Grand Canyon West Rim Combo: Luxury SUV, Helicopter and Boat

Las Vegas, United States of America

Go for the combo: Travel to the Grand Canyon West Rim from Las Vegas by luxury Tour Trekker, fly in a helicopter to the bottom of the Canyon, cruise down the Colorado River, then spend time at the West Rim. It's one of the best ways to experience the Grand Canyon, as traveling by SUV ensures tour group numbers will be small and you'll enjoy a more personalized visit.

On your SUV/helicopter combo day trip you'll also visit Boulder City and travel over the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge. As you travel along Diamond Bar Road (Indian Hwy), you'll experience the beauty of the Joshua Tree Forest framed by the towering Grand Wash Cliffs as you approach the West Rim. The drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is approximately 2.5 hours each way.

On the crest of the Grand Canyon, your helicopter awaits you for your seven-minute, 4,000-foot (1,200-meter) descent to the mighty Colorado River below. You'll then board a pontoon boat for a commentated boat ride down the Colorado River which lasts around 15 minutes.

Back at the top of the canyon once again, you will have approximately 3.5 hours to explore, using the complimentary shuttle service to Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Ranch.

• Visit Guano Point for fantastic views of the Colorado River
• Explore the Indian Village at Eagle Point to gain insights into Native American culture
• Take an optional stroll on the Grand Canyon Skywalk (not included, approximately US$30), the newest attraction on the West Rim, for amazingly unobstructed views over the canyon

This was the most amazing day my husband and I have ever had. I would recommend Pink Jeep Company and Todd was an excellent tour guide. We were picked up on time and the "jeep" was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and we had good comfort stops on our way to the Grand Canyon. This is a spectacular place, the helicopter trip to the bottom of the canyon and the boat ride were amazing, scenery breathtaking. We walked on the Skywalk, I was so proud of myself for overcoming my terrible fear of heights and vertigo. Lunch was very enjoyable in the surroundings. The Hoover Dam was spectacular as well and we took some lovely photos. I feel as though I can't speak highly enough of the tour and would recommend to anyone. A must do for anyone visiting Las Vegas. It was well worth the long trip from New Zealand to experience this day.

This trip was an amazing day. Bruce, the driver/guide was so informative about the Canyon and the surrounding area. The helicopter ride, which was my first, was just awesome. I highly recommend this trip.

Review by: Gill O	November 2011
We had a most wonderful day, our guide Don was superb. The helicopter ride was well organised with minimal waiting time, truly a trip to not be missed. With only 9 of us we were all best friends by the end of the day, much better than a coach load of people and a lot less time wasted picking up and dropping off. Highly recommend it, a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Gill Barbara and Bethany Essex UK Oct 2011

Review by: Susan M	July 2011
We could not have had a better trip. This fun filled day was the highlight of our vegas vacation along with our son getting engaged above the grand canyon.. The four of us were picked up by our tour guide,Scott in our jeep who was beyond terrific. He was extremely knowledgable and professional ,informative throughout the entire trip. We loved the helicopter descent to the floor along with the pontoon ride.What a magnificent trip again, thanks to our great tour guide.Thank you so much, Scott. Thank you also for the great pictures that you took for us. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is looking for a great experience. What an awesome day!!!!!!!

The whole trip was excellent from start to finish. The vehicle was very comfortable and coped with the off-road section of the journey to the Grand Canyon really well. Our driver and guide Mike was really nice and friendly and knew a lot about everything! As there were only 6 of us on the trip (due to 4 people not turning up....what idiots!), he was kind of a father figure for us all! The helicopter ride was amazing and the adrenaline of this was counteracted really well by the chilled out boat ride. Beware though...everyone says it is hot in the Grand Canyon, but when we went in April, it was freezing...so take something warm. The reservation itself had some good views, although it is very commercial. Lunch was good and on the way back, we stopped off at the Hoover dam for some photos and souvenirs. We had originally booked to fly to GC, but heard some terrible stories of really bad turbulence, so we decided to change the trip to this one. So glad we did, we had a wonderful day, a really good laugh and some memories to treasure. The 2.5 hour journey to the GC is fine as it is broken up with some pit stops along the way and way back. Coming back to Vegas, Mike let us all have a nap in the back while he got us home safely. Thoroughly recommended trip. They even picked us up from our hotel which wasn't on their pre-approved list!

Fabulous trip - wonderful guide. I have two kids - age 12 and 13 - and they loved it!

Review by: mary t	March 2011
Fabulous,,,,,,, our tour guide Bob was informative, friendly, fun, lovely. Did the SkyWalk which was amazing. I am terrified of heights but couldn't go home without standing 4000 feet above the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon. Then to go in a helicopter and fly into the canyon was breath taking. It is a trip and experience i will never forget

Review by: Juana Maria V	March 2011
helicopter tour is a scam, not worth it. _br/_ Best of our trip was the guide that we had (Carlos), he explained many interesting things. _/_

Review by: Simon C	August 2010
Great trip. The pink Jeeps are a fun way to travel and the helicopter ride to the bottom is an experience you'll never forget. We also did the optional sky walk and our guide even took photos of us on the sky walk with our camera so we didn't need to buy the expensive official photos.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
Our guide Jennifer was great. Really added to our enjoyment of the trip.The SUV was very comfortable and she arrived at our hotel at exactly the pre arranged time. Overall a great trip.

great time - great driver! The trecker was clean, comfortable and fun

Review by: John O, Ireland	November 2009
It was excellednt. Tour guide was so informative. One of the best trips in years. Even was there while they were filming in the area. Very well organised and while there was delays due to the amount of poeple there it was worth every minute of the wait.

Fantastic once in a lifetime experience! Taking the helicopter & boat option gave you a great view of the Canyon from all aspects.

Review by: Jessica L, United Kingdom	August 2009
This is one of the best trips we have ever been on. Everything was perfect. Great tour guide, made the trip Jeep clean and comfortable and packed with water. Really bonded with the group for the day. Excellent.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	August 2009
This was an absolutely amazing trip. We have done various trips around the world, and this definitely lived up to the others we have done. It was an amazing experience, all done with the greatest of ease. Everything was very professional, and the guide was extremely friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. As with other tours, it is the guides own personal knowlege that makes the trip brilliant.

Review by: Afroditi B, Australia	May 2009
This tour was absolutely fantastic! The tour operator did a great job and made the whole tour amazing. The guide was brilliant, as he was really knowledgeable, friendly and polite, and got involved in taking photos and answering random questions. I absolutely recommend this tour in particular, as the drive there in the luxurious Jeep was very comfortable. The helicopter component was a highlight, as was the ride on the Colorado River. Seeing the Canyon from different perspectives--from the top and the bottom, from the air and the ground--was well worth it. A must do when in Las Vegas.

Review by: Colin V, Malta	April 2009
This was the highlight of my trip, especially the helicopter ride down the Canyon. It was worth the price. Avoid the SkyWalk and take the tour operator's advice of the alternative, it surely pays off. The only downer was the extra 1 and a half hour added to our journey back because of traffic on the Hoover Dam. The rest was absolutely fantastic.

Review by: Barbara S, United States of America	April 2009
The value of this trip was outstanding. We got to do and see so much. It was just an amazing day. The tour company is the greatest. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about LV, the Grand Canyon, and everywhere in between. This IS the trip to take.

Review by: Gillian T, United Kingdom	March 2009
We really enjoyed our trip to the Grand Canyon with Viator. It was extremely well organised and the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon was breathtaking, definitely the best part of the trip. The transport was very comfortable as well, I'd definitely recommend this trip.

Excellent guide, excellent sights, very informative.

Review by: Samantha T	November 2008
Most of the day was spent in the SUV and only 3 hours in total was spent at the Canyon. The small amount of time we had at the canyon was really rushed. We got on the helicopter after waiting a short while then went down into the canyon. The boat ride was a maximum of 15 minutes and you didn't travel any further than what you could see anyway. It was then rush back onto the helicopter and get onto a coach to head towards the Skywalk and Guano point. We were told that if we stopped off at the Skywalk there wouldn't be time to go to Guano point. The views were spectacular at Guano point but the so called BBQ was no such thing! It was slop on a plate or boiled chicken with a small piece of corn on the cob and macaroni cheese for vegetarians, not very impressive and barely warm! School dinners were better. We spent a maximum of 40 minutes at Guano this included eating time. On the way to the canyon we went over the Hoover damn and past Lake mead but had no photograph opportunities, we were told it would be done on the way back but we only stopped briefly because someone asked and we only got to see one side of the dam and we only saw the lake from a distance because I asked for a toilet break. The grand canyon is impressive but I don't think this was worth the money!

Review by: David C, Australia	October 2008
The Grand Canyon is a must see. We debated taking one of the tours that fly there from Vegas, but were deterred by the reviews telling of delays at airports. We were kept waiting 45 minutes from our pickup, but the tour from then was very good. A Hoover dam photo was a plus. The dirt road is a bit of a bore, but it emphasizes the desert nature of the area. The helicopter flight is just fantastic, and the views from the Colorado River are magnificent. The drama of standing just a few feet closer if you're game from this huge drop is mind blowing. The grandeur of the scenery is awe inspiring.

Review by: Ila N, New Zealand	October 2008
Trip was great our driver was excellent, did not rush us at any visit and gave us lots of information. Would highly recommend trip

Review by: Stephen L, United Kingdom	August 2008
Had a brilliant day, really memorable. I would definitely recommend it.

Review by: Graeme P	August 2008
Tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, the grand canyon was nice. Helicopter and Boat were a bit short especially the boat trip. Felt like he took you 200 yards up stream then back again. Just have to watch the temp as it hits over 45C, dry heat sucking all moisture from your body but guide got plenty of water for you. Sky bridge is badly placed and still under construction better views else where in the canyon.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	July 2008
We had a fabulous time. Our guide was fantastic, our children, 14, 11 and 6 had a ball and loved the pink jeep!!! Well done.
