Explore
by Ground, by Helicopter, and by Boat, all in the Same Tour! What
a memorable experience!
On these Grand Canyon West Rim tours, you'll travel by ground in
a small group of only six people with your private guide.
You will ride across the top of Hoover Dam and
stop for photos and then head out across a scenic Mohave Desert
Joshua tree forest and climb up to the remote parts of the Grand
Canyon West Rim, which is a wilderness area of the Hualapai Indian
Reservation. Here you can see the Colorado River 3,000 feet directly
below you! The view across the Canyon from river to plateau top
is over a mile.
You
will then fly down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon by helicopter.
Now you'll board a state-of-the-art Sundance A-Star helicopter for
a dramatic flight down, down, down beside vertical walls into the
depths of the Canyon and land by the banks of the majestic Colorado
River.

Travel by pontoon boat up the Colorado River
You will power up a smooth water section of the Colorado River,
deep inside the Grand Canyon West Rim, and witness the Canyon from
the inside out (up). It's a breathtaking view and you experience
the pristine calm and quiet of the Canyon floor wilderness.
Helicopter out of the Canyon back up to the Rim
Your
boat will take you back to the helicopter where you will be lifted
up, up, up to the Canyon Rim. There you'll have a picnic lunch surrounded
by ultimate canyon views and wide-open spaces. Be sure to watch
for deer, antelope, elk, and mustangs, eagles, and the very rare
California condors.
Drive back to Las Vegas
For the finale of these Grand Canyon West Rim tours, your guide
will drive you back to Las Vegas. As we return to Las Vegas, there
is a scenic stop at the colorful rocks of Rainbow Canyon on the
banks of Lake Mead and then back we go across the Hoover Dam. You'll
be back to Las Vegas in time for dinner and show, or for whatever
else you do when in Vegas.
