Itinerary
The Grand Voyager Rim to River tour provides one of the most all-encompassing Grand Canyon experiences. This expedition combines the thrill of an airplane flight, a helicopter descent, and a boat ride into an action-packed day. Guests take a scenic flight from the Las Vegas area with incredible sights of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River from the air. Upon arrival at our West Rim terminal, a helicopter will fly guests down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, nearly a mile below the surface. Here a pontoon boat awaits to cruise up the Colorado River between the ancient stone walls of the canyon. Back at the rim, you'll enjoy views of a massive eagle-shaped rock formation at Eagle Point and nearly 360-degree panoramic views at Guano Point. For a truly VIP experience at Eagle Point, guests can upgrade their adventure by purchasing VIP admission to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass-bottom bridge suspended 70 feet over the edge. The VIP admission allows guests a shorter wait time with front-of-the-line access.
Eagle Point and Guano Point are accessible using the canyon's shuttle service. If hungry, guests can purchase food and snacks from both areas. After exploration time at Grand Canyon West, guests will fly back to Boulder City.
