions are only about a 40-minute car ride from each other. Plus, many tours—like those on Viator—offer day trips to both attractions so you don’t have to do the drive yourself.
Q:How far is it to walk across the Hoover Dam?
A:
If you’re thinking about walking across the Hoover Dam, keep in mind that it’s about a half-a-mile walk round-trip, so you’ll want to wear comfortable shoes. The walk gives you views of the Hoover Dam, the Colorado River, and Lake Mead, but you can only access the area during daylight hours.
Q:Can you still drive across Hoover Dam?
A:
Yes (and no), you can still drive across the Hoover Dam to visit the viewpoints on the Arizona side, but anyone driving from US Highway 93 can’t cross the dam anymore. If you’re crossing to see the Arizona viewpoints, you’ll have to turn your car around and re-enter Nevada to get to US Highway 93.
