Grand Canyon West Rim Tours
This section of the Grand Canyon, distinct from the National Park, is proudly owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe. We highly recommend booking a specialized Grand Canyon West tour for several reasons:
- Simplified and Faster Travel to the West Rim
Getting to this remote location can be challenging. Booking a Grand Canyon West tour from Las Vegas or other departure points significantly streamlines travel. Opting for a Grand Canyon West helicopter tour or West Rim airplane tour makes access particularly fast and efficient, often departing directly from the Las Vegas area. - Hassle-Free Entrance and VIP Skywalk Access
All visitors to Grand Canyon West are required to purchase a specific entrance package for this privately-owned attraction. Booking a comprehensive tour simplifies this entire process. As an added benefit, many Grand Canyon West tours with Skywalk access provide VIP skip-the-line entry for the Grand Canyon Skywalk, saving you valuable time. - Exclusive Grand Canyon West Experiences
This is the only place in the entire Grand Canyon system where you can experience:- Landing a helicopter at the bottom of the Canyon alongside the Colorado River. Look for Grand Canyon West helicopter landing tours for this opportunity.
- Embarking on a one-day whitewater rafting trip on the Colorado River. Search for Grand Canyon West rafting tours for this adventure.
When researching Grand Canyon West Rim tour packages, look for options that offer free hotel pickups, especially from Las Vegas hotels, and allow you to customize your own Grand Canyon West experience.
