A tour of the Grand Canyon isn't complete until you experience it from the sky, the rim, and the canyon floor. The Grand Voyager with Skywalk tour fulfills all of these requirements, allowing you to witness the canyon in all its grandeur. Start the tour on an airplane flight from the Las Vegas area to the West Rim with views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead along the way. Upon arrival to the West Rim air terminal, guests will board a waiting helicopter for an aerial tour that includes a thrilling descent to the canyon floor, nearly a mile below the rim. A short hike down to the river bank leads to a pontoon boat ready for a one-mile cruise on the Colorado River.
After your time on the canyon floor, a helicopter will return you to the rim where you can then explore the scenic overlook at Eagle Point. Here awaits the experience of a lifetime: walking on air atop the glass-bottomed Skywalk Bridge! Climb aboard a shuttle service to Guano Point where you can be surrounded by nearly 360-degree views of the Grand Canyon. Another scenic airplane flight will return you to Las Vegas, where a shuttle awaits to return you to your Strip hotel. You will have the rare opportunity to view the Grand Canyon from the air, ground, and water when you embark on the incredible Grand Voyager with Skywalk tour.
