Grand Canyon Tours from Las Vegas

While the vibrant nightlife of the Las Vegas Strip has its own appeal, there’s something unique about the landscapes of the Grand Canyon, just a couple of hours away from the city’s neon lights. Take a day tour from Las Vegas to the West Rim, South Rim, over the Grand Canyon National Park, and even Hoover Dam for a refreshing nature escape from Sin City.

Stay on this page, for a low down on how your day trip will look, what to expect at Grand Canyon, and the adventures that await!

Proximity and convenience

Experience one of the world's most stunning natural wonders without the hassle of planning logistics. Many tours often include hotel pick-up and drop-off, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey. The Grand Canyon is just a few hours' drive from Las Vegas, making it an ideal destination for a day trip.

Things to know before booking your Las Vegas to Grand Canyon tour

Decide which part of the Grand Canyon you want to visit in advance. Each has their own draws like the Skywalk and helicopter tours at West Rim, or the views from the National Park. Book your tour accordingly.
Most full-day bus tours last anywhere between 10 to 14 hours, including travel time from Las Vegas. In case you want to avoid traveling by road, opt for a day tour via helicopter.
Decide how you’d like to experience the canyon. Ground tours are ideal for those who prefer a guided road trip with stops at multiple viewpoints. Aerial tours are perfect for a bird’s-eye view and time-efficient exploration, while boat tours are perfect for adventurers seeking a closer connection to nature.
The Grand Canyon’s weather varies by season, with spring and fall offering mild temperatures that are ideal for outdoor activities, and summers that can get extremely hot. There is even the possibility of snowfall during the winter months at the South Rim creating a unique scenery.
If you have mobility concerns, confirm that the tour accommodates wheelchairs or other needs beforehand, especially for activities like the Skywalk or hiking.
Most tours start early in the morning and depart from central Las Vegas locations. Ensure you can reach the pickup point on time.

Best time to take a day trip from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon

Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are generally the best times for a day trip to the Grand Canyon with pleasant weather, temperatures ranging between mid-50s°F to 80s°F, moderate crowds, and optimal conditions for outdoor exploration. However, every season offers its own unique charm, so plan based on your interests and comfort.

Summer (June to August) is the peak tourist season, with larger crowds and higher temperatures (often exceeding 100°F or 38°C). Winter (December to February) can bring cooler temperatures and occasional snow at higher elevations, particularly at the South Rim.

Things to remember for a smooth Grand Canyon day tour

Trip duration: Most Grand Canyon day tours from Las Vegas last 10-14 hours, with a one-way drive taking approximately 4-5 hours. Expect an early start and a late return.
Carry your ID: A valid government-issued ID is essential for tour check-ins.
Dress for the weather: The Grand Canyon's weather can be unpredictable. Wear layers to adapt to cool mornings, warm afternoons, and potential wind.
Choose the right shoes: With a lot of walking involved, choose comfortable hiking or walking shoes with a good grip to better explore the trails and viewpoints.
Pack essentials: Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and lip balm with SPF to protect against the sun. Carry a power bank, a small first-aid kit, and any personal medications you might need.
Bring refreshments: While some tours include meals, it’s never a bad idea to carry snacks and plenty of water to stay hydrated and energized during your trip.
Be prepared for elevation changes: The Grand Canyon's South Rim sits over 7,000 feet above sea level. Stay hydrated and move slowly if you’re not accustomed to higher altitudes.
Respect wildlife: The Grand Canyon is home to many animals. Observe from a distance and avoid feeding or approaching them.
Engage with your guide: Guides often share fascinating insights about the Grand Canyon's geology, history, and cultural significance. Don't hesitate to ask questions to enhance your experience.
Time your visit wisely: Be mindful of time zone differences. While Las Vegas observes Daylight Saving Time, the Grand Canyon's South Rim (in Arizona) does not. Double-check the time to ensure you're on schedule.
Carry cash for tips: It's customary to tip your guide and driver. A tip of $5 to $10 per person is generally appreciated.

What an amazing trip this was. Our guide Gia was sooooo knowledgeable and such good fun. The Canyon itself was simply WOW. We did the sky walk and decided to add the helicopter and boat to our day and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. We will absolutely be back to Vegas and will use this company again.

It was incredible, we did the VIP tour to go underground along with up top. We were on a tour bus group, could have used at least another 1/2 hour there. But overall loved it. We have been to Vegas several times and this is the first time we've done the Dam tour. A must do.

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

Let me start by saying I have a serious fear of heights. However, I’ve never been bothered on planes where I’m completely enclosed. The night before my flight (my first helicopter ride), we stayed at the Kachina Lodge in Grand Canyon National Park. I tried to stay about 6 feet away from the edge of the walkway as much as possible. When I got closer, my acrophobia kicked in. But in the helicopter, like on a plane, I felt fine. We had five passengers on our flight, and with a helicopter that seats eight, the pilot put my wife and me on the outside seats in the back row, while the other passengers sat in the front row with him, ensuring everyone had a window seat and a great view. The pilot was young but seemed very knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon. It was both an informative and enjoyable experience. For me, it was the highlight of our trip, which included visits to the Petrified Forest, Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Arches National Park. The flight lasted about 40 to 45 minutes, and with check-in (and possibly souvenir shopping), expect to spend about twice that. I highly recommend it.

Best hour of my life-that’s how my daughter (not a little kid but a well-traveled professional) described it. While I get that her statement might be a bit exaggerated, I completely understand her feelings, even if I don’t share her newfound desire to buy a helicopter. The Grand Canyon is vast, stretching about 277 miles. Unless you spend weeks rafting on the Colorado River or embark on a lengthy hike, it’s nearly impossible to fully appreciate the grandeur and scale of this natural wonder from the ground. I usually prefer to enjoy landscapes at my own pace and don’t typically go for this kind of experience, but the Maverick tour from Tusayan left me breathless and was worth every penny (and it takes a lot of pennies to fly with Maverick). They utilize aircraft specifically designed for sightseeing, which means more windows, stadium seating, all seats facing forward, and less noise and vibration (though you’ll still need to wear the provided noise-canceling headphones). Other companies might not use these specialized helicopters. Since all companies follow the same route, your choice mainly depends on the type of aircraft they operate and the quality of the pilot. Our pilot was incredibly knowledgeable, mixing a lot of information with humor and making every effort to ensure a pleasant and relaxed experience for everyone. We had the good fortune of sitting in the front row, which definitely enhances the experience-you can request the front row, but ultimately, seating is determined by weight distribution. We opted for the longer 45-minute tour (which actually lasted closer to an hour); the price difference compared to shorter flights from Tusayan is minimal, and I see no reason why anyone would choose a shorter flight unless they’re afraid of heights, in which case they shouldn’t be on this trip. I won’t attempt to describe the sights you’ll see, as words can’t capture the otherworldly beauty of this place. It’s simple: if you’re going to the trouble of visiting the Grand Canyon and can afford the fare, take this flight! Cut costs elsewhere if you need to (you can eat anywhere) but don’t skip this flight! (I’ve regretted not taking a helicopter over the Na-pali coast on Kauai for 8 years-don’t make my mistake!) One downside: the staff at the terminal were unhelpful, bordering on rude. Our flight left 30 minutes early, and we were rushed aboard without being told until the last minute that you can’t bring much on board besides a camera and a water bottle, forcing us to make some last-minute changes. (Bring your camera instead of paying the outrageous fees for a video of your flight or a family photo.) Bottom line: Maverick isn’t great on the ground, but once you’re in the air, it’s a nearly transcendent experience.

The best part was our guide—she was super energetic and answered everyone’s questions. The canyon was like nothing I’d seen before. Bus was comfortable and lunch was fine. Not a fan of the early start time, but worth it.
