Luxurious ride!
These vehicles are awesome! They glide on the roads. The seats are oversized and all leather. The tour guides are fun & knowledgeable. Yes you can take a tour for a lot less but you wouldn't get this kind of intimate experience and the biggest plus is that you share the Trekker with just a few other people.
We decided to check out the Hoover Dam since neither of us have been there since we were young kids. The tour costs $150 per person and it's called - Hoover Dam classic, top to bottom. It's approximately 5 hours from pickup to drop off.
You can get picked up from any hotel on the strip or near it and as mentioned already it's a really smooth ride. We rode with 3 other couples and you get complimentary water & snacks. Nice touch!
This tour is about a 40 minute ride to a secured & gated area where you are picked up by another vehicle that takes you all the way down to your pontoon on the Colorado River. So cool! This was my favorite part of the day :) Its said that only 2% of visitors see the dam from below so it makes it that much more special. Another amazing touch is that there's only one single pontoon that gets you that close so it's extra intimate and no other pontoons or boats are present.
Next you get back on the Trekker and off to the dam where you explore both sides of it before going on your plant tour. The plant tour takes you deep into the dam and learning about how it all came together & all the men who built it is mind blowing. It's an engineering masterpiece. Also prepare yourself for some reality checks as well when you learn about all the men who lost their lives and one dog who is buried there. Certain moments brought me to tears. After the tour you have some time to explore on your own before getting back on the Trekker & heading back into town.
You'll learn something & appreciate all your blessings after this experience. Thank you Pink Jeep for a very special tour!
