Frequently asked questions about the Grand Canyon Skywalk
Is the Skywalk safe?
Absolutely! In fact, the Skywalk can support the weight of 71 fully loaded 747 airplanes. To put this into perspective, that’s equivalent to more than eight hundred 200 lb. people. It can also withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour and magnitude 8.0 earthquakes. Still not convinced? The red limestone that anchors the Skywalk can support 16,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.
Are there any age or height restrictions?
There are no specific age or height restrictions for the Skywalk. However, all visitors, including children, must be able to cross the bridge unassisted.
Can I take pictures at the Skywalk?
Unfortunately, no. To protect the glass paneling from scratches, personal items including cameras and cellphones are not allowed on the Skywalk. But, you can purchase a souvenir photo from a professional photographer. You’ll also be required to wear fabric shoe covers to prevent scratching.
What is the Legacy Package?
Grand Canyon West is privately owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe and requires the purchase of a Legacy Tour Package for entry. It includes a self-guided tour of all points of interest at Grand Canyon West, as well as unlimited use of the hop-on hop-off shuttle to Eagle Point, Guano Point, and the Hualapai Ranch. If your Headout tour includes landing at the West Rim, it is safe to assume the tour price includes your Legacy Package. In addition, some tours include a meal coupon, which includes a meal at any of the on-site canteens, excluding the Skywalk Restaurant.

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!

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

Hopping on the chopper was the best experience of my life. I am usually a little giddy up in the air, but the pilot and co-pilot were super friendly and helped distracting me.

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.
