Grand Canyon West Rim Air and Ground Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
Las Vegas, United States of America
Fly like an executive on a deluxe flight from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West Rim aboard an elite airplane. At the Grand Canyon you can walk out on the glass-bottom Skywalk (additional fee), and you will visit Eagle Point and Guano Point. Additionally, you have the option to take a brief ECO-Star helicopter ride and land 3,500 feet (1066.8 meters) below the rim of the Grand Canyon.
On your flight from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon you'll experience a spectacular bird’s-eye view of lands sacred to the Hualapai Indian tribe. Upon landing at the Grand Canyon West Rim, get ready to witness a true engineering marvel, the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Upgrade and add the Skywalk onto your visit. The Skywalk suspends more than 4,000 feet (1219.2 meters) above the Colorado River and over the edge of the canyon wall; it features a glass-bottom surface on which you can walk to admire the breathtaking panorama.
You'll also enjoy the spectacular views along Eagle Point and receive a brief introduction to Hualapai Indian legends and culture at the Indian village. Your next stop will be Guano Point, a breathtaking observation area overlooking the canyon. Enjoy a meal at Guano Point as you admire the beauty of the canyon.
If you select the helicopter upgrade option, you'll board a premier ECO-Star helicopter for a 6-minute helicopter decent where you'll land 3,500 feet (1,066.8 meters) below the rim. You'll spend approximately 20 minutes on a bluff, where you'll enjoy the mystique and grandeur of the Grand Canyon from the exclusive landing site only 300 feet (91.44 meters) above the mighty Colorado River. Enjoy this breathtaking setting and make sure to bring your camera for one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.
Please note: Per FAA regulations, all passengers 18 years and older will be required to show photo ID such as a driver's license or passport at the time of check-in.

Awesome and well worth the money! My niece and nephew loved the helicopter into the Grand Canyon. Everyone at Maverick were helpful and professional. My only criticisms would be more time at the canyon would have been nice and the people working at the West Rim restaurants were lacking in ability.

Had an amazing experience with Maverick Airlines. We did the helicopter tour into the rim and over the canyon with the skywalk. The day we went it was very quiet so had the canyon near enough to ourslves give or take a few people. The pilot was the safety inspector for Maverick and we felt very safe in the helicopter with him. He was very informative and friendly and helpful. The skywalk had no queue so it was great walking on there with only 5 other people. In the helicopter we all had the chance of sitting in the front but we all had good views even sitting in the back. It was a day I will never forget thank you very much.

Fantastic tour and well worth the money to see one of the Wonders of the World. We done the first trip which was early in the morning. Hotel pickup was on schedule and we had a lovely clear sunny day for the trip.

From the prompt pick-up from the hotel and the helicopter ride into the Canyon, this tour was the highlight of our holiday in Vegas. All of the guides were both helpful and informative. If I could rate this tour higher I would. This is a must if you are travelling to Vegas.
Review by: Frances C, March 2018
We can't recommend this trip highly enough. The whole trip was undertaken by helicopter and this gave us fantastic views of the landscape. Jameson was a great pilot, giving us a geography lesson to make sure we got the best of our time in the air. The trip down to the bottom of the canyon was worth every penny. Thanks for a great day.
Review by: Kim B, January 2018
It was absolutely the best trip I've ever taken. Extremely professional but also very friendly. Worth every penny

Skywalk closed down due to rain.
Review by: thomas g, November 2017
I always wanted to see the Grand canyon, and this was a convenient way to do that from Las Vegas. Very professional staff and top notch facilities. I really enjoyed it. I kind of wished i had opted for the helicopter ride into the Canyon, but maybe next time.
Review by: Robert K, November 2017
Great way to see the Grand Canyon in a timely manner...this is excellent if you only have about 2/3's of a day, and want to see both the top and bottom.
Review by: mel19snape, November 2017
AMAZING such a great trip and so well organised, we did the early trip, well worth getting up for as we were sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon by 8.30am eating our breakfast, had to pinch myself to believe it. Awesome view. We definitely beat the crowds that early morning, best time to go. The pilot of the Maverick airline was so good and informative. Best trip ever
Review by: Ross C, October 2017
The trip is amazing and well worth the money. We flew from Las Vegas to the rim of the Grand Canyon in a 10 seater Cessna plane. Each person had a large window to look out. It was a great experience.
Review by: julespage, October 2017
The tour was really well organised, the pilots friendly and informative, I went on my own but was made to feel welcome and the group and the plane! was small and the flight from Vegas to the Grand Canyon was only 40 minutes. I also took the helicopter flight into the canyon which was great fun and the views were amazing. I would rate this trip five stars, if not for the initial booking where I was offered 10 discount as a new customer, although after registering and going through the payment process, this offer code no longer became available and I ending up paying the full price, apart from this, an incredible experience.
Review by: Sarah M, October 2017
Amazing trip from being picked up at hotel to being dropped back day ran smoothly, enhanced by great pilots and staff along the way. Would highly recommend this trip, an excellent way of getting to the Grand Canyon and seeing the terrain on the way there, plus the skywalk was a great addition to the trip and the helicopter ride into the canyon was amazing - only criticism would be that choosing to do the skywalk and the time spent doing that made our time at the edge of the canyon feel a bit rushed as had to be back by a certain time for the helicopter.
Review by: Misa A, October 2017
This should be on everyone's bucket list!
Review by: Sarah P, October 2017
Great trip and an amazing place. Nice flight with friendly pilot happy to talk through the sights on route. Once there is no tour guide so we found it a bit tricky working out how and where to eat with our ticket included meal and the Sky Walk restaurant was closed on the day we visited. We didn't stop at the 1st bus stop 'ranch' as we were worried we about time but actually ended up back at the airstrip a good half an hour early for the return journey - as did everyone on our flight so we could have spent more time walking the areas. We wasted time at the Skywalk as we were first turned away because the line was too long and then returned haf an hour later and waited in line only to find our passes were fast track so we could have skipped the lines! So if you pay for the skywalk ticket be sure to know this! Also we found out if you sat you don't want photographs you can skip the line inside - which was very slow due to all the group 'photo shoots' on the Skywalk. We hope this review helps you make the most of this trip as it is amazing and well worth the money we paid.

Breathaking, fantastic, well-organized, personnel very diligent and knowledgeable. Thank you, now looking forward to the Hoover Dam experience.
Review by: joejan, September 2017
This trip was including lunch and native Indian entertainment...Dancing ? The pilot's information was not clear so we did not get lunch at all. Regarding Indian dancing.....we saw few native Indian people wearing T- shirts and Jeans sat on the bench....nothing happened. It was very expensive trip therefor huge disappointed. Once in life time dream was not come true for us. We wish to go to South Rim by coach and take the helicopter ride there.
Review by: Darren W, August 2017
Excellent tour and if you haven't seen the Grand Canyon you need to.The tour operator Maverick airlines were first class and very professional.I would definitely recommend this tour.
Review by: m.klarner.93, July 2017
One of the best tours I've ever been on, world class service from everyone in the company. From calling to confirm to the pilots and the experience it was great. Yes it maybe a bit pricey however it is definitely worth it and the best part is your back on the strip in time for lunch while seeing a good chunk of the canyon.
Review by: Sumit G, May 2017
Amazing tour!! Eric...our pilot was really helpful...the weather was bad but he made sure we were safe at all times! Highly recommended for small family groups.
Review by: D_, April 2017
This day trip was great, I got to travel in the cockpit with the pilot and the scenery was stunning.

Review by: Ana T, November 2016
This trip was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end! We enjoyed wonderful views while flying from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon, and our pilot Tim was very friendly and informative. Visiting one of the most amazing natural wonders in the world was once in a lifetime experience. My favorite part of the tour was Eagle Point which is where the Skywalk is. Walking over the glass bottom was breathtaking, but we had so much fun, enjoyed incredible sights, and got plenty of great pictures. Definitely recommended.
Review by: Anonymous, November 2016
This trip was fabulous and very well organized. I mostly enjoyed our airplane flight especially when we were flying over the places such as Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Grand Canyon is a must see place. We were at Guano Point at sunset, and I cannot describe how amazing were views at that time of the day. We also had lunch there and food was delicious. I look forward to taking this tour again in the future!

Maverick airlines provide a professional service, enjoyed my helicopter tour of the West Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Review by: Yvette G, August 2016
Wow! What a trip. Highly recommend all of it - We did the plane trip, the skywalk and the helicopter. Worth every penny -
Review by: Ian B, July 2016
This trip to the Grand Canyon was amazing. Very well organised to pick-up at the hotel all the way through to the end. We had an early start, being picked up at our hotel at 5.50 which meant we got to the Grand Canyon before the crowds and it got too hot.
Review by: Jerry H, July 2016
Good tour overall. We did not eat lunch with the local tribe. We were the first group and had to leave before they were ready to do lunch.
Review by: tersteash, July 2016
Very good way to see the Grand Canyon in a few hours, and the Skywalk tops this off nicely._br/_ We added the helicopter flight into the base of the canyon and had a ball._br/_ Had a bit of a challenge finding the breakfast service at the Skywalk due to a lack of decent signage, so ask you tour guide for clear directions.
Review by: Geoffrey G, July 2016
Amazing morning out, could have been longer as not much time if you do Skywalk and helicopter . Missed out on

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Stewart B, April 2016
Shame about the wet weather on the day, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment of this natural wonder. The pilots Ray and Matt were consummate professionals but fun as well. The flight from Vegas over the Hoover dam was quick and easy and the helicopter flight into the canyon was a real experience._br/_ Well organised - a bonus of having to be picked up at the hotel at 5 a.m. was that it was very quiet at the Canyon and we had the place very much to ourselves and we were back by just after lunchtime to spend the rest of the day inVegas.
Review by: Gary S, April 2016
Awesome trip this must be the best way to see the grand canyon. Achieved three of my bucket list on one day. Flight in a cessna, flight in a helicopter and ssaw the canyon from the top and the bottom. Well organised from start to finish great pilots Tim-plane and Scott - chopper right down to the pick up bus drivers. Skywalk is a must so add it to your trip. If you are thinking that the price is a little high, think again, I'd do this trip again if only just to stand one step away from mortality on the edge of the canyon_br/_ Mother nature at its best. You simply must do this trip. Well done to all to the local tour companies. you guys rock and make peoples dreams come true.

Unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Staff, view, everythjng was a dream.

There are not enough stars. Once in a lifetime.
Review by: Joe W, April 2016
Had a great time and was blown away by the grand canyon! We felt we could have had more time at the various points as things were a bit rushed and in all honestly, having done many tours during our time in vegas, this one was slightly overpriced.
Review by: Charles M, March 2016
This Tour was Everything And even more..this experience definitely exceeded my expectations!
Review by: Frauke T, March 2016
It was great, we were there before all other tourists and can enjoy the great tour!
Review by: Anna S, March 2016
We took the early tour on 17 March 2016, we were picked up at 5.45am and it was well worth the early start. Everything went like clockwork, the pickup, the flight to the Grand Canyon, the helicopter ride. All the staff were polite and helpful and made you feel relaxed. We've never been in a helicopter before. It was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Megan, the pilot of the plane made you feel relaxed, and the helicopter pilot, sorry we forgot his name was brilliant too. They both helped with taking photo's and advising the best shots. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Maverick as a company were brilliant. If you're thinking of doing it, go Maverick. Thankyou for an experience we will never forget. Anna and Dave

OMG... this was the highlight of our trip.Connor was excellant, very smooth ride _br/_ would highly reccommend
Review by: Cynthia M, March 2016
It was everything I wanted it to be and more!!
Review by: Alice W, March 2016
Absolutely amazing tour, would recommend this to anyone, its a much better way to get to the Grand Canyon and means you are walking around with only a few people rather than crowds of people. The little planes can be quite bumpy.
Review by: Elaine E, February 2016
Fantastic, this was a fabulous tour! Expensive because of the additional helicopter trip and skywalk, but worth every penny! Great views from both the plane and helicopter and our guides were very helpful and informative. My 2 teenagers and I loved this trip!
