Full description
Enjoy complimentary transport from the Las Vegas Strip to the nearby air terminal. Embark with an unforgettable narrated helicopter tour and see historic landmarks such as Hoover Dam, Black Canyon, Lake Mead, and the mighty Colorado River from the skies above. Upon entering the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, soar over Hualapai Native American land and pass over the glass-bottomed Skywalk Bridge. As your helicopter descends 4,000 feet down to the canyon floor, take in the magnificent beauty of the canyon walls surrounding you.
On the bank beside the Colorado River, one can witness first hand the geological history of the rock formations within the West Rim's canyon walls. Experience beautiful views of the amazing Colorado River as it flows along the canyon floor. You'll have ample time to explore this ancient region of Hualapai land. Champagne and a light meal are served under a “Ramada”, a traditional Hualapai Indian shelter.
Enjoy a different scenic flight back to the terminal where ground transport will be awaiting you. Enjoy the short ride to the base of the Hoover Dam where you will begin your 11 mile rafting journey down the winding Colorado River. The raft heads downstream through spectacular and historic Black Canyon. Formed over millions of years by volcanic activity, the canyon rises nearly 2,000 feet from the river's edge.
