Ways to visit Grand Canyon West Rim

The West Rim is an ideal day trip destination from Las Vegas, Nevada. Hike the area, visit the Western-style Hualapai Ranch for food and themed activities, or step onto the famous Grand Canyon Skywalk—a glass bridge near Guano Point that allows visitors to see the Colorado River flowing 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) beneath their feet. The West Rim is a popular destination for helicopter tours from Las Vegas, which give travelers a bird’s-eye view of the canyon and nearby attractions such as the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. For a special treat, opt for a sunset helicopter tour that includes Champagne. Bus tours from Vegas offer a different perspective and sometimes also include a visit to Joshua Tree National Park.

Great 50th birthday experience

From pickup at our hotel, check-in at the heli port up to flight and drop off, the team were professional and made us feel special. Kyle is a brilliant pilot and provided interesting facts about the landscape, scenery and history. It was a lovely clear day, not too hot (yet), and the highlights included the Hoover Dam, canyon drop and flying up the strip of LV.

Grand Canyon West plus Hoover Dam VIP Day Tour from Las Vegas

This tour was great from start to finish. The driver narrated our way through the day with interesting facts. The van was clean and well air conditioned. We were amazed that the Canyon looked different from this view point. Hoover Dam was simply jaw dropping like the Canyon. We were never rushed and took many pictures.

Outstanding experience!
