Adventurous Christmas! Go Rafting With Santa!

Everyone knows Christmas Eve is a BIG day for jolly old St. Nick—and this year he’s going to be even busier than ever. On Tuesday, Dec. 24, families can join Black Canyon River Adventures for an unforgettable 12-mile “Rafting with Santa” journey along the Colorado River.

This special trip is being offered for one day only this year and will include:
None other than Santa Claus himself piloting the raft on this smooth-water river adventure
Ground transportation provided by one of Santa’s elves
Gifts for each passenger
Boxed lunch and bottled water for a picnic stop on a sandy beach along the way
Complimentary cookies, hot chocolate and Christmas music at Willow Beach Marina, where the river trip ends

This unique excursion takes approximately 6.5 hours and departs from the base of Hoover Dam aboard a motor-assisted raft. Guests will enjoy and learn about the history, desert wildlife and beauty in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. The tour meets at the Hacienda Hotel in Boulder City; out-of-town guests may arrange for round-trip transportation from their hotel.

The “Rafting with Santa” tour departs at 10 a.m.; guests are asked to check in by 9:30 a.m. at the West Side entrance of the Hacienda Hotel. The cost for adults (16 years and older) is $87.95; for children 13 to 15 years, $82.95 and for children 5 to 12 years, $53.95. Children under 5 are free. Round-trip transportation to and from a Las Vegas-area hotel is $44 per person.
