Join us on our Grand Voyager Rim to River with VIP Skywalk Pass tour from Las Vegas. You will be picked up from your Las Vegas Hotel and shuttled to our Boulder City Terminal for check-in. You will then board your sightseeing airplane and fly 35 minutes to the Grand Canyon's West Rim. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Hoover Dam, Colorado River, and Lake Mead while relaxing on your flight. Upon arrival at the Grand Canyon West airport, you will board a helicopter, taking you on a ride to the Canyon floor.
Take a light hike to the base of the Colorado River and board a pontoon boat. Following that, sit back and relax on a one-mile boat trip on the majestic Colorado River, then return to the helipad for your flight back to the rim of the Canyon.
At the rim, a motorcoach awaits you to take you to the first stop, Eagle Point. You'll experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass-bottom bridge suspended 70 feet over the edge. The VIP Skywalk pass reduces the wait time in line and gets you closer to the front. Once completed, you can tour the rest of Eagle Point and take in the views of the eagle-like rock formation and the beautiful colored walls of the Grand Canyon.
If time permits, proceed to Guano Point for more picturesque views before returning to Las Vegas. If you get hungry at the Canyon, guests can purchase a meal at one of the Grand Canyon restaurants or cafe options.
Note: Cameras and cellphones are not allowed onto the Skywalk Bridge.
