This adventure begins on the Las Vegas Strip , where passengers board an air-conditioned bus and head to the West Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. From there, they board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Next, visitors head for Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. There's also an option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).

This tour will show you the best of the West Rim, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can trek to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.

A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo (but keep in mind this stop is only available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.

No matter which option you choose, previous travelers say you will enjoy this tour — especially the expert guides, who they describe as both informative and entertaining.

Good to know: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.

Price: From $119 per person Duration: About 13 hours

If you're looking to visit the South Rim — the most popular part of Grand Canyon National Park — consider this bus tour from National Park Express. Tour rates include admission to some of the most popular Grand Canyon attractions , including Mather Point and Bright Angel Point , and you'll get about three hours total to explore. Previous travelers commend the tour guides and drivers, noting they are both knowledgable and pleasant.

Lunch, bottled water and a granola bar are included in tour rates. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).

Good to know: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area (such as coyotes and bighorn sheep) often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim.

This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.

You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.

Previous travelers say this tour makes for a really long day, but that the experience is well worth the time.

Good to know: Located farther from Vegas, the South Rim is cooler, with rainy and snowy winters, and more moderate temperatures in spring, summer and fall.

Price: From $139 per adult Duration: About 10.5 hours

This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon.

Additionally, this all-inclusive tour stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as a tour guide makes for an even more fun experience according to previous tourgoers.

Good to know: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.

Price: From $100 per person Duration: About 14 hours

This South Rim bus tour from Canyon Tours offers a full day of activities that kids will enjoy. Not only will youngsters marvel at the beauty of the canyon, but they can also have an immersive experience at the IMAX theater, which plays a film that takes you into the center of the canyon. Additionally, your family will get a chance to see the Hoover Dam as you cross the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge.

Lunch and bottled water are included in tour rates.

Good to know: Visitor centers throughout the park offer free activities that allow children 4 and older to earn an official Junior Ranger badge and learn about nature, history and park preservation.

Price: From $599 per person Duration: 4 hours

One of the best Grand Canyon helicopter tours , this excursion features panoramic views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Mojave Desert and of course, the Grand Canyon. The tour covers roughly 10 miles of the Grand Canyon before landing 3,500 feet below the rim of the Hualapai Indian Territory, where Champagne and light snacks are served. Previous visitors say this is one of the highlights of the tour.

This helicopter tour departs the Las Vegas Strip Terminal, and complimentary shuttle service is available for hotels within a 5-mile radius of the departure point. Note that helicopter weight restrictions apply for safety purposes.

Grand Canyon tours  brokered through Grand Canyon Destinations offer an adventure tour experience that is as memorable as it is fun. We offer canyon tours from Las Vegas. The tours travel to the South and West Rim of the canyon as well as the Hoover Dam and  Zion National Park . All of the tour experiences travel in a well-equipped and comfortable fleet of tour buses or Sprinter vans.

The standard Grand Canyon tour companies use a driver and tour guide in one. This person then has to check guests in, narrate the tour, pass out lunches, answer questions, and drive a 40,000 pound vehicle safely. At Grand Canyon Destinations, we value safety and customer service. That is why the tours have a separate driver and tour guide on every tour bus. Your dedicated tour guide will be there to guide you, share facts and stories, answer your questions, and help you with any needs throughout the tour.

The following information will fill you in on what to expect when visiting the  Grand Canyons West Rim  or booking one of the South Rim tours through our website.

Traveling In Comfort

When it comes to traveling, we know that you want to be comfortable. That is why the transportation provider makes this a priority by providing the comfortable fleet of vehicles. The large tour buses hold up to 55 passengers. Each bus has an on board restroom, head and foot rests, TVs for entertainment, and individually controlled air conditioning.  There is plenty of room to stand up as well as storage for bags and souvenirs.

If you choose to take a small group South or West Rim tour, you will ride in a 12-passenger Mercedes Sprinter van. There is extra leg room and ceilings tall enough to stand in these vans as well. Having your own personal tour guide will allow your small group to customize your tour as well.

  Guided Walking Grand Canyon Tours

Guided walking tours to the canyon are available too. These tours allow guests to learn about the history of the area along with desert animals and plants. Small tour groups can go by a 12-passenger, Mercedes Sprinter van to see all that a South Rim day tour has to offer. We travel to the more popular areas such as Grand Canyon National Park and the West Rim, as well as to scenic canyon areas in southern Utah. Whether you are traveling with your family, friends, or solo, we can help you find just the right option for a day trip from Las Vegas.

Tours To Grand Canyon National Park

You will love taking one of the Grand Canyon tours to the park, as you can plan this journey anytime. The park is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While the South Rim is quite popular with tourists, the North Rim of the canyon is only open from the middle part of May to October. Therefore, North Rim tours are not as popular as a South Rim day trip or a West Rim bus tour.

Canyon Facts

Before you take one of the day trips from Las Vegas to the South Rim, it’s nice to know some facts about the canyon itself. The canyon is 277 miles in length. The Colorado River, at the canyon’s base, has carved out the rock of the canyon for about 6 million years. South Rim of the canyon became part of the US National Park system on February 26, 1919. Grand Canyon National Park is the second-most visited national park in the US after the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee. The park sees about 6 million visitors annually.

For answers to more questions, such as, where is the Grand Canyon located, check out the  national park website .

How Long It Takes To Reach Your Destination

If you go on one of the Las Vegas tours by bus, it will take about 4.5 hours to get to the park entrance. That is why it leaves early in the morning at 6:00 am for the regular and rim VIP trips. We want you to be able to spend at least three hours inside the park once we reach the South Rim. From Las Vegas the park is about 280 miles away.

Travel Along Famous Route 66

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is visited the most often of any location. You will love taking the rim day trip to the South Rim, as you don’t have to check in at a terminal, nor have to wait in line. Enjoy the desert-scape of the Mohave Desert, as one of the buses takes you to your destination along the famous Route 66.

Grand Canyon Village

One of the areas of the most well known areas is the Grand Canyon Village. This is one of the featured attractions of  Grand Canyon tours  and rim tours within the park. This trip from Las Vegas may be taken by a comfortable bus, as a guided walking tour, or as rim day trip for small or large groups.

Some Of The Rim Hotels

If you wish to spend a longer time in the park and not take one of the rim day trip excursions, you can arrange to stay at one of the rim hotels as part of your experience. One of the popular hotels on the South Rim is the historic El Tovar, which features 78 rooms. The Bright Angel Hotel feature 86 units. Two hotels that sit on the canyon’s rim include the Kachina Lodge and the Thunderbird Lodge. Therefore, you have several options if you don’t want to hurry back to Las Vegas.

How To Make The Most Of Your Time In The South Rim

You will find, once you enter Grand Canyon National Park, that three sections are part of the South Rim. These sections include Desert View Road, Hermit Road, and the Village. Each part offers a slightly different canyon experience when taking a South Rim day trip.

These sections are well known by travelers to the South Rim, unlike the areas of the North Rim. The North Rim is more remote and does not feature interactive buildings and activities. It is also closed in the winter time, which makes Grand Canyon North Rim tours rare journeys.

For example, you may want to rent a bicycle and bike along the 7-mile-long Hermit Road at the South Rim. Hermit Road begins at the Village and ends at the landmark of Hermit’s Rest. You can either bike or visit the viewpoints along the road by shuttle. The shuttle runs from March 1 until November 30. You must hike or take a bike from December to February. We recommend biking along the road, as it is easier than hopping on and off a shuttle, and much quicker than walking.

Popular South Rim Viewpoints

The viewpoints in the South Rim will give you some stunning views of the surrounding rockscape. Some of the popular venues include Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Bright Angel Lodge. Mather Point can be seen at the beginning of a South Rim tour, while Yavapai point is at the halfway point on a walking tour, and Bright Angel Lodge is the ending point. All provide amazing and different views into the canyon.

Walking The South Rim Trail Of Time

You might also want to walk the South Rim Trail. This trail accommodates hikers and walkers of various skills and abilities, as most of the trail is paved and flat. The trail, which follows the perimeter of the rim, stretches 13 miles or 21 km from Hermit’s Rest to the South Kaibab trailhead. If you don’t want to walk all the 13 miles, you can always choose a small part of the trail to walk and use the shuttle part of the time.

Bright Angel Trail

One of the popular trails on the South Rim is the Bright Angel Trail. This trail, which is easily accessible, begins at Grand Canyon Village. Bright Angel Trail begins at the South Rim and finishes at Bright Angel Campground, close to the Colorado River. In total, the trail is about 9.5 miles in length and descends almost 4,400 feet. Like the South Rim Trail, you can hike part of the trail on one of the day trips, as it is difficult to walk the trail and come back in the same day. Therefore, we recommend that you hike part of the trail and turn around.

When you take one of our Las Vegas tours, you can make the trip extra special by adding some unique activities. As mentioned, the  Grand Canyon tours  are adaptable to allow you to add any excursions you are interested in. This may mean you want to include one of the airplane tours at the South Rim, which can be arranged if you book in advance. Seeing Bright Angel Lodge and the expansive South Rim of the canyon from an air tour is an incredible site to see. Keep in mind that many activities are not possible during a one-day tour. However, you can take a bus tour to the canyon, stay the night, and return the following day on a bus tour.

Whatever form your tour takes, we are here to help make the trip fun and memorable. Taking one of the tours and communicating with the tour guides makes day trip tours in Grand Canyon locations that much more memorable.

Shortening Your Excursion Along Bright Angel Trail

One of the hiking options you can take on a canyon day trip along Bright Angel Trail is walking 1.5 miles to the resthouse. The path is a 3-mile round trip that allows you to descend a switchback trail on the rim.

More ambitious hikers hike the Bright Angel Trail to the Indian Garden, which offers a 9-mile roundtrip adventure. After you pass the resthouse on this trail, the path levels out, although you are still descending down the trail. Don’t try to go past the Indian Garden in the summer, as the thermometer can read triple-digit Fahrenheit temperatures.

Plateau Point

If you choose to take the trail when it is cooler, you may pursue an adventure down Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point. This 12-mile round-trip hike is beyond Indian Garden, and permits trail-goers to see a great view of the Colorado River.

A Tip For Hikers Who Hike Bright Angel Trail

One tip to remember when hiking the Bright Angel Trail is that going down the trail is much easier than returning, as you are walking up an incline. If you take the Bright Angel Trail, it is best to begin early, and arm yourself with plenty of water and salty snacks. You should also give yourself ample time to return from your hike, back to the rim. If you go on one of our day trips, you should pursue the 3-mile resthouse turnaround trail.

Visiting The IMAX Theater At The Visitor Center

If you want to forego hiking altogether, you can enjoy a movie at the IMAX theater in the park Visitors Center. The 34-minute Grand Canyon production may not be the same as seeing the canyon itself, but it will give you a good introduction to the canyon and its history. It also allows you to escape the heat in the summer in a comfortable, air-conditioned theater.

Visiting The Grand Canyon Skywalk At The West Rim

You can also experience tours to the West Rim and Skywalk. A Skywalk tour will take you to  Grand Canyon West , owned and inhabited by the Hualapai tribe. When taking a West Rim bus tour, you can travel on a fully equipped bus and take in the sights from panoramic windows. A West Rim guided tour is also available for day travelers. This type of trip is popular, as it permits visitors to interact and engage in the tour activity.

If you are vacationing with a small group in Las Vegas, ask about a VIP West Rim bus tour for small groups. The transportation provider can take up to 12 guests to the West Rim in a Mercedes Sprinter. One of the tour guides will serve as your personal tour escort.

Some Facts About The Skywalk

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a must-see attraction at Grand Canyon West. The bridge is made of reinforced glass creating a see-through platform that allows visitors to see down to the canyon floor. Don’t worry about the sturdiness of the glass bridge. It can hold as many as 70 jets, fully loaded with travelers. Only 120 visitors are allowed on the bridge at one time.

Zion National Park And Hoover Dam

A tour can also take you to Zion National Park, located in Utah. This popular tour option allows you to explore Zion Canyon in Southern Utah in the day and return to Las Vegas at night. If you would like to take a short, half-day tour to the Hoover Dam, we also offer this tour. You can take an express tour or one of the classic Hoover Dam tours, which has an underground tour of the powerplant.

Unique Grand Canyon Activities

A rim bus tour may lead to the South Rim or West Rim. Grand Canyon tours can take various forms depending on what you would like to see and do. For example, you may want to schedule a mule ride as one of the activities on a canyon trip.

This type of pursuit must be scheduled well in advance, as it is one of the unique outdoor activities at the canyon. You just need to decide which hotel you want to include on your itinerary. You may wish to fly to the West Rim and view the Skywalk, or go toward the North Rim or South Rim on one of the Grand Canyon tours. We can customize a travel plan according to your needs and preferences when you take a tour. In addition to the regular excursions, we can also work with you to plan a personalized journey.

Other Travel Experiences

Considering how breathtaking the Grand Canyon is, it is easy to see why national park tours are such popular escapes from Las Vegas. Grand Canyon tours can also include the following activities:

• Grand Canyon National park tours can be lead by a professional tour guides or led by rangers in the park.
• A railway excursion into the park by an old-fashioned steam locomotive. This type of adventure tour is available during the summer months.
• Grand Canyon Village is where you can see historic sites. You can take the shuttle or walk the length of the village, which has been proclaimed a historic landmark site.
• Hoover Dam tours  are offered as half-day tours to the Hoover Dam.

Best Times To Visit

Grand Canyon Destinations can arrange to have you taken to Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, or Hoover Dam. Peak season at the canyon are the summer months, leaving spring and fall less crowded times to visit. Not only is the weather more temperate, the number of people thin out during these times. If you travel from June to September, expect to see larger crowds.

By taking one of the tours, you can get to your destination without worrying about parking or access. A day trip to the South Rim or West Rim is always a fun travel choice from Las Vegas. It also gives you a break in your regular vacation routine.

What To Expect On A South Rim Or West Rim Journey

The travel time to the South Rim of the canyon is longer than to the West Rim. The tour buses leave around 6:00 AM for the South Rim. If you visit the West Rim, the tour bus will pick you up from or near your hotel at around 6:00 AM also due to the entrance lines getting busy later in the morning.

What To Wear At The Grand Canyon

When visiting any part of the Grand Canyon, make sure you dress in layers and wear sunscreen. The sun can reflect strongly off canyon walls. The weather can also change in an instant, especially if you go from one elevation to the next. Be prepared when you visit Zion National Park or the canyon. The walls of the canyons capture the heat of the sun during the summer and the trails can be especially dangerous when it snows.

While the surrounding sights around Las Vegas are beautiful, you still have to make sure that you stay protected from the outside elements. We can help with all your Grand Canyon travel needs. Take one of the canyon tours here at Grand Canyon Destinations, or choose to travel to Utah. The friendly tour guides and well-equipped buses will make any initial tour of the sites informative and interesting.

Visited Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam on August 3rd... Had an awesome time... Thomas was our Host and he was Wonderful.. Our Driver made My Husband and I feel real comfortable driving in those hills... It was such a long ride, but Thomas kept us pretty entertained... Trip was well prepared on their part... Thanks Thomas and Gray Line ...

If you don't want to drive 6+ hours, Gray Line is the way to go! They were organized with pick up and the tour overall. Plenty of time to explore parts of the canyon (there are a lot of trails!). This tour is a self guided tour - you do your own exploration just within a time limit. Drop off could've been more organized - for example, we did a drop off at Treasure Island AND Mirage (which were basically right beside each other)... I feel like we could've saved some time by having a designated drop off spot that reaches all the hotels in reasonable walking distance.

Choosing which rim to visit during a Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas

Before we get into it, I want to give you some tips to help you choose the best tour from Vegas to the Grand Canyon , based on your preferences.

First, keep in mind that the area of the park that’s closest to Sin City is the West Rim. So, Las Vegas tours to the Grand Canyon West Rim are often the cheapest. The views from the West Rim are very nice, but it’s also a super popular spot, so it’s often crowded.

As for the South Rim, it’s further away but is known for its stunning views. It’s my favorite part of the park, so if you want an unforgettable experience, I recommend booking a tour of the Grand Canyon South Rim from Las Vegas . The North Rim is also beautiful, but it’s more secluded, so there aren’t many tours to this area. It’s also closed during the winter, so keep that in mind.

Another thing to consider is that if you want to take a Grand Canyon helicopter tour from Las Vegas , remember that only the West Rim tours allow helicopter landings. If you want to do a landing at the bottom of the canyon, you should book an excursion that goes to the West Rim.

With all that in mind, let’s take a look at the top-rated Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas !

1. Grand Voyager , the best Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas

First, the Grand Voyager is one of the best Las Vegas tours to the Grand Canyon West Rim because it includes a canyon floor landing. In fact, if you have your heart set on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour , this is one of the best.

You’ll depart from Sin City in a sightseeing airplane, which will allow you to get nice views of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Then, you’ll arrive at the Grand Canyon, where you’ll take a helicopter to the bottom of the canyon, about 4,000 feet below the rim. The excursion also includes a pontoon boat ride along the Colorado River, making this one of the best Grand Canyon tours from Vegas .

After your boat ride, you’ll take the helicopter back to the West Rim, where you’ll have time to visit popular viewpoints like Eagle and Guano Point.

• Highlights : West Rim by ✈️🚁🛥️ 🚐
• Price from : $579
• Duration : 7 hours

2. Deluxe Helicopter , our favorite Grand Canyon tour from Vegas

This is a more luxurious Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas , featuring hotel pick-up from the Vegas Strip and a comfortable airplane ride to Grand Canyon National Park. Once you arrive there, you’ll board a sightseeing helicopter and soar over the South and North Rims.

Then, you’ll enjoy a Hummer ride to some of the most beautiful lookout points along the South Rim. This excursion stands out since it’s one of the only ones that goes to the Grand Canyon North Rim from Las Vegas . In fact, it’s considered one of the top Las Vegas helicopter tours , so it’s totally worth it. It may not be the cheapest, but it takes less than an hour to get to the park, so you’ll save time on transportation.

This bus trip is another great Grand Canyon West tour from Las Vegas . You’ll board a comfortable coach and enjoy the scenic views as you make your way to the Hoover Dam . Spend some time photographing this impressive structure, then hop back on the bus to go to Grand Canyon National Park.

Once you get to the West Rim, you’ll have plenty of things to do since the excursion can include various add-ons like a helicopter flight to the bottom of the canyon or admission to the famous Skywalk. If you just opt for the basic version, it’s one of the cheapest Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas , so I recommend it if you’re traveling on a budget .

• Price from : $109
• Duration : 11-11.5 hours
• Description : Hotel pick-up; bus tour to Hoover Dam, and Grand Canyon West Rim; Skywalk and helicopter ride optional

Another good option for budget-conscious travelers is this South Rim daytrip . Easily considered one of the best Grand Canyon bus tours from Las Vegas , this excursion includes a comfortable ride to the national park, so you don’t have to worry about driving there yourself. This is especially convenient since the South Rim is further away (about 4.5 hours).

Along the way, you’ll pass by some interesting sights and learn more about the natural wonder of the Grand Canyon. Once you reach the park, you’ll have time to explore the various lookout points and admire the views.

If you want to upgrade your Grand Canyon South Rim tour , book this excursion , which adds an exhilarating helicopter ride over the park.

6. Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend tour from Las Vegas

Last but not least, this full-day tour is an amazing Las Vegas – Grand Canyon day trip that visits not one, but three natural wonders.

It starts with a bus ride from Las Vegas to Antelope Canyon , where you’ll enjoy a guided hike through this incredible slot canyon. Your Navajo guide will share stories and interesting facts about this place, and you’ll get to see the marvelous colors and undulating walls of the canyon.

Then, you’ll visit nearby Horseshoe Bend , where you’ll experience the thrill of looking out from the 1,00-foot viewpoint to see the meander of the Colorado River. The last leg of this Grand Canyon South Rim bus tour from Las Vegas is the national park, where you’ll explore some of the Grand Canyon’s most iconic viewpoints.

It’s a full, action-packed day, but it’s perfect if you’re short on time and want to see all these incredible places. Plus, all your admission fees are included. Of course, if you’d rather dedicate all your time to the Grand Canyon, you can do one of the other tours above and look into one of the best Antelope Canyon tours from Vegas .

Las Vegas to Grand Canyon tour price comparison

To help you choose the best Grand Canyon trip from Las Vegas based on your budget, timeline, and preferences, here is a price comparison. Below, you can see the costs for each excursion I mentioned, as well as their durations, transportation options, and highlights:

As you can see, most of the cheaper Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas are bus tours that go to the West Rim. If you book a Grand Canyon helicopter tour from Vegas or add the upgrade to your excursion, expect to pay more.

How far is the Grand Canyon from Vegas?

A good question we get asked a lot regarding Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas is how far the national park is from Sin City.

The closest area to Vegas is the West Rim. It’s about a 2.5-hour drive away, so if you plan on renting a car in Las Vegas and driving yourself, it’s not too bad of a drive. The South Rim is about 280 miles from Vegas, while the North Rim is 270 miles away, so driving there takes around 4 to 4.5 hours.

During our 10-day USA West Coast road trip , we drove to the Grand Canyon. I will say that taking a road trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon can be lots of fun, and you have more freedom to make stops along the way. If you’re visiting the West or South Rims, you can go to Boulder City, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead first. And if you’re going to the North Rim, you can take a detour to see nearby sites like the Valley of Fire , Zion National Park , and Bryce Canyon .

Of course, for those who prefer not to drive or don’t want to deal with organizing a trip, taking a Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas is the quickest and easiest option.

Ms. Aynat, interested in the South Rim G.C. tour but, my wife (65 yrs.) can’t walk for more than 1 hr. straight. Which tour would be more appropriate for us? Thank you for your time & recommendation. Carlos R.

In that case, a bus tour or helicopter tour would be best since you can get great views without having to hike.

Do the buses have room for an electric scooter?

Is it an electric scooter for recreational use? Or is it more like a motorized wheelchair? If you notify the tour company in advance, they should be able to accommodate a motorized wheelchair.

I hope that helps!

Does the bus just drop you off at the west rim and then you have to do a lot of walking? Same question t for south rim. Or is it get off buss take pics and get back on bus? I ask because I can’t walk much. Please answer

Hi Ruth, The West Rim bus tour drops you off at the Skywalk area, which is where Eagle Point is located. You can do the hike to Guano Point (it’s one of the best views of the Grand Canyon), but it is about an hour-long hike. The South Rim bus tour is similar in that you’ll get dropped off at a viewpoint (Mather Point). However, you’ll have the option to take the bus to Bright Angel or do the hike. Hope this helps!

• Grand Canyon bus tours from Las Vegas

West Rim or South Rim?

The West Rim and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon are both reachable on a day trip from Las Vegas. However, there are several important differences you must consider when choosing which one to visit.

Distance from Las Vegas

• West Rim is 130 miles (210 km) away
• South Rim is 280 miles (450 km) away

Bus tour duration

• West Rim bus tours last from 7 to 12 hours
• South Rim bus tours last from 14 to 16 hours

On-site activities

• West Rim has the Skywalk, ziplining and more helicopter tour options
• South Rim has more viewpoints and hiking trails

Jurisdictions

• The Hualapai Tribe operates the West Rim’s attractions and services, which are not part of the Grand Canyon National Park system
• The National Park Service runs all the attractions and services on the South Rim, which is part of the U.S. National Park system

Neither rim will disappoint you. I suggest going to the South Rim if you want the most iconic views of the Grand Canyon and an authentic national park experience.

Visit the West Rim if you’re craving more of an adrenaline rush—whether by traversing the Skywalk, zooming across a ravine on a zipline, or landing on the canyon floor during a helicopter ride.

Travel Tips

• Most bus tours are stroller and wheelchair friendly. However, the South Rim has more paved paths, which makes it more suitable for those with mobility issues.
• Most tours allow children of all ages. However, some tours have age restrictions of up to six years old, so be sure to confirm this before booking.

Visiting the West Rim

No Selfies Allowed on the Skywalk

All personal items must be stored in a locker beforehand, so you won’t be able to sneak your phone out for a selfie. However, after your Skywalk experience, you’ll receive a card with all the photos taken of your group available for purchase, in print or digital.

Buy Attraction Tickets in Advance

Although it’s possible to buy on-site tickets for the Skywalk and other West Rim attractions, most have limited availability and will sell out during the high season. I recommend booking online in advance with the tour provider to avoid the disappointment of sold-out tickets.

Check Zipline Height & Weight Limits

There is no minimum age for the zipline, but you must be at least 4 feet tall (1.22 meters) and weigh from 90 lbs to 265 lbs (40 kg to 120 kg).

Watch What You Wear

The West Rim has a dress code policy to maintain a family-friendly environment. Be aware that shirt and shoes are required at all times. Also, you can’t wear clothes that are too revealing or with offensive language or images.

Visiting the South Rim

Take Advantage of the Free Shuttle Bus

The South Rim has a free shuttle bus service. I recommend using it if you want to travel more quickly to the next viewpoint. The routes and times change throughout the year, so make sure to check the official National Park Service website for updated information.

Walk the Trail of Time

Between the Yavapai Geology Museum and the Grand Canyon Village, you can walk the paved Trail of Time , on which each meter represents a million years of history.

I found this trail both beautiful and insightful. It was fun to learn about how the Grand Canyon was created over billions of years while stopping at viewpoints to appreciate the result.

Cool Down at the Visitor Center

If you need a break from the heat, you can catch the 20-minute film, Grand Canyon: A Journey of Wonder, which plays every 30 minutes at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center .

Download the Free National Park Service App

The NPS App is a great tool to create your own self-guided tour of the South Rim. I used it while on the bus to the Grand Canyon to start planning the perfect route around the rim.
