If you want to experience the beauty of God’s work, I would definitely recommend this tour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to share her knowledge in an interesting and funny way. If you can afford it, book the helicopter ride through the canyon — you won’t regret it!

Well organised, relaxing, informative, seamless tour. Our host Tommy and driver Lala took great care of us and delivered exceptional service. Lunch at the Skywalk restaurant — the local Hualapai cuisine and breathtaking vistas — was a highlight for us all. Highly recommend.

We did the Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour and it was great. Gia was an excellent guide with lots of info, and Wayne made sure we got ice water at each stop. Bucket list trip that didn’t disappoint!

Travel Planning Tips

Why Take a Boat Tour?

From smooth-water cruises to a raft ride below the Hoover Dam, boat tours offer a completely different angle on the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.

Options range widely: glide through the canyon on a pontoon cruise along the Colorado River at the West Rim, take a river raft ride near the Hoover Dam through Black Canyon, or enjoy a paddlewheel or dinner cruise on Lake Mead.

Because the Colorado River sits 4,000 feet down on the canyon floor, the only way to reach it for a West Rim pontoon cruise is by helicopter, so many boat experiences come bundled into combination tours.
