The glass, 70-foot (21-meter) long, open-air Skywalk is suspended 4,000 feet (1,219 m) above the canyon floor, providing 720-degree views on all sides. Needless to say, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is an exhilarating experience. The cantilever design was created by David Jin and can support the weight of 71 fully loaded 747 airplanes (that’s a whopping 71 million pounds - 32 000 tons!), withstand winds up to 100 mph (160 kmh) and survive a magnitude 8.0 earthquake.

Doing what: Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
The trip to the Grand Canyon West at the Hualapai Nation was a fascinating day for my wife and myself. Viator delivered a high quality service in all the aspects of the experience. Punctuality, a constant care for the well being of the clients, along with a high standard of competence to inform them about the history of the entire area of Las Vegas and the exquisite beauty and grandeur of the Grand Canyon attractions, including the grandiose of the engineering projects for the construction of The Hoover Dam and the Skywalk.
THOMAS, the bus driver who conducted us from the beginning to the end of our trip, provided us with the most caring, competent and reliable assistance. He truly loves people and enjoys what he does. This was our impression and we would appreciate that you would let him know about it. This man could be on Broadway! Best regards, Marcia and Antonio Leite [New York City]

Doing what: Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
We loved the trip!! Our driver, Walter, was such a treat, the helicoptor ride was spectacular, and although I was terrified, I did the Skywalk-yikes. We had never been to the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam and are now thrilled that we booked this tour.

Doing what: Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
Our bus driver to the canyon was brilliant (Awesome Anthony!!) and he made the tour that much better! It was a long day but totally worth it. The Hoover Dam Stop wasn't quite what I expected but the views at the Grand Canyon more than made up for it. We also did the skywalk which was brilliant and definately recommended if you aren't too afraid of heights! A must do when in or near Vegas!!
