Your tour duration depends on the type of tour selected. Hummer tours are typically 2-3 hours long, aerial tours last for about 30-45 mins, and tours from Las Vegas are for about 12-14 hours.
Yes, since the South Rim is open all year round, your tours take place every day, weather permitting. Some tours might be cancelled in case of harsh weather conditions or poor visibility. Some areas might be closed due to unsafe conditions, in which case alternate options will be available.
Aerial tours followed by on-ground guided Hummer tours are ideal for those with mobility issues. They’re accessible, require little to no walking, and are suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Visit the Yavapai Geology Museum and participate in a Ranger talk (takes place daily), the Desert View Watchtower for its murals and the high viewpoint, and join the aerial tours for added adventure. Several viewpoints, such as Mather Point, Yavapai Point, etc., involve a short hike and are easy to navigate, making it seamless to explore with children.
Monsoon at the Grand Canyon starts late June and goes on till the end of August, which is when the thunderstorms, winds, and visibility concerns are the highest for all aerial tours.
Yes, pets are welcome at the South Rim, but certain tours (helicopter tours, airplane tours, etc.) do not allow pets on board. They need to be leashed while on the ground, and there are certain areas that are not pet-friendly.
It’s not feasible to cover both the South Rim and the North Rim in one day if you’re planning on driving or using the daily shuttle to travel. The travel time is around 3-4 hours, and the shuttle takes about 4.5 hours one way. The best way to cover both rims is to opt for aerial tours that start from the South Rim, cover multiple regions of both rims, and return.
No, since the West Rim is not a part of the Grand Canyon National Park, the park entrance fee does not include admission to Grand Canyon West. You will have to purchase an additional ticket to visit the West Rim (the all-inclusive admission ticket for Grand Canyon West is available for $99 on-site).
