中文Step away from the neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip to discover a memorable experience at one of the world's most famous natural wonders: the Grand Canyon.
Thanks to its proximity, Las Vegas is an excellent starting point for various excursions to the Grand Canyon, ranging from half-day helicopter tours to full-day overland trips that visit the national park's most impressive viewpoints.
Heading to the West Rim
Grand Canyon West is the most easily accessible section from Las Vegas, located approximately 200 kilometers away. These excursions are perfect for travelers with limited time and offer exclusive panoramic views not found elsewhere in the park. Here, you will discover:
- The Skywalk: a glass walkway that lets you step out onto a structure suspended 1,220 meters above the Colorado River.
- Helicopter tours with landings: Some helicopter tours include a landing at the canyon floor for photo opportunities and champagne picnics.
- Hualapai Tribal Lands: West Rim tours take place on Hualapai territory, where you can enjoy cultural experiences and facilities managed by the tribe.
- Additional options: Other options complement your visit, including flyovers of the Hoover Dam, views of Lake Mead, and pontoon boat rides on the Colorado River.
Heading to the South Rim (Grand Canyon National Park)
If you are looking for magnificent, postcard-worthy vistas, the South Rim—located within Grand Canyon National Park—is the perfect destination. Situated approximately 440 kilometers from Las Vegas, most South Rim tours are full-day excursions.
- Grand Canyon Village: Explore historic buildings, shops, and visitor centers.
- Viewpoints: Iconic viewpoints in the park include Hopi Point, Mohave Point, and Bright Angel.
- Helicopter option: For an aerial perspective, helicopter tours are available from Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan as well as from Las Vegas.
