This truly was an unforgettable trip! We had the champagne picnic at sunset and would thoroughly recommend it. We enjoyed views of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam on the way out and sunset on our return. We had approximately 45 minutes in the canyon and enjoyed a picnic and a glass of champagne whilst taking in the magnificent views.

Booked this for my fiancé' birthday. Was absolutely brilliant! Everything was well organised from the limo picking us up to checking in and getting us on the helicopter. Our pilot Fred was brilliant very jokey and informative. We were in one of the newer helicopters which was comfortable with big windows so could see no matter where you sat. Had a lovely champagne breakfast when we landed in the cannon. The only negative I have is you have to pay an extra 50 per person when you check in. Think with the amount you pay for the trip anyway this wasn't necessary. But I would strongly reccomend doing this, the views of the strip and cannon are unbelievable. Both of us absolutely loved this trip.

This adventure was AWESOME. I retired 6 years ago, and seeing the Grand Canyon was on my bucket list. This is my far the best way to view the Grand Canyon and I really can tell you how great is was. This is my fourth helicopter tour and it was second to none. Our pilot was excellent and very friendly and informative. If you are thinking about doing it-do it, you will not be disappointed.

Fascinating facts about the Skywalk
The peach-colored frame of the Skywalk is bolted to the rim of the canyon and could support the weight of more than 70 Boeing 747 passenger jets, according to engineers.
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.
Is the Skywalk wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is wheelchair accessible. The Skywalk Terminal features an elevator that provides access to the Skywalk, photo area, and gift shop, ensuring that visitors with mobility challenges can enjoy the experience. Additionally, the complimentary shuttle buses at Grand Canyon West are equipped to accommodate both manual and motorized wheelchairs, and accessible restrooms are available throughout the site.

Of course! Book an airplane tour from Las Vegas along with the Skywalk experience here.

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!

Grand Canyon West Rim Entry Tickets with Optional Skywalk Upgrade

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.

Enjoyed the ride, but should we have crashed we were never instructed on how to release our seatbelts to get out of helicopter!

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.

The pilot was very professional and friendly. The ride was very smooth and this comes from someone who does not tolerate any type of turbulence. The take off and landing were very smooth. I sat in the front seat and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. My only complaint was that we had to wait 1 hour before our flight. This cut into the time we had for our bus tour. We had to skip on the sky walk in order to catch our return bus. But the helicopter ride was far better .

Carlito made the experience so memorable and well worth it. Aside from the most memorable sites, combined with his level of area knowledge & history and overall great humor... I will never forget this trip!!!!
