Description

Get three unforgettable views of the Grand Canyon in one remarkable tour — from the sky, the river, and the rim. The Grand Canyon West Helicopter Tour, Boat Ride & Skywalk package begins with a 3,500-foot helicopter descent into the canyon, offering sweeping aerial views of its massive red rock walls and layered formations.

After landing beside the Colorado River, you'll board a pontoon boat for a smooth 15-minute narrated ride between the towering cliffs of the canyon floor. The calm water and dramatic surroundings make it an incredible setting for photos and quiet reflection. Then fly back to the rim on a return helicopter ride, taking in a fresh perspective from above.

Back at Grand Canyon West, your All-Access Pass opens the door to more iconic experiences. Step out onto the world-famous Skywalk — a glass-bottomed bridge that extends 70 feet beyond the canyon's edge. Explore Eagle Point, featuring a Native American Village and daily cultural performances, or ride the hop-on hop-off shuttle to Guano Point and Hualapai Point for panoramic views.

Your pass also includes a $10 food credit at select cafés and a $10 retail credit at onsite gift shops. With just 45 minutes of guided tour time plus flexible self-paced exploration, this adventure is perfect for travelers seeking to experience the Grand Canyon's full depth — literally and figuratively.
