Logistics

Whether you take an air or ground tour, you’re pretty much going to see the following:

  • Lake Mead
  • Hoover Dam
  • Hoover Dam Bypass
  • Colorado River
  • Grand Wash Cliffs
  • West Rim
  • Guano Point
  • Eagle Point
  • Indian Cultural Village
  • Grand Canyon Skywalk

As far as time’s concerned, helicopters get to the West Rim in 45 minutes, airplanes do it in 25 minutes and motor coaches drive it in 2.5 hours.

Wish List

If you can fit the Skywalk in, do it. Too many folks regret not bundling it into their package. The structure is truly phenomenal, letting you walk 70 feet past the edge while lifting you 4K feet above the ground. The West Rim is the only place where you can fly to the bottom in the entire National Park. Continue to “opt up” and take the pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River. These activities are definitely bucket-list material.

What’s Included

Each of the tours I’ve listed is all-inclusive and come with complimentary hotel pick up and drop off, grab-and-go breakfast and lunch. Deluxe helicopter packages come with a Champagne picnic. Expect to be in front of your hotel at most an hour prior to scheduled departure. Always confirm your tour 24 hours in advance.

Book It!

Not comfortable shopping the Internet? Start. I have to be as blunt as possible because I want to save you money. Tours on this page are all legitimate Internet specials. This means you have to book them online in order to get the deal. However, I understand that some find it more re-assuring if a person helps them. If that’s you, call me at 702-530-TOUR and I’ll RSVP it for you at no additional cost while still getting you those web rates.
