Enjoy the splendor of West Rim Grand Canyon on an airplane tour with Scenic Airlines. You'll depart from our Boulder City terminal and fly to the tribal lands of the Hualapai Nation. The tour begins with a 35-minute flight aboard a sightseeing airplane complete with amazing sights of the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River.
Upon landing, guests will take a complimentary air-conditioned shuttle along the rim of Grand Canyon West. This allows guests to explore multiple amazing landscapes and activities at the Grand Canyon in their own time. The self-guided segment of your tour lasts approximately 4 hours.
The complimentary air-conditioned shuttle is available to take you to Eagle Point. This location is home to Indian Village at Eagle Point, which highlights the Hualapai Tribe culture, and offers breathtaking and unique views of the West Rim Grand Canyon.
Eagle Point also contains the Hualapai’s famous Grand Canyon Skywalk. This glass-bottomed structure, which is horseshoe-shaped, floats over the canyon below. Also known as the Grand Canyon glass bridge, you will feel as if you are walking on air thousands of feet above the Colorado River below when you experience this one-of-a-kind attraction!
You can also take the shuttle to Guano Point, which offers a 360-degree view of the historical remains of an aerial tramway, enhancing the surreal vantage point.
