Grand Canyon West Rim and SkyWalk. Was it Worth It? Just 2 Hours from Las Vegas!
Our Spring Break Cruise got cancelled this year due to Covid, so we pivoted and found cheap tickets to Las Vegas, NV instead. We wanted to see the Grand Canyon while we were out there but didn't want the 5 hour drive each way so we went to the Grand Canyon West Rim!
It's only 2 hours from Las Vegas and we did it in and easy day trip with a stop at the Hoover Dam for some pictures on the way back to our Hotel in Vegas.
The time we spent at the canyon was about 2.5 hours and was perfect.
We would HIGHLY recommend this experience! As for the Skywalk, we weren't able to film anything on it and we didn't feel it was worth the extra cost.
Thanks for watching, liking, sharing and subscribing... and as always, for coming on the journey with us!

ITINERARY | Grand Canyon West One-Day Tour
An exclusively arranged tour that allows you to intimately experience the raw majestic beauty of the Grand Canyon West Rim along with the culture of its local inhabitants, the Hualapai Indians. Along the way, travel across the Hoover Dam Bridge and wind your way through the vast rugged desert wilderness en route to one of the Seven Wonders Of The World, the Grand Canyon.
This tour will take you off the main highways and cruise amid 21 miles of one of the world's largest and oldest Joshua Tree Forests. As you get close to your destination, enjoy the sight of high cliffs and canyon walls before arriving at the Hualapai Indian Reservation. From there freely roam and explore the West Rim or upgrade to the other packages for even more ways to enhance the already fantastic experience. With many options to choose from, let us custom tailor the tour to your liking to make it the trip of a lifetime.
Some optional tours FYI:
Helicopter & Boat:
To truly experience the Grand Canyon, one must descend to the canyon floor, but in order to do that, it would normally on average take weeks of relatively rigorous hiking and camping. Do not fret however, we offer the chance to make it to the canyon floor minus the hassle. By taking our helicopter & boat package upgrade, we offer a way to save all that time and effort so you can better spend it elsewhere! Start by climbing aboard a million-dollar helicopter equipped with forward facing seats and large vista windows and be awe-struck by the seemingly expanding and deepening stone walls as you descend a mile below the rim to the canyon floor. Upon landing, switch gear and board a waiting pontoon boat for a cruise down the Colorado River, the same river that helped carve the Grand Canyon.
Next, re-board the helicopter for your ascent back to the canyon rim above for another chance at marveling at its spectacular view from below. Then take break at Guano Point where you have the chance to grab some lunch and feel free to walk the rim to see even more amazing views from the top. Next, move on to Eagle's Point where you will have the option to enhance the tour with the Skywalk Experience. Then visit the Hualapai Tribe Village at your own pace. We recommend checking out the native dances and shows, along with the opportunity to pick up hand crafted jewelry and so much more.
The combined flight time in the helicopter is approximately 12 minutes and the boat ride is about 15 minutes. The helicopter can take 5-6 guests depending on their combined weight.

The Grand Canyon can be best explored by foot, by air or on the waters of the Colorado River. We chose the easiest way to save time and had an unforgettable experience flying over the Grand Canyon.

Certain helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon even permit landing on the canyon floor where you can soak in some of the natural architecture for real in person.
