VIP at the Rim Helicopter Tour

This fantastic VIP tour starts from our Boulder City air terminal and includes a thrilling helicopter ride with sights along the way, including Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River. As you cross into the canyon, enjoy close-up views of the majestic scenery before landing at the airport. From there, guests will board a hop-on/hop-off shuttle to visit the popular viewpoints, including Guano Point and Eagle Point, home to the famous Skywalk. The bridge is a one-of-a-kind 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass platform, which rises 4,000 feet above the rim. Guests can upgrade their adventure with the purchase of a Skywalk general admission pass (PBW-3K). At Guano Point, guests can enjoy a brief hike and enjoy 360-degree views of the canyon.

Passengers will have time to explore and take pictures as you take in the marvel of the canyon's beautiful rock formations before heading back to the Las Vegas area.
