What To Expect

Hoover Dam Bypass

Make a brief stop at the Hoover Dam bypass bridge for a photo opportunity and amazing views of the Dam.

Grand Canyon West

Enjoy a day away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas and head to the Grand Canyon's west rim - home to the world-famous Skywalk. Your tour begins with a brief stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo opportunity and amazing view of the Dam and Bypass Bridge. After a relaxing bus ride through the 900 year old Joshua Tree forest, you will arrive at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. Once here, you will receive a ticket for lunch and your shuttle ticket which will allow you to move about the canyon very easily. You will have approximately three (3) hours to explore here on your own.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Your first stop will be Eagle Point. Here, you can step out onto the glass skywalk, a U-shaped glass deck that extends 70 feet beyond the rim of the Canyon giving you a full view of the 4,000 foot drop to the Colorado River below. The views from here are nothing short of spectacular and be sure to spot the eagle in the facing rock. Also at Eagle Point is a Native American Village which displays many tribal homes and depicts the lifestyle of the local natives and you can watch cultural activities such as performances by Indian dances in the amphitheater. This is an optional upgrade that you can select upon checkout.

Guano Point

From here, you can make your way to Guano Point with even more spectacular views over the Colorado River. You can hike the trail here which leads to the highest point where the scenic vantage offers a majestic view of the Colorado River or just simply relax and enjoy the peacefulness of Grand Canyon West whilst enjoying a hot meal with stunning views!

I was on a trip to Vegas and got a chance to visit the Grand Canyon West Rim. The day tour was very well timed and managed. Our pick up was around 6:15 in the morning, which resulted in we being the first tourists at the site. There are 3 main attractions connected through hop-on hop-off shuttles; so we typically got around an hour at each point. I must say that we could have spent at least half an hour more at each spot, but the plus side of this was that we were back to Vegas in time to enjoy the evening :)

Booked a tour with SWEETours, Inc. for me and my wife. We were picked up at our hotel promptly by Bill (our driver) who then grabbed another couple at another hotel and then off to the SWEETours main terminal to transfer to a motor coach. We were informed that we were going to travel in the smaller coach that picked us up at the hotel due to size of our group heading to the west rim. Continental breakfast was provided which consisted of grabbing coffee outside the SWEETours building and using the bathroom in a portable bathroom. You grab your continental breakfast (banana, muffin and Belvita crackers) as you get back on the smaller van. Off we go. It is about a 3 plus hour trip to the West Rim as we made a short stop at Hoover Dam (which is quite impressive). On your journey, you also make a some pit stops for bathroom breaks (remember we did not take a motor coach which has a bathroom on board). The pit stops are at gas stations. The ride to the West Rim was one of the bumpiest rides you will ever take. The roads are in poor condition and when you are riding in a smaller van/bus you feel every bump. This lasts almost the entire time. Once you get closer to the West Rim you drive through a Joshua Tree forest which is quite impressive and scenic. Then to the Grand Canyon. You get dropped off at the main airport terminal (they have helicopter and plane tours) where you transfer to another shuttle bus that is ran by the operators of the West Rim. First stop is Eagle Point/Skywalk. Upon leaving the bus and walking up to the rim at this location (mind you that there are no fences), you pretty much gasp at the wonder of this geological marvel. I am afraid of heights so you can imagine my nervousness as people stood steps away from the rim. BUT WHAT A VIEW, Next stop is Guano Point. If you thought the views could not get better, well they do at Guano Point. From here you can walk a trail and also see the Colorado River. My wife suggested that we have lunch at Guano Point (outside seating). This was a great choice as the food (chicken, mashed potatoes, corn) was quite good and you could enjoy the views while eating. The third stop is the Hualapai Ranch. There are no views of the Grand Canyon here and this location offers the only inside dining option. However, the ranch in my opinion is a tourist trap as there are some smaller shops to buy that last minute souvenir or pay to ride the mechanical bull or buy tokens to use at the shooting arcade. Quite honestly I would skip this location if this is a couples trip. Might be ok for a family with kids but in my opinion the purpose of going to the Grand Canyon is to marvel at this natural wonder. We headed back to the "base" station and hopped back on our ride back to Vegas. The ride back is quicker but still rather bumpy. Overall, great trip. Just get pass some of the bumps in the road!!!
