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.
Skywalk:
Experience the new and recently-constructed Skywalk bridge, an attraction like no other. This state-of-the art open-air glass walkway is an architectural marvel which extends 70 feet from the cliff of Eagle Point rim and hangs over 4000 feet above the canyon floor. Built by the Hualapai Tribe at the Canyon's West Rim, the Skywalk provides a stunning new perspective, allowing 720-degree breathtaking views of one of nature's most fantastic landscapes.
