My tour to the West Rim was the best experience. The bus driver was very informative and funny. A full day of lots to see, helicopter and boat down Colorado river and to see Grand Canyon was amazing especially on the Skywalk. This trip I would recommend .

Coach ride was very nice, helicopter flight was surreal. Flying along the West Rim, down along the Colorado River and landing to take a fanastic, 20 minute, bontoon boat ride up and down the river, discussing the area with a Native American from the Hualapai tribe. Meal at Guano Point was fanastic and so were the views. This was a very nice excursion, but be prepared for the very bumpy dirt road ride into and out of the West Rim area.

This was a fabulous day trip. The helicopter ride into the canyon was amazing and the pontoon boat ride on Colorado River was breathtaking. A steep walk from helicopter to boat was not mentioned but plenty of time allowed. Skywalk was bit disappointing as not over steep part of canyon.

Highly recommended - Loved every minute of this adventure. Beside the Grand Canyon being one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited, the experience of the Helicopter down into the Canyon and the Boat ride along the Colorado river was one I will never forget. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Right I normally don't rave about stuff but the simple fact is if you come to vegas you MUST do the 4-1 heli tour it is awesome , special thanks to Michael our pilot , great job landing us in the canyon floor ! -wow it was a thrill of a lifetime. very proffesional job done. wonderful boat trip on the colorado river , if i was to make a suggestion it would be to increase the size of the shaded area for the indian lunches , but that's a trivial matter so I will still give it 10/10

This is a must trip when visiting the Grand Canyon. The trip there in the plane was great, the pilot and ground crew were exeptional. Helicopter ride was fantastic and the cruise down the Colorado river with a local indian as the driver of the boat. Would recommend this to everyone. Food was great for lunch. Nothing to complain about just lots of praise and WOW just pay the money and DO IT. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE and would do it all again.

Our pick up at our hotel was prompt and we were soon on our way to the Colorado River. Our guide for the trip was Dennis who was such a nice guy and what he didnt know about the river/dam/grand canyon wasnt worth knowing! after a brief and amusing safety talk we were on our way down the Colorado. the raft was big,safe and pretty comfortable and is in no way dangerous so its ideal for kids and older people. If you sit at the front of the raft theres a good chance youll get wet...and as it was very sunny (85f) we sat right there and although we did get soaked it was refreshing and an hour later we were dry!! We had our packed lunch at a little beach on the river,caught some sun (there is virtually no shade on this tour) and paddled in the very cold water! a great tour and a great guide too.

Our trip to the Grand Canyon was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday in the USA.
We were picked up by stretch limo at 5.45 am. Went through the check in process and safety procedures at their head office at the airport.
Our pilot was a wonderful young man named Jake and he made us feel very safe and comfortable during our flights to and from the grand canyon. We took off at 7 am and arrived on the banks of the colorado river at 7.45, took a boat ride down the river for about 20 mins and then back into the chopper to go to the top of the canyon. We did our own thing with shuttle buses to different spots. We had the option of doing the skywalk which we did. Then back to the chopper at 11.45 for our return trip. Its capacity was 6 passengers and every body had a turn in the front with Jake. Although the views were excellent in the back too.
Had a blast, its a must do adventure.

ONLY WAY TO SEE GRAND CANYON IS TO GO EARLY MORNING IN HELICOPTER WITH BOAST RIDE AT BOTTOM OF CANYON. FANTASTIC DAY OUT STARTED WITH YOUNG, SAVVY and INFORMATIVE PILOT, CONTINUED WITH AMAZING ADVENTURE TO BOTTOM OF CANYON AND COLORADO RIVER BOAT ROAD AND THEN TIME TO EXPLORE FROM TOP OF CANYON ON BUS AND FOOT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My husband and I really enjoyed our day at the Grand Canyon. We had an early start as we were picked up at 6am but we were given juice and a snack after check in at the Airbridge terminal.
The bus trip was very comfortable and our driver Dwayne eas hilarious and kepy everybody amused on the tripthere and back.
The helicopter ride was the highlight and the canyon is absolutely beautiful. we also enjoyed the boat ride on the Colorado river.
The only complaint we have is that we had very little time for the Skywalk (amazing) as we had to have lunch.We were hungry! It was about two o'clock by this time and we had to be back on the bus by three.
I would highly recommend this tour and it was the highlight of our visit to Las Vegas.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I'm not a fan of small planes, but this really did change my mind! The pilot was really friendly and gave us excellent information once we landed. First up we did a helicopter ride to the Colorado River and then a boat ride, then back to the top where we had plenty of free time to explore the West Rim on our own - both Eagle Point, Guano Point. I would highly recommend this tour!

Doing what: Black Canyon River Rafting Tour
The Black Canyon River float was a highlight of our Las Vegas trip. Transportation to and from our hotel to the Colorado River was easy and efficient. The time on the river was glorious, with many natural wonders to wow us. We saw bald eagles, golden eagles, peregrine falcon, blue heron, as well as several sightings of big horn sheep. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. There were 11 in our group, 8 of these in their 20's. This contingent would have preferred less talk and more quiet time on the raft to savor views. I understood where they were coming from but appreciated the education nonetheless. Thanks to all at Viator for a memorable river trip.

An absolutely fabulous day!! The Grand Canyon is spectacular. We also added on the helicopter flight and Colorado River boat trip which was definitely worth it. The tour company were extremely well organised and professional. Would definitely recommend.
