Tour Description
Grand Canyon West offers unique and exciting adventures you won’t find anywhere else and this is the day you get to experience all of them! Join us for a day of exploration and discovery, starting with complimentary shuttle service from your Las Vegas hotel to our bus depot for a short check-in process.
Your first stop on your journey is the O’Callaghan-Tillman Bridge. The second highest bridge in the United States, it sits nearly 900 feet above the Colorado River of the Black Canyon, offering an eye-popping view of Hoover Dam below it and extinct volcanoes such as Fortification Hill in the distance. Grab your camera and capture the view!
Your journey continues as you turn Eastward and come face to face with thousands of Joshua Trees. A landscape thought to be centuries old, you are now entering Hualapai Indian Tribal Lands. This Grand Canyon park’s star attraction is undoubtedly the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a cantilevered glass-bottomed bridge jutting 70’ out from the lip of the Grand Canyon and hovering high above its floor. The sensation is bizarre, but exhilarating! And if you think that’s hard to top, climb aboard our state of the art helicopter for a thrilling descent 4,000 feet down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon! A short canyon trail leads to the riverside docks, where pontoon boats wait to take you on a relaxing smooth water float on the Colorado River.
After re-boarding your helicopter for your flight back to the rim, take the opportunity to grab lunch (redeemable by voucher included in your tour price) at one of the food venues at Eagle or Guano Point. Time permitting, you can also tour the Eagle Point Indian Village, featuring replicas of tipis, hogans and other traditional Native American dwellings.
You won’t believe how much you were able to see and do before boarding your touring coach for the return to Las Vegas and shuttle back to your hotel.
