Enjoy the splendor of West Rim Grand Canyon on an airplane tour with Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines. You'll fly from Las Vegas to the tribal lands of the Hualapai Nation on a 35-minute flight aboard a sightseeing airplane complete with amazing sights of the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River.
Upon landing, guests will take a complimentary air-conditioned shuttle along the rim of Grand Canyon West. Each stop allows you to explore amazing landscapes and lookout points at the Grand Canyon in your own time. The self-guided segment of your tour lasts approximately 3.5-4 hours. You can wander the canyon's edge, take photos, or purchase a meal.
Eagle Point is home to the Indian Village, which highlights the Hualapai Tribe culture and offers breathtaking and unique views of the West Rim Grand Canyon. Its namesake comes from the rock formation just across the canyon, which appears to be a massive eagle spreading its wings. Eagle Point also contains the Hualapai's famous Grand Canyon Skywalk.
You can also take the shuttle to Guano Point, a natural rock peninsula which offers a 360-degree view of the canyon walls and contains the historical remains of an aerial tramway, enhancing the surreal vantage point.
Guests can purchase a meal at your preference of either Eagle Point or Guano Point.
Return by shuttle to the Grand Canyon West Airport for your return flight to Boulder City.
Note: Due to longer than normal shuttle wait times at Grand Canyon West, visitors may experience delays in visiting multiple viewpoints during the self-guided tour segment.
