Las Vegas to South Rim by Plane |
The quickest way to get to the South Rim from Las Vegas is by plane. Flight time one-way is approximately 60 minutes. That's fast. Once you land, you transfer to a van that takes you into the Park and visits the best lookouts and landmarks. Lunch is included as are all taxes,
fees and more. This is a full-day tour and one you don't want to miss. Learn more here...

West Rim buses from Las Vegas leave once a day. You're either on it or you got to wait for the next day. It's why I always recommend travelers book tours as far in advance as they reasonably can. Especially when it comes to the bus trip that includes the Skywalk, which is an
all-glass bridge that lets you walk some 70 feet over the edge. Get details here...

Helicopter Champagne Picnic (Vegas) |
You can only fly to the bottom and land and get out and explore from Las Vegas. Making it really interesting is the Champagne picnic that comes with this trip. Now that's unique. Personally, there's nothing more awesome sipping bubbles as the mighty Colorado River flows 100
yards away. That's amazing. So's the descent. This is the one helicopter tour you don't want to miss. Learn more...

South Rim 50-Minute Helicopter |
There are no landing tours at South Rim. Options range from 30-minutes to 50-minutes. For the money, go with the 50-minute. It does a circle around the canyon that encompases the South Rim, East Rim and the North Rim before flying through the incredible Dragoon Corridor for a
spectacular finish. Here's how to book it...

Las Vegas Plane - Flyover |
On a tight budget or have limited time? Take this Vegas airplane tour to the West Rim. It doesn't land. It's air-only, and it covers a lot of ground. It goes over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon before making a u-turn and heading back to Vegas.
Total tour time is about 3.5 hours from hotel to hotel. I told you it was fast. Book it here...

This tour starts at the South Rim and takes you by bus to Page, AZ, where you drive to the base of Glen Canyon Dam and board a 19-person motorized pontoon raft. Then it's a delightful cruise down the Colorado River via Horseshoe Bend and Marble Canyon before ending at
Lee's Ferry (an old Mormon fort that's no longer inhabitable). Great for couples, groups and families. Learn more here...

Sunset Helicopter Tour (Vegas) |
There are two awesome times to fly the Canyon and one of them is at sunset. This tour utilizes one of the most luxurious helicopters flying the National Park and goes from Vegas over the Colorado River, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam before alighting on the bottom for a Champagne
picnic. Simply put, it's awesome. Learn how to book it here...

Always take weather into consideration when planning a Canyon tour. Especially the temperature. You don't want to be doing a bottom-landing heli tour during summer in a Parka. If winter, skip the shorts (you'll thank me later). Here's an article that gives you a quick dose of
seasonal temps. Read more... |

This is by far one of the most popular bus tours from Vegas. It requires a full day and you can expect to get back to your Vegas hotel around 9 p.m. so please don't plan anthing prior to that. The bus takes 5.5 hours to reach the South Rim and once there you get up to 3 hours
to explore the Park's many lookouts and landmarks like Mather Point, Yaki Point and Grand Canyon Village. Book it? Click here to RSVP...
