Grand Canyon West Rim Day Trip by Coach, Helicopter and Boat with Optional Skywalk
Las Vegas, United States of America
Travel by coach, helicopter and boat on an action-packed day trip to the Grand Canyon West Rim. It’s one of the Las Vegas tours you can’t miss! You'll ride a helicopter beneath the rim, cruise down the Colorado River, stop at the Hualapai Ranch for a cowboy cookout, and take a scenic drive along the Grand Canyon West Rim after lunch.
Your journey begins with an approximate 3.5-hour drive by luxury air-conditioned motor coach to the Grand Canyon West Rim. At the Grand Canyon, you'll hop aboard a million-dollar A-Star, six-seater helicopter with large vista windows and take a five-minute, slow descent to the Grand Canyon floor, approximately 4,000 feet (1, 200 meters) down!
Once you've reached the canyon floor, you'll board a pontoon boat for a ride down the Colorado River! You'll glide along the walls of the mighty Grand Canyon for approximately 15 minutes, then fly back up to the rim for a shuttle bus tour to Guano Point and Eagle Point.
At Eagle Point, you can view the Hualapai Indian Village and purchase handmade crafts and jewelry to take home with you. Guano Point affords a bird's-eye view of the canyon. Next stop is the Hualapai Ranch for a cowboy cookout! After lunch and a short scenic drive along the Grand Canyon West Rim, you'll head back to Las Vegas by luxury coach.
The fleet of luxury motor coaches are climate controlled and equipped with restrooms, reclining seats, video monitors and over-sized windows for your comfort and convenience
Grand Canyon Skywalk Upgrade: The latest attraction at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon is the glass bridge called the Skywalk. Perched 4,000 feet above the Colorado River, the Skywalk safely sits over the edge of the canyon for panoramic 360 degree views.

Awesome tour! Getting to tour the Grand Canyon by land, air, and sea was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Loved the tour!

On the way out we had a brief photo stop at the Hoover Dam. We had just enough time to walk up the steep incline to the viewing point, take photographs and get down again. On the way to the canyon the driver related a lot of the history about the dam, the area and Las Vegas its self, very interesting. When we arrived at the canyon we had to get checked in for the helicopter tour and was offered the option to do the Sky Walk for 25 even though we had not previously booked it. The ride along the canyon and slowly dropping to the bottom was very smooth. Our Hualapai guide took us up river then cut the engine and let us drift back down. Clear blue sky, warm sun, majestic cliffs and only the odd gurgle of the water to break the silence. Absolutely wonderful. The flight back along the canyon and back to the top was just as smooth as the decent. The Sky Walk was a bit of a disappointment because they let people walk on it with no shoe covers now and the glass has become scratched. This takes away a bit of the magic because your eyes focus on the scratches before taking in the beauty of the valley below. You have to choose what bits you want to do after the helicopter and boat ride, Hualapai Ranch, Eagle Point and Guano Point because there is not enough time to do them all justice. We can not recommend this tour highly enough.

Ruined by lack of organisation down by the river -no helicopters to pick people up -hence we missed lunch and one of the stops !
Review by: Rustynees, March 2018
This was a great tour, we did the helicopter and float down the Colorado and definitely worth the extra cost. After also having done the south rim tout, this tour was by far a closer travel time from Las Vegas

My first time to the States and I had to see The Grand Canyon and I wanted to make it a memory I would never forget. The helicopter ride was amazing, the view spectacular. The boat ride up the Colorado River was a bit of a disaster. The Skyview Walk was definitely a once in a lifetime experience!
Review by: dane.wilson, December 2017
The tour, the sights, the bus driver and the boat ride are all great . The only down side is the rudeness of the helicopter ground staff
Review by: Lemuel G, December 2017
Well worth the money. The helicopter view of the canyon was amazing and the boat ride down the Colorado River was as up close and personal as it gets. The river guide was excellent and well informed. We chose to pass on the Skywalk option. No way it could compare to the views we saw from the chopper and boat. The only downside was the whinny bus driver. Also, the Hoover Dam stop needs to be longer. Twenty minutes is not enough time for a bus load of people to climb the steps up to the bridge, take photos of the dam and get through the restroom line.

This was an amazing day out. On the coach to the Hoover Dam we watched a wonderful video about the building of the dam and then spent approx 30 minutes at the Dam which was so interesting. Then by coach again to the Grand Canyon. Firstly we did our helicopter ride down into the Grand Canyon, we thought we would be terrified but it was really exciting and quite overwhelming. We loved the boat trip on the Colorado River, it was a great opportunity to take in the breathtaking views and our driver, who was a native Indian, was so interesting with stories of the Canyon and his tribe. Then helicopter back to the top, again so exciting and breathtaking views. This really was the highlight of our holiday and worth every penny. We also did the Skywalk which was fun. Cant recommend this trip highly enough, do it, even if you have to borrow the money and make sure you have charged up your smart phone to take plenty of photos and videos.

Even with everything cut short due to extreme heat, we did not have time to do the options we paid for. Literally had to run and stand in line for each option. Spent 3/4 of the time at the GC waiting in line. Then spent 4 hours on a bus home with no AC at 115 degrees.

The helicopter and Boat ride were the highlight of this tour. _br/_ Not enoughj time allowed to do all of tour. Did do Skywalk but missed Ranch and Eagle Point lookout as too rushed by rest of group who did not do helicopter. _br/_ Need to be put with group doing same things.
Review by: Keith M, August 2017
Excellent trip from pick up to drop off. The trip could have been longer as taken to transit centre then on from there. Once at the Grand Canyon there is so much to see, after helicopter and boat ride get on bus to other places. I felt the Skywalk was not worth the money and not as big as I thought it would be, the views of the canyon were breath taking. There are places to take photos but be careful as no safety barriers between you and canyon, you will get told off for being too close to the edge. The Hualapai village/small town is worth a look, just like a town in cowboy films. The other place to visit is a great place for photos of the canyon but we didn't have enough time to visit and explore._br/_ Overall a great trip but it could be longer to visit and explore all areas of tour.
Review by: Kathleen R, June 2017
This trip was the best! Managed to fit it all in one day. Very well organised and excellent value for money. Worth every penny and we enjoyed every minute. The people were all lovely and funny and friendly. Couldn't have had a better experience. The helicopter, boat and skywalk were everything I had hoped for and more.
Review by: Ozzy16, June 2017
A must , not the cheapest but we wouldn't have changed anything at all.Not to busy . It was very hot . The views were amazing and will live with us for a long time.The coach driver whilst informative did have a strange third person delivery style, perhaps an American thing!. A must tour with all the extra's
Review by: Andrew, May 2017
When we arrived we were advised that our helicopter tour may be cancelled due to weather. I accept that this is no fault of Viator or the operator at the Grand Canyon, however it did put a dampener on the overall experience.
Review by: Joan E, April 2017
This tour was truly amazing. We upgraded to the luxury Mercedes Sprinter Minibus, well worth it. The Hoover Dam was fabulous and The Grand Canyon, helicopter, pontoon boat ride and glass skywalk was totally awesome. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Im glad we did this.. the helicopter ride was so awesome!
Review by: Andrea R, January 2017
Beautiful!!!! but the ride on the bus very long especially with children.
Review by: Josephine C, December 2016
This tour comprised of many variations. As such, it turned out to be very messy and disorganized.
Review by: Kim T, December 2016
Just the best day ever. Well organised, great food, just wish we had longer there.
Review by: Michelle H, November 2016
Amazing.. Stunning.. Breathtaking! _br/_ Take every advantage of upgrading to the VIP Private tour 10pax, when you arrive at the tour office check-in. Worth every penny!

Review by: ruthtrimboli, October 2016
The helicopter and boat ride were worthwhile doing to see the canyon from different perspectives especially if like me you like going in helicopters. However, I think the Skywalk is a bit overrated. The views of the canyon were great though I think the views from the south rim are probably better.
Review by: Lianne N, October 2016
This tour was amazing. _br/_ Excellent service too. Tommy our driver was the best and kept the journey entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Liked it a lot.
Review by: Stuart M, September 2016
We had an issue with the Copter flight where we had to wait nearly 1.5 hours to get on the flight but extremely worthwhile we loved it. The waiting time set us back for the rest of the day were we only just got through the skywalk and back to our bus 10 minutes late.There fore we missed the other 2 things to experience at the rim. We didn't think much of the skywalk at all. Would have much preferred to see the other sites.
Review by: Kenneth L, September 2016
Due to a delay in being picked up on the return trip by the helicopter we did not get to see all the sights we wanted to and could only spend a short time at those we did see.
Review by: jenner c, September 2016
perfeito
Review by: Christine L, September 2016
If you want to visit the West rim and see the sights then this is a great trip, but if you want to do the helicopter and boat trip and the skywalk and see the sights, then don't as you won't have time!!
Review by: JUDE M, September 2016
Did a few trips with Viator in the past and they do not disappoint. _br/_ It and #39;s a must do trip though it and #39;s a full On Trip but well worth it. The Service provider was professional

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Stephen N, July 2016
We were oversold and disappointed. There was no way to complete the stops at the western rim based upon what we were sold. The lines were so long and the waits so long that we could not make another meaningful stop after the copter. We raced to the skywalk after the copter and would have had five minutes to enjoy it before having to return by the scheduled time for the trip back to LV. We did attempt the skywalk and it was closed because of lightning. Certainly no fault of Viator but had it been open, there would have been a line, and we would not have made it onto the walk. Viator recommended more than they could deliver. I would not use you again or recommend your company. Feeling totally ripped off. We would have planned the Canyon trip differently if the only event was the copter to the base and very short boat ride followed by another 40 minute wait to get back to the top.

Review by: liz, July 2016
Majestic, awe inspiring once in a life time experience that all should make it on your bucket list item of MUST do and see_br/_ Helicopter was smooth ride. Awesome pilots!_br/_ Short ride on the Colorado river was very nice. Be sure to touch the frigid water. Its blessed. Who knows might bring you luck.....
Review by: Andrew S, June 2016
We absolutely loved the trip. Got a little tight on time with the helicopter, boat and skywalk but it was definitely worth it. They allow you to swim in the Colorado so bring a swimsuit. Everyone we dealt with was incredibly nice and helpful. Highly recommend this excursion.
Review by: Victoria1792, June 2016
This tour was worth every penny. From the moment you get picked up from your hotel to the moment you get dropped off, the company exceeded my expectations with service. This tour is a must do. Bus driver Tommy T is the absolute best!!!!
Review by: Rick B, June 2016
We went on May 2016 for this tour. This is one of the most Amazing trip/activity we choose to do for Vegas. We are well looked after by pleasant and friendly staff. This is the 1st time we went to las vegas was. Highly recommend to do this activity.. We have a pleasant fantastic Driver Louie!! drove us to and from grand canyon and hoover dam, he was giving us plenty of information and pep talk. A good glimpse of grand canyon a quick helicopter ride to the canyon river, raft riding and helicopter back to the top of the canyon. You just have to mindful if you go to west rim canyon that you have 3-4 hours time to spend there and go to the helicopter ride 1st as time goes by quick when you are having a fantastic time. Breath taking views! For the staff Thank you for looking after us.

Realmente estoy muy contenta con esta excursion la unica complicacion que tuve fue para concretar 48hs. Antes por donde me iban a pasar a buscar ya que no hablamos ingles y hubo un malventendido eramos 4 y vinieron a buscar a 2 despues de una discucion aseptaron llevarnos a los 4
Review by: cherrylozada, September 2015
It was amazing but the time was not enough. We were not able to buy souvenir and took a picture at the skywalk (there was a long line up to get in and for a photograph) because we got afraid to miss the bus.
