You can travel from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West by taking a helicopter tour that flies over the Mojave Desert and Colorado River. This route includes a 4,000-foot descent to the canyon floor and a subsequent rafting excursion through the Black Canyon.

The tour includes a helicopter flight over the Mojave Desert and Hoover Dam, a landing at the bottom of the Grand Canyon West Rim for 30 minutes of exploration, and a guided rafting trip down the Colorado River through Black Canyon.

The complete experience typically lasts between six and seven hours, accounting for hotel transfers, the helicopter flight, the canyon floor exploration, and the Black Canyon rafting segment.

The Black Canyon rafting trip is a smooth-water float rather than whitewater rapids, allowing passengers to view the canyon walls and wildlife from the raft.

Round-trip ground transportation is provided with pickup from select Las Vegas Strip and downtown hotels, taking you to the local heliport for your departure.

All passengers must provide their exact body weight at booking for helicopter weight distribution, and participants must be capable of navigating uneven terrain at the canyon bottom and boarding the river raft.

The tour is not wheelchair accessible due to the uneven natural terrain at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the physical requirements for boarding the river rafts.

Flights and rafting operate year-round, but in the event of severe weather, the tour may be rescheduled or the helicopter portion may be substituted with a ground-based alternative.

You should bring a valid government-issued photo ID, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light jacket, as temperatures at the canyon bottom and on the river can be significantly cooler than in Las Vegas.

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of the start time to receive a full refund, while changes made within 24 hours are non-refundable.

Large bags and luggage are not permitted on the helicopter due to strict space and weight limitations, so you must limit your belongings to a small camera or phone.
