Take a smaller group tour to the Grand Canyon by minivan, with the option of taking the brand-new Grand Canyon Skywalk for dizzying 360-degree views.
The three-hour drive to the West Rim by minivan takes you through historic Boulder City and across Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and Fortification Hill. You'll enjoy a 10-minute photo stop at Hoover Dam before continuing on through the Black Canyon and Mojave Desert to the base of Diamond Bar Road.
You'll enter into the heart of Indian Country as you wind your way through one of North America's oldest and largest Joshua tree forests before stopping at Grand Canyon West Airport for a snack or souvenir. Then, hop onboard the Hualapai shuttle for a scenic tour along the canyon rim.
Next stop is Guano Point for your buffet lunch, accompanied by amazing panoramic views of the Colorado River. After lunch and sightseeing, hop back on the shuttle for a trip to the Hualapai Ranch, where you'll see the Wild West Show and maybe enjoy an optional horse ride.
On your homeward journey you'll make a quick stop at a chocolate factory in Dolan Springs, where you can perhaps cool down with some homemade ice cream, before returning to Las Vegas.
Skywalk Upgrade Option:
Enjoy a stop at Eagle Point, the location of the Grand Canyon Skywalk, for your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk over the edge of the Grand Canyon! Stroll along the glass bridge, 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) above the Colorado River.
