  • Thrilling helicopter descent 4,000 feet below the rim to the floor of the Grand Canyon.

Your West Rim Experience

Your adventure begins at the Boulder City Airport, where you’ll board a sightseeing airplane specifically designed for maximum visibility. As you fly toward the West Rim, enjoy bird’s-eye views of the Mojave Desert, the massive Hoover Dam, and the sparkling waters of Lake Mead.

Upon landing at the Grand Canyon West airstrip, you will transition to a state-of-the-art helicopter for a breathtaking flight 4,000 feet down to the canyon floor. Once at the bottom, a short hike leads you to the riverside dock for a pontoon boat cruise along the Colorado River, surrounded by ancient canyon walls.

After returning to the rim by helicopter, a motorcoach will transport you to the tour's most famous landmark: Eagle Point. Here, you will experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk, walking 70 feet out over the edge on a glass floor. You'll also have the chance to see the natural "eagle" rock formation that gives the point its name.

The journey continues to Guano Point, a high promontory offering 360-degree views and a look at historic mining relics. You will have time to explore and purchase a meal at your choice of scenic locations before boarding your airplane for the return flight to Boulder City.

We had a great trip with Canyon Tours last week. Our pilot was funny and put us at ease. He pointed out all the sights and filled us in on what we were seeing. We paid a little extra to get the front seats and I’m so glad we did. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!
