As someone planning to visit the U.S. I’m sure you’ve heard of America’s naturally formed wonder of the world: The Grand Canyon. Naturally, you would want to visit such a place but how can you fit it into your busy schedule while also ensuring you see it from the best possible angle? Well, if you’re looking to get the incredible views in the span of a single day trip, Empire Vacations’ Grand Canyon West Rim Skywalk tour is the answer!

The Grand Canyon West Rim tour begins with a guaranteed departure from Las Vegas in the morning. You’ll journey on an air conditioned bus with a professional tour guide, while the tour is mostly in English, the guide is multilingual to better serve and assist you with any problems you may face. On the ride, you will pass Lake Meade and the Hoover Dam, giving you an opportunity to see even more incredible American sights. Once you arrive at the Canyon, you will be shuttled to Eagle Point, here you will truly feel the majesty of the area surrounding you. 

Eagle Point is home to the Skywalk, a glass walkway that towers 4,000 feet in the air above the Grand Canyon. Here you’ll be able to see an incredible, one of a kind, view that can never be forgotten. The way the bridge is designed allows for you to walk along the path with a feeling of weightlessness that isn’t for the faint of heart! 

After you float across the bridge, taking in your 270 degree view and absorbing the magnificence of it all, it will be time to take a short break in one of the Native American villages of the Hualapai tribe. Here you will be able to discover some fascinating history about the indigenous people, who have lived on this land for far longer than the Anglo-Americans of today! You will also be provided with an already paid for lunch at the delicious Skywalk Cafe.

After your lunch, the tour will take you to Guano Point which boasts even more stunning views, it has also been a place beloved by cinema directors around the country who film at its scenic heights! During the afternoon you can slow down and bask in the sights (make sure to take plenty of pictures!) or you can keep the energy up and go hiking on one of the two storied trails rich in history nearby. Learn about the ways in which Americans of old traversed the very path you walk on today!

After your afternoon you will stop by a Hualapai market which is home to authentic, native crafted goods and souvenirs, perfect for your families back home! The day will conclude with a stop at Guano Point Cafe where you can grab a snack as you look out at the views from the restaurant seating area. In a single day you will have seen the majesty of the Grand Canyon and on top of that, the early evening return time gives you plenty of time to explore and have fun in Vegas! Have fun and kick back to close out your exhilarating day!

If you are seeking a compact yet fulfilling day of adventure around the Grand Canyon, then this tour just might be for you! With breathtaking vistas, interactions with Native Americans, and a wonderful meal, this tour is one you won’t regret taking!
