Grand Canyon West Rim Adventure by Plane with Skywalk

Excellent, awesome. Airplane from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon North rim, Skywalk, Helicopter to the canyon floor, boat ride on the Colorado river.

Lynsi and Brandon made our day even more memorable than we could have imagined. Lynsi, made sure we had all precise information before, during and after our tour. We were given a family photo as our departing gift. Plane flight was smooth and Brandon made us feel very comfortable and shared great facts about the area. They were so helpful and made our experience more than worth it. I would definitely do it all over again and will recommend any opportunity I get!

It was incredible! Josh the plane pilot was so friendly and pointed out all the good spots to see below. Don't miss this ride!

We booked this trip for 3 couples, all family. We booked through trip advisor/Westwind airlines. They were very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. John was our agent and he answered all our questions! On the day of our trip, We were greeted by Lindsey at the office and informed to use the bathroom, get some snacks and water for our day trip, and introduced to out pilot Josh. We were informed two young ladies would join our group and they were slot of fun. Westwind air was clean, staff very friendly and really took care of us! We loaded the plane and was off on time, precisely at 7:30 am. We arrived at the west rim about 8:30. We unloaded and we’re taken by bus to the west rim entrance, gift shops and restaurant. Josh took us to the gift center, bathrooms, and then we were lead up to the west rim skywalk. We packed away all our belongings and went out on the skywalk. The only disappointment of the day was the glass skywalk... it was dirty and the gentleman taking our photos was not into our group.. we came out with 12 photos of three couples... the two other gals included with our group had a photographer who was really into these ladies... this photographer took a lot of poses and pictures of these young ladies. After this session we went down to the gift shop at the skywalk rim and were given about a half hour to shop. We then were lead up together to the dining room, where we seated at three tables and given a choice of four menu options and drinks. The food was excellent. We spent about an hour here, then back to the gift shop. We then were bussed to Eagle point where we could hike and had beautiful views of the canyon and got some great panoramic photos. We then were bussed back to the terminal where we walked to the helicopter area. We were instructed by video of what to expect on the helicopter tour, and waited about 45 minutes or so for the helicopter. We were in the helicopter headed to the canyon basin. This was exhilarating and breathtaking... upon arrival we were let off the helicopter and walked down a slope and steps to the Colorado river where we boarded a pontoon boat and was taken on a guided tour down/of the Colorado river. Theresa, our tour guide was very informative and took a lot of time with our group. We then climbed back up the stairs to wait for the helicopter and again loaded and taken on a scenic ride back up the canyon side back to the terminal. It was the highlight of the trip! We then walked back to the terminal where our pilot Josh met us and we walked back to the plane terminal and loaded up and headed back to Phoenix. We arrived back at 3:30. It was a fun filled exciting day. The airplane flight was so gentle and smooth, as was the helicopter ride! We feel this was the best way to witness the Grand Canyon. We saw and experienced more in this 8 hour day then we ever could have on our own. All costs were included for entrance, skywalk rim, lunch, bussing, helicopter and boat ride. We did tip our pilot, our helicopter operator and boat guide. This was definitely worth the cost of the trip! Every aspect of the trip was well thought out, entertaining and accommodating!

I would highly recommend. Great way to see the canyon. Fun, beautiful day from the flight, to the lunch and boat trip up the canyon. Loved it!

This was an epic experience! Seeing the canyon from so many perspectives within just a few hours was unforgettable. Our guide Dan was awesome, made us at home, and shared a lot of great history/information. Highly recommend.

Amazing day!!! So worth it! Our pilot/guide John C. was excellent. The flight was so smooth. The entire family enjoyed the day.

We had an excellent time with Jon on our tour! He was a great pilot and host! There is no better way to experience the Grand Canyon than by plane, boat, AND helicopter! Simply amazing and well worth every penny!!

Great experience and great people. Enjoyed the variety of airplane, helicopter and boat. The scenery is unbelievable. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this day trip to the Grand Canyon. What a way to first see the Canyon - from the plane! The helicopter ride alone is worth the trip. The ride down and back on the Colorado River and the Skywalk - just icing on the cake!
