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, a motorcoach awaits you 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. You'll 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.
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.
Note: Cameras and cellphones are not allowed onto the Skywalk Bridge.
