Kombinationstur till Grand Canyons West Rim med lyxig stadsjeep, helikopter och båt
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

- Here are some suggestions on what to take along to make your Skywalk experience truly memorable:
- A little patience! And maybe your iPod...waits in line of about 30 minutes are common
- Sunscreen and a hat. There is shade at the Skywalk, however elsewhere there is very little shade, and the sun can really burn out there
- Comfortable shoes and light clothing. Spring and summer are hot in the desert
- You cannot take your camera or any personal effects on the Skywalk. Be prepared to store your belongings in the lockers at the Skywalk.
A long and tiring day but brilliant. A very knowledgable driver who didn't stop giving you information all day. Helicopter ride down to the canyon floor was awesome as was the boat ride. Highly recommend.
Our tour guide, Debbie, was very knowledgeable, flexible and a lot of fun. The vehicle was very comfortable. Movie on the way back was a neat way to see one of the sights in another way. Just wish our helicopter pilot has provided some narration during our flights.
It was just a bit deceiving in reference to being on the Luxury SUV, it was not for the main portion of the Grand Canyon. You had to board a large coach along with a lot of other people. If that had just been stated in the ad I would have been fine, but definitely let down by this aspect of the tour. Everything else was great. Very knowledgeable guide, boat ride was short but good, and the helicopter ride was AWESOME!
Excellent tour from start to finish. Pick up was in a nice roomy minivan, or luxury SUV as they describe. Driver was very informative and gave us lots of great narration about the areas we were travelling through and all about the Grand Canyon and how the West Rim came to be. We arrived around 30 minutes before the crowds and did the helicopter ride without a wait. An excellent experience and my wife was not looking forward to the helicopter ride as she has a fear of flying, but really enjoyed the trip and views. We landed by the Colorado River and then took the boat ride. In a perfect world would have liked a longer boat ride not an option I am aware of but it was still ample to see the Colorado River and the view from the bottom of the Canyon to the Rim. We then got back in the helicopter and took a different route back to the landing zone. As we got back the queues for the helicopter rides were much bigger and up to a thirty minute wait. Then it was off to the area where the Skywalk is and some great views and we did the Skywalk to. On the way back we went via the Hoover Dam. We got to drive over it and then we stopped above it for some photos. Great day all in all and highly recommend.
I love this tour.. the helicopter ride was amazing, the best experienced I ever had. It was a small group of 6 with a very knowledgeable staff I forgot his name, sorry. He was very nice, funny and knows his things. We don't feel rush at all, in fact we feel like we had so much time with all the stops we made. It was the best experience everyone must try.
