After soaring across the Southwestern desert, this helicopter tour will land at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. From there, a shuttle will transport you to one of the most famous lookouts in the Grand Canyon: Eagle Point. In 2007, this gorgeous section of the canyon also became home to the Skywalk at Grand Canyon.

Disembark the shuttle and cut straight to the front of the line with a VIP Skywalk pass. Once on the bridge, stare straight down through the glass bottom for some of the most spectacular views that the Grand Canyon has to offer. For a little perspective, this bridge hangs 70 feet over the rim of the canyon and 4,000 feet above its floor!

Across from the bridge, marvel at Eagle Point - the colossal stone formation that resembles an eagle spreading its wings for flight. Finally, pose for a complimentary souvenir photo of your Skywalk experience before boarding your helicopter for the flight back to Vegas.

Stare in awe at the thousands of feet of steep, layered rock carved out by the river as you're gently floating along.

After docking the boat, re-board your helicopter for an ascent back up to the West Rim of the canyon. A shuttle service will be waiting to transport you to Eagle Point for the Skywalk experience.
