Go for the combo: Travel to the Grand Canyon West Rim from Las Vegas by luxury Tour Trekker, fly in a helicopter to the bottom of the Canyon, cruise down the Colorado River, then spend time at the West Rim. It's one of the best ways to experience the Grand Canyon, as traveling by SUV ensures tour group numbers will be small and you'll enjoy a more personalized visit.
Highlights
- Luxury Tour Trekker and helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon West Rim from Las Vegas
- Drive through Joshua Tree Forest
- Round-trip helicopter descent to the canyon floor
- 15-minute pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River
- Scenic views over the Grand Canyon from Eagle Point and Guano Point
- Opportunity to take the Grand Canyon Skywalk (not included)
- Deli-style lunch

What You Can Expect
Hoover Dam
On your SUV/helicopter combo day trip you'll also visit Boulder City and travel over the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge. As you travel along Diamond Bar Road (Indian Hwy), you'll experience the beauty of the Joshua Tree Forest framed by the towering Grand Wash Cliffs as you approach the West Rim. The drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is approximately 2.5 hours each way.
On the crest of the Grand Canyon, your helicopter awaits you for your seven-minute, 4,000-foot (1,200-meter) descent to the mighty Colorado River below. You'll then board a pontoon boat for a commentated boat ride down the Colorado River which lasts around 15 minutes.
Back at the top of the canyon once again, you will have approximately 3.5 hours to explore, using the complimentary shuttle service to Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Ranch.
- Visit Guano Point for fantastic views of the Colorado River
- Explore the Indian Village at Eagle Point to gain insights into Native American culture
- Take an optional stroll on the Grand Canyon Skywalk (not included, approximately US$30), the newest attraction on the West Rim, for amazingly unobstructed views over the canyon

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly driver, John.
June 2013
This was an awesome trip , and a good 10 hours long. We met Shannon our tour guide with Pink Jeep Tours who was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
We did the Hoover Dam, drove through the Mojabi desert and saw the most amazing things in form of wildlife and the the famous Joshua Trees.
The Grand Canyon was absolutely jaw dropping, but unfortunately it was a very windy day and our Helicopter ride back down 4000 ft to the bottom of the canyon was very very turbulant and the same on the way up. When you land we went for a 15 minute ride on the mighty Colorado river.
All the staff were friendly and made the whole trip memerable and enjoyable. I would recommend this trip to anyone and I would go again.
