Easy access from Las Vegas

Grand Canyon West is a short, 2-hour drive away from Las Vegas, making it the most easily accessible region of the Grand Canyon for your trip to the natural wonder.

Views from Grand Canyon West Skywalk

The glass bridge takes you off the rim and into the Grand Canyon for an unmatched experience and views of the canyon’s floor, rock formations, and its sheer size.

Multiple choices for flexible exploration

Choose from short tours, tours with transportation, aerial tours, tours with added adventure, or tours that allow for self-exploration, and make your visit truly your own.

Enjoy time on the Grand Canyon floor

Grand Canyon West Rim tours come with the option of a floor landing that lands you inside the canyon without the strenuous hike. All of the fun, none of the effort.

View the Grand Canyon from the sky, by the rim, and by the river

Combo tours of the West Rim let you explore the West Rim in multiple ways. Start with an airplane or helicopter tour, add a boat ride across the Colorado River, and explore the rim through multiple vantage points.
