Grand Canyon West, located on Hualapai Tribal land, offers a unique perspective of one of the world's most iconic natural wonders. This area is famous for its breathtaking vistas, rugged landscapes, and immersive cultural experiences, making it a must-visit destination for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.
Named for the striking eagle-shaped rock formation visible from the rim, Eagle Point is a breathtaking viewpoint at Grand Canyon West. Visitors can explore the Native American village and learn about the Hualapai Tribe’s rich heritage while taking in sweeping canyon views.
The Skywalk at Eagle Point is an engineering marvel, extending 70 feet beyond the canyon's rim and towering 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. The glass-bottom bridge offers an adrenaline-pumping experience, allowing visitors to look straight down into the vast depths of the Grand Canyon.
Guano Point is renowned for its panoramic, 360-degree views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River far below. This rugged and natural lookout provides the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos and immerse yourself in the grandeur of the canyon.

Traveler reviews
Breathtaking
This was an expensive trip worth every penny. A one off experience I’ll never forget. After the minefield of options and filtering reviews we decided to do the vegas departure round trip with Maverick Helicopters and loved every minute of it. No driving at all except a quick bus at Grand Canyon and Uber to the airport. Shared the helicopter with 2 other couples. Lots of in-air time. Got reseated at each landing too so everyone got to sit all around the helicopter. Had plenty of adventure time at stops and time to snack. Advice…wear sunscreen and bring a large cold water each. The ride was flawless, friendly and lots of facts and knowledge all in good humour from the pilot. In a single word…AWESOME!
AWESOME!!!
If you are on the fence..........just go! It is well worth the money.....not cheap, but you will be glad you did it.
All super
Our pilot was super nice, he gave us some interesting information during the flight. A great experience!
