Scheduled a surprise trip for my wife and I at sunset.Went through a small training to learn how the tandem cart worked. Very cool that they offer 2 and 4 person carts for groups and kids.Incredibly safe and fun especially right now with the everything closed due to quarantine. Its a great outdoor activity. Especially the lit Up picnic area at the end. I totally recommend packing snacks and drinks.Provided quality time for us.So if youre interested in riding.Take a few pics here and there but enjoy the ride with your friends and family.Its not about how fast you get there.And yes there are bathroom available before you take off on your adventure. USE THE BATHROOM

We did the 3:30 pm tour and had a great time. Staff is excellent, friendly,, helpful and professional. Site is clean and safe. We saw the staff disinfect all surfaces.. It appeared that all the riders, kids to seniors, enjoyed the adventure. We will do it again...and bring others!

What a blast! My wife and I took our 2 sons(5 and 7) lots of fun! It was pretty much all level or slightly down hill with the exception of the last little bit. We will definitely do this again!

I went in February so Im a little bit late with this review. When we got there, we were immediately greeted by super friendly staff. I cant remember her name but she explained everything to us. I went during the sunset and it was amazing. It was a little chilly but it was nice being out in the open and enjoying the beauty of the scenery around us.It was a lot of fun and can be a leg workout once you round the corner toward the end. I suggest picking up speed before the corner otherwise your legs will be in for quite the workout. It really was a fantastic experience and I will definitely go again.

The absolute best experience in Vegas! Worth every penny! Be prepared for a workout towards the end but a smooth pretty good speed downhill is what you can expect for the majority of the ride. There is a pretty lit sitting area while you wait for your train ride back to the station. Definitely would go again in different settings, and I dont do experience several times often.

A must when visiting Vegas my family and I had a blast. The scenery was beautiful. Staff was amazing!! Was recommended other places to visit and to eat close by. I would recommend bringing a light snack to enjoy once you reach your destination. Will be visiting again on my next trip.

Great experience. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Coasting on the rails for most of the trip gives you time to enjoy the ride and scenery, but be prepared to pedal up the incline at the end. It was a bit of a thigh burn for 2 out-of-shape mid-60-yr-olds, but well-worth it.

Definitely going again. Fun place to take visitors. Peddle 4.25 miles, only the last quarter mile uphill. Had lunch at the Dillinger in boulder city. Excellent day.

We reserved the 3:30 time for the tour. Other than being hot 90+, they supplied umbrellas to use if you wanted to have a bit of protection from the sun. We all wore hats. Be sure to bring water and a snack for the wait for the return train ride back we all enjoyed. They have Adirondack chairs to rest. They have 4 person and 2 person rail cars. They are peddle cars, but most of the rail is down hill and we didnt need to peddle, the last half mile is more up hill, do be prepared to peddle. There are locomotives to view, but couldnt get on them. Picture ops. They took a group photo to send to your phone. However, we didnt get it, didnt come through. About 2 hours in all.

A really cool adventure! There is so much more they can do with this experience, which they are working on. Affects from the pandemic have also been an issue for this as well, which we should all be able to understand, so keep in mind that they have just saddled back up this July. I truly had a great time, just wish it was a longer ride for what the price is. Should love to do the later tours next time!

Mariya was amazing! She really kept everyone on task and made our experience perfect. We enjoyed the ride and would recommend. We only wished that the track had been longer.

We had an absolute BLAST!!! it was so much fun and felt amazing being on the tracks and coasting honestly you didnt have to peddle much except for the last stretch it was a good 2 minute workout for your calves lol. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and the train ride back was very nice. Theyre great at social distancing us too I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice adventure away from Vegas. They offer 2 seaters and 4 so theyve got options.

This was a really fun experience! We did the 2 seater bike during the evening. It was cool to see the stars and mountains at night! The actual time cycling on the rail tracks was about 25-30 min and then we had a short break at the end. The break stop was very cute, with patio string lights and tables and chairs for people to rest. The train then picked us up and brought us back to the station. I do wish each bike was started off with a few seconds in-between the next bike, instead of all at once. We had a couple behind us that insisted on tailgating us throughout the ride. Overall, this was a great experience!

My daughter and I,friend went here for my birthday. They give us instruction what to do, tell us how to get on train bike. You wear seatbelts and choose one person to help brake. They give you umbrella for the shade. Ready, Set and Go. Your rolling pedaling have fun there are people in front and back of you.They are space out. Its seem like your going about 35 mph. You can coast some of the ride as well. The last mile it hilly. Its so much to see and a lot of fun.Then you meet up with the others. There a nice seating area while you wait for train to take you back. The 4 and half miles. Dan the conductor gave a lot insight to Boulder City. The staff was great.

Fun outing and nice to be in the sunshine. We enjoyed the rail museum as well and the fun open air train ride back to Boulder City.

My family came into town and we decided to do sunset ride at Rail Explorers. It was such a fun and unique experience. It wasnt too much work to get the bikes moving, but there was one spot towards the end where you get a good workout. I would recommend this activity for everyone!

Nice outdoor family fun mixed with exercise. Great getaway!!! Employees are kind & keep everything clean & safe. Dont forget to check out museum

Fun to do if the weather is good, very good equipment, great personnel operating the ride. Last quarter mile is up hill and requires some work to the finish.

Its a must do Ride to be part of your life....I never ever thought Id be peddling a railroad bike on train tracks!!! So much fun!!!

This was a fun time for the family. You really dont have to pedal much as its mostly downhill. The ride back in the train was fun for the kids. Very covid friendly activity.

Unique experience riding the rails. Staff is very friendly and makes sure you enjoy your trip

7-6-2020Leslie and the team truly made this an experience worth 10 stars!From start to finish we had a great time. They have done an outstanding job of implementing social distance safety without it feeling awkward.The young lady who did the tutorial at the beginning did a good job of explaining what we had to do and how to do it so we had no questions after take off.The team all around was very kind and personable and I loved that! The ride down the tracks was very smooth and the view at sunset is so gorgeous and we enjoyed the picnic area too!The train ride back up was a lot of fun ( the social distance setup on the train was VERY impressive) I really enjoyed talking with the staff members; they were very knowledgeable.I would do this every day if I could. Earliest ride is at 8pm so it wasnt really hot at all.Thank you guys !!

If youre on The Strip and looking to experience some scenery outside the city I highly recommend. I was in a party of 4 and we took the sunset tour. The peddling didnt get difficult until close to the end of ride so not a lot of athletic ability is required. We all wished the ride was a little longer.

Amazing family fun times or just a couples escape. A really fun time and really friendly and informative staff. They have a locomotive museum as well as clean bathrooms. The experience from start to finish is an amazing one that makes it very hard to leave.

I was in the area so I watched people getting in their railcar and taking off. You go one way and the train picks you up a few miles away. Its downhill all the way so anyone can do it . Unique and lots of fun. Beautiful scenery.

Love loved this don t worry if you aren t into peddling alot mostly downhill coasting until the end. Set up for social distancing while waiting for the train to pick you up area well lite at night. Try the lantern ride dress warm and enjoy. Very unique experience take 3 friends

Excellent experience. Realized I was in much better shape than I thought after two mile pedaling of rail cart. Families would love this stop in Boulder City.

I booked this for my family so be had the 4-seater and brought our little lap dog. This was so much fun! I cant recommend this enough. The staff was excellent. They were super friendly and were happy to take photos...and they even gave a treat to our dog. The railbike pretty much cycles itself so you dont have to worry about being in shape. I was also very happy to see the staff all wearing masks and disinfecting the railbikes. I felt very safe the entire time. I do wish I had brought some snacks and drinks for the little picnic area at the end. They should sell some items.

Landed here, for a 39th birthday adventure, with one of my favorite cousins... It did not disappoint! I got a free bday shirt, and the roundtrip experience was well worth the drive from Vegas (about 30 min).**TIP- save your energy for the short uphill ride @ the end! We got excited, because of the mostly downhill ride, and damn near died, after we rounded the mountain, toward the home stretch

They were amazing at this place! So much fun and theyre customer service is fantastic! Highly recommend!

This place is Amazing, the staff are so friendly they make you feel welcome... it was a great experience we will be coming back...

My wife and I booked the rail ride and absolutely LOVED IT!! If youre a rail fan, this is a must do. I loved it...

Great Experience! The Railroad Ride was Fun. Will go back again.

This place was amazing!! Little pricey but so fun!!

My 4 year old and i had a great time! The staff was very kind and engaging. We will definitely go again!

Customer service is 100% went there with my family took the train and paid 10$ adult and 5$ for children if you are trying to go on the little 4 rider kart you must make a reservation and pay 37$ Per person and carry your child on lap the ride is about 30 to 40 minutes since the train and the Karts are on the same track. There isn’t much scenery.

It was sooo nice. 4.5 miles went by with ease! I actually wish it would have been longer!

We had a great time on the Rail Explorers. It is a relatively easy four miles pedaling along the tracks because its downhill and at the end the train takes you back to the station. You are pedaling on tracks above but parallel to the highways and the landscape is so cool. Its about 90 minutes in total time.

I would give this a 5 star but I felt it was a bit overpriced for the overall experience. But if you have $85 burning a hole in your pocket, I would definitely check it out

This is a must do experience in the area. Its beautiful to look at the scenery in a new and exciting way. When you are done you get to relax and wait for the train to bring you back. The staff is beyond amazing. They work so well together and beyond friendly and courteous. We had an issue where we were having trouble getting a car to come get us and take us back to downtown Vegas and they all took it upon themselves to make sure we got a way back. Four or five of them were actively working to get us a ride from Uber, Lyft, or somewhere and promised there is no way we were not getting back into town. This extra step they took meant so much to my wife and I and it was a refreshing customer experience. I cant thank them enough and would recommend everyone get out there and experience the rails because you wont be disappointed.

Highly recommend associates friendly caring very informative. We did not at any time feel unsafe, all rides thoroughly cleaned everyone wearing masks. Sooo much fun! Will be doing again!

Most definitely worth it, & will be back! Such a fun experience, did the 10 pm one . & the view of the stars & mountain side lit by the moon were just PHENOMENAL.The train ride back is literally just as enjoyable !*bring a water atleast if you go in the summer time ! The carts have baskets!*To the staff: You all made the experience 10 times better with the friendliness & comedy ! Thanks again

Super fun. Reasonably priced. Unique experience.

Super awesome we did the moonlight ride it was so much fun they also have a sunset ride and a daytime ride Ians you get to ride the train back

This was friggin amazing, we would do this again. Highly recommend this.

Veeeeeeery cooooool experience! A romantic tour! The scene is so beautiful and ride the rails is the experience weve never had before. The staffs are super friendly and helpful.One thing I want to mention is riding the rail explorer is a little bit noisy, therefore you can bring a pair of earplugs if you mind the noise.

Amazing experience and all the staff was so hospitable!! They even opened the museum section for us to see the train cars before our Pedal Bike experience. We took the sunset excursion, which was beautiful. We got the best of both worlds, sunset and light on way out and night time train ride back by moonlight. They have 2 or 4 seaters that you all pedal, one person is the brake person. We were lucky to have a headwind, especially at the end of ride where your pedaling uphill. They say most of the time you have a headwind which makes pedaling that last stretch harder. We had the 4 seater so we didnt have any trouble at all and most of the time we were coasting. Only about 11 miles from Hoover Dam, must see experience!!!

Another good time and good ride.. only 30 minutes of Las Vegas.

First time on the rail explorers and had a blast. Would definitely recommend it.

Great way to spend an hour or so with friends. The staff at Rail Explorers were all highly motivated and friendly !

Great family adventure. The pedal bikes are fun and easy to use. The train ride back to the station after the ride was a treat.

This was so fun. My Daughter and I had a blast peddling across the desert in the dark. It was so beautiful outside looking at the stars.

Super fun. Highly recommend.

This was the most fun Ive had in a while . For 65 bucks (usually 75, we got a locals discount) you get to ride the rails on a tandem rail bike then ride an open air train back up. The people are awesome.

We has a BLAST at Rail Explorers in Boulder City yesterday.Eight of us celebrating two birthdays and Leslie (fake Mariah) and Mariya (real Mariah) were AMAZING with our group, we enjoyed riding the rails and laughing the whole time. This is a MUST for anyone who wants to experience nature at its finest.Thank you to the ENTIRE staff at Rail Explorers, we WILL be back! :)Donna Brewer

Definitely make this experience part of your visit to this area! We had such fun on the lantern tour! I hope to go 100 more times!

The nighttime lantern ride was really fun ! You get a train ride back to the start after !

We had a great night, peddling these rail cars! Not to much man power to coast 4 miles!

Absolutely amazing! So much fun, very beautiful. We will be back again. It deserves a 10-star rating. Worth the money spent.

Cool ride. Bring water

Fun date night. Staff was super friendly and took their Covid-19 safety seriously. We are glad we packed snacks for our rest stop. It was really romantic to be under the stars having a mini picnic.

It was so much fun. We loved the experience.

Its a big work out. But so much fun.

So much fun, I would definitely recommend

Very disappointed. My husband and I were so excited to do this. The advertising is misleading. Do not think this will take 90 minutes. We were back in our car in just less than an hour. The first 10-15 minutes is fun but then you have to pedal uphill for the last quarter of the journey. We thought once we got to the top wed be able to cruise downhill but you soon discover the ride is over right before you reach it. You run parallel to the expressway most of the ride. The mountains are pretty to look at but we could see the same view driving through the area.The ride needs to be longer and go farther and deeper into the desert. I will say the staff was very friendly. Below is a picture of a view from the car we were riding in... this is right at the beginning.

Nice view while peddling the last part small incline was little tough had stasha start helping

My son is autistic and loves trains. The staff is very understanding. Loved every second of it!!

A fun experience. Pretty much downhill so pedaling is minimum. The staff are fun and knowledgeable. Nothing beats the evening tour, especially with the sunset. Definitely going to bring Vegas visitors down here, especially the ones who want to check out the desert landscape but dont really want to hike.

Really good and fun ride but, yesterday in the morning was too cold. Bring your jacket, hat and gloves. 12/24/19

Great family outing

We had a great time. Very unique experience

It was well organizes and fun ride for my family.

This was really fun and relaxing at the same time.

Its a nice experience fun

Was alot of fun and completely different

My girlfriend and I signed up for this adventure last minute. The only spot available was during their sunset trip. It was beautiful! It was a nice easy trip through beautiful landscape, the crew was super friendly and very helpful. On the train ride back, I proposed to my girlfriend and when the crew found found out that we had just gotten engaged, the conductor gave me an official railroad explorer timepiece! Thank you again to everyone who worked there for a great new experience!

Leslie and her staff were nothing short of stellar. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our ride. The staff made you feel just like family. We will be back in the summer to take our kids on this most enjoyable adventure!

A most enjoyable experience!!! Went out with my husband for a romantic sunset ride and it was ALL THAT! You will begin your excursion with an introduction to your experience, what to expect, how long it may take, and how you return! The majority of your ride will be downhill, but you do have a very small incline, which was actually pretty fun while we peddled away! We had time to take in Mother Nature while we chilled at the picnic area while waiting for our train ride back! It was so peaceful and relaxing, I didnt want to leave! The open train ride back was just as fun as the ride up! A must do for nature lovers! Dont forget your camera and your cooler for you picnic at the end! CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN!

We had a great time. Unique experience. If anything, it was too easy.

This was a lot of fun.

Such a great company! Loved riding the rails. Made me feel like a kid again!

Big fun on narrow gauge, plus standard gauge locos and cars for exploring.

Nice train ride but, wish it was longer. Only felt like it lasted for 15 minutes or so. View was okay, lots of mountains on one side and a gas station on the other side. Really cold in December to stay on the open end of the train though.

Very fun experience! Highly recommended!!

Soo much fun!

Very fun place

Fun thing to do near the Hoover Dam. It was cold and had just rained but still nice. Something very different to do.

Great time riding the rail. Got a free buffet at railroad pass casino for riding the train

Stretch before you go! Not much pedaling in the begining but definitely will need to near the end. Amazing experience through and through!

Great activity to do with friends and family

A must go to attraction for families!

This place was a blast even after they were recovering from all the rain. The staff was friendly and inviting and running around trying to get the groups out. We were a group of 16 and had so much fun. If you are in Vegas and want some time off the strip I highly recommend this!

This was a blast.

This is a great activity to do. I recommend it for anyone looking to do adventures off the Vegas strip.

This was a unique outdoor experience that should definitely be checked out..Rail Explorers Service: All the guides and staff we encountered were so upbeat and friendly, this was Disneyland like service. Instructions on how how the carts operate (how to adjust seats, how the brakes work, seat belt, etc) given by the guides were crystal clear. Once youre strapped in, the guides were awesome with taking pictures before you start pedaling off down the rail. Additionally, the staff on the train ride back were very friendly and always smiling as well.Rail Explorers Experience: Once you start pedaling, the cart moves pretty easily as its geared perfectly. A majority of the 4.5 mile trip is downhill so you can coast a majority of the way. Theres a light uphill grade at the end of the 4.5 mil trip which is right be the railroad pass casino on your left. After you disembark, you wait until the remaining carts arrive. The carts have storage baskets so we brought a cooler with some snacks and some other patrons were smart enough to bring beer. To get back, everyone boards on a Union Pacific Train complete with passenger cars. Theres enclosed cars, but we preferred the open air car on a day with awesome weather.We had a group of 10 with 3 kids so this experience is super family friendly. This was overall a very relaxing ride and is something Id do again with family and friends who were interested in trying it. Check them out before the summer months as they operate when the weather is pedal friendly in Nevada. Buckle Up! =)

Wonderful railway museum with pedal cars that go on the tracks and train rides.

Amazing fun time!

I wanted there to be more, especially for the price. We spent more time on the train ride back to our cars than actually riding the rails, lol. Hopefully soon they can make agreements with Henderson to extend it!

Great place

Really cool experience in the desert
