Enjoy an unforgettable day with a boat trip on the Colorado River and a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon West—a unique perspective of this landscape!
Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Grand Canyon West Airport to begin a 5-7 minute helicopter ride over the West Rim. Ready for an unforgettable view?
We'll slowly descend to the base of the Grand Canyon, and once we land, we'll take a short walk down to the river. There, we'll board the boat and begin a trip down the Colorado River. We'll admire the sandstone walls from a different perspective!
After the 15-20 minute boat ride, we'll return to the helicopter to ascend to the top of the canyon. We'll return to the West Rim entrance, where we'll finish the activity.
Also, as a bonus, Grand Canyon West is located a mere 124 miles (200 km) from downtown Las Vegas, unlike Grand Canyon South, which is more than a 4-hour drive from Sin City.
