Experience the thrill of the Grand Canyon like never before with the Grand Canyon West Rim Skywalk Adventure Tour. Start with a scenic flight from Las Vegas, soaring above iconic landmarks like the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Land at the canyon's edge and travel by helicopter to the awe-inspiring Colorado River floor, then enjoy a peaceful pontoon boat ride surrounded by the majesty of the canyon walls. After your river adventure, step onto the legendary glass-bottom Skywalk that suspends you 70 feet over the canyon rim—adrenaline and unbeatable photo ops guaranteed! Your premium access pass lets you explore Eagle Point and its breathtaking rock formations. Enjoy a delicious boxed meal, and—if time permits—take in amazing vistas at Guano Point before your return. Perfect for thrill-seekers and bucket list chasers alike!
This tour is the most all-encompassing way to explore the Grand Canyon West Rim! You'll land at the top of Grand Canyon West aboard a sightseeing aircraft, fly to the bottom of the canyon aboard a helicopter, float down the Colorado River, and stand in the sky as you walk on the Grand Canyon Skywalk glass bridge.
Join us on our Grand Voyager Rim to River with Skywalk tour from Las Vegas. Arrive at our Boulder City Terminal for check-in, then board your sightseeing airplane and fly 35 minutes to the Grand Canyon's West Rim. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Hoover Dam, Colorado River, and Lake Mead while relaxing on your flight. Upon arrival at the Grand Canyon West airport, you will board a helicopter that will fly you all the way to the bottom of the canyon.
After the helicopter lands, make a short hike to the bank of the Colorado River where a pontoon boat awaits. Sit back and relax on a one-mile boat trip between the canyon walls on the majestic Colorado River, then return to the helipad for your flight back to the surface of the canyon.
At the rim, passengers will receive a Premium Access Pass for entry into the park. Shuttle transportation awaits to take you to the first stop, Eagle Point. Here you'll experience the Skywalk, an incredible glass-bottom bridge suspended 70 feet over the edge. Your pass includes entry onto the Skywalk, so you can walk out atop the glass floor and feel as though you are standing in the air between the canyon walls! Once completed, you can tour the rest of Eagle Point and take in the views of the eagle-like rock formation and the beautiful colored walls of the Grand Canyon. A boxed meal is included to enjoy during your trip.
If time permits, proceed to Guano Point for more picturesque views before returning to Las Vegas. If you get hungry at the West Rim, guests can purchase a meal at one of the Grand Canyon restaurants or cafe options.
