This incredible sightseeing experience brings together three of the most popular activities available at Grand Canyon West! Depart from Papillon’s Boulder City terminal on a scenic helicopter tour over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River before your descent to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You’ll board a pontoon boat that takes guests down the Colorado River on a smooth water float trip between the ancient stone walls. After returning from the river, guests will re-board their comfortable sightseeing helicopter for a thrilling ascent to the rim of Grand Canyon West. There, a shuttle service will provide transportation to Eagle point, the home of the world-famous Grand Canyon Skywalk. Guests will enjoy a VIP front-on-the-line pass for admission and walk out on a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon. A souvenir photograph is included.

After the Skywalk excursion, the guest will return via helicopter to the Boulder City Terminal near Las Vegas. Papillon offers a return transfer to most Las Vegas Strip and Downtown hotels.
