Experience The Journey

This day trip features a motorcoach ride from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West – but this isn’t just a ground tour. Once you arrive at the West Rim, a helicopter will be waiting to fly you to the very bottom of the canyon. From there, you’ll sightsee from the bottom-up on a boat ride along the Colorado River between the massive canyon walls.

The West Rim Grand Canyon Tour with Helicopter and Boat is a fantastic way to experience the Grand Canyon by air, water, and ground. This package includes a roundtrip modern motorcoach ride from your Las Vegas hotel. You’ll be transported in style across the Mojave Desert to the Grand Canyon West, where you’ll explore the entire region from top to bottom.

Upon arrival at the West Rim, you’ll board a helicopter for an exhilarating flight to the very bottom of the canyon. You’ll then walk to the bank of the Colorado River where a pontoon boat will be waiting to take you on a ride along the Colorado River. You’ll float between the massive canyon walls and feel the refreshing spray of the river water. 

You will spend a total of about four hours on both the rim and the canyon floor with time for lunch at your choice of location: the Skywalk Café, the Cowboy Ranch, or the Guano Point BBQ. The price of lunch, all transfers, and admission fees are included in the tour package.
