If we cannot pick up directly at your hotel we will send you to the closest one which is usually within walking distance. After pick up, we will bring you to our check in location to have a breakfast snack and to board the Luxury Motor Coach Buses. The Luxury Coach Bus seats 56 passengers. There is a restroom on board. We also have free Wifi, outlets, and TV’s for your entertainment. Driving time from Las Vegas to the West Rim is around 3 – 3 ½ hours each way.

Once we get to the Canyon you will have a total of 4 hours to tour. You are on your own to go to the three different points of interest at the Canyon. There are courtesy shuttles at the Canyon that will take you to all of the points. The shuttles run every 15 minutes from point to point.



1st viewpoint is Eagle Point is where the Skywalk, Hualapai Market, & Indian Village are located. The Indian Village has several examples of Southwest and Great Plains Indian architecture. It includes Hualapai wickiups, tipis (teepees) and Navajo Hogan’s. At this viewpoint you will see all of the structures and surrounding areas that were built by each tribe with authentic materials, exactly those used for thousands of years. There is ample information provided on the construction and significance of each structure. The information is both interesting and informative. The scenery is wonderful at Eagle Point but be careful about walking too close to the edge, as there are no guard rails to prevent anyone from falling 4000+ feet to the bottom. To date no one has accidentally fallen, just a heads-up for caution.



2nd viewpoint is Guano Point where there is the Historic Mine Remnants & an Easy Scenic Hiking Trail. There is a short hike that you can take; some say it’s the most beautiful point out of the three. You will be able to the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River. As with the other sites, caution should be exercised as no fencing or railing is provided along the paths. There are also many vendors offering handmade Hualapai Indian jewelry and art for sale.



3rd viewpoint is the Hualapai Ranch which is set us like an Old Cowboy Town. It is an old western recreation town that was erected in 2004 and offers a gift shop, restrooms and dining facilities. There are a few optional tours that can be purchased once you are at the Canyon such as a horse-drawn wagon ride & horseback riding.



The bus will meet you at Hualapai Ranch to take you back to Las Vegas. You should be back on the Las Vegas Strip at around 6:00 – 6:30 PM. (We cannot predict any delays due to traffic, weather, maintenance, etc.)
