Overview
Your adventure begins with pick-up from your Las Vegas hotel and transportation to our exclusive Boulder City Municipal Airport terminal. Then you’re up and away over the abstract dramatic visuals of the Mojave Desert, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the winding waters of the Colorado River. Your plane touches down at Grand Canyon West, a Native American Tribal Park owned by the Hualapai Indian Nation. A helicopter awaits your party for a thrilling helicopter tour to the canyon floor, where a pontoon boat will take you on a relaxing smooth water float to Quartermaster Point and back. After your river trip, you’ll board your helicopter and head back to the surface, where motorcoaches are ready to show you the rest of Grand Canyon West.
Your next stop is Eagle Point, the site of the Southwest’s most talked-about attraction: the Grand Canyon Skywalk! You can also learn about the Native people of the Southwest by touring replicas of their traditional homes or watching a dance performance or cultural program at the amphitheater. A short and easy trail around the tram line and other equipment from the defunct Guano Point Mine not only offers excellent views of the Colorado River but a fascinating glimpse at one of many ill-fated attempts to capitalize on the mineral resources within the Grand Canyon. Both of these famous Grand Canyon West regions offer cafes and food options available for purchase. Eventually, it will be time to head back to Las Vegas. Return transportation to your Las Vegas hotel takes place upon return to the Boulder City Municipal Airport.
Available in Chinese - Mandarin & Cantonese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Russian.
