Our guide to the Grand Canyon experience
The day begins with a magical scenic flight over the Grand Canyon, offering aerial views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the surrounding desert, and, of course, the world-famous canyon itself.
The twin-otter aircraft is fully air-conditioned and purpose-built with enlarged windows and high wings that ensure great views of the landmarks as they glide below.
Marvel at the brilliant colors that adorn the two-billion-year-old canyon walls before landing on the western rim. Upon arriving at the canyon, enjoy a self-guided tour that allows you ample time to explore the various stops along the canyon rim and capture the unique views each has to offer. Discover the intriguing culture of the Hualapai people that can be seen in artisanal art exhibits and shows.
A free hop-on/hop-off shuttle makes it easy to travel between points of interest, including Guano Point and Eagle Point.

Layered clothing is recommended from March to September, while winter clothing is recommended from October to mid-March. Wear comfortable shoes. The terrain of the Grand Canyon is rugged, rocky and uneven.
