All-Inclusive Small-Group Grand Canyon West Skywalk & Hoover Dam Tour from Las Vegas
Leave the Strip for a day of engineered might and ancient stone: this small-group tour bundles Hoover Dam’s concrete grandeur with Hualapai-led access to Grand Canyon West, including the Skywalk and Guano Point. Expect guided walks, included meals, and a long, scenic drive that rewards patience with some of the canyon’s most dramatic rim views.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate early and often
Desert sun and wind can dehydrate you faster than you expect—carry at least 1–2 liters and top up with the bottled water included on the tour.
Sun protection is required
Wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are must-haves—shade is limited at viewpoints and on the Guano Point walk.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Paths at Guano Point and around Eagle Point are uneven and rocky; trail runners or hiking shoes will keep you stable.
Pack light for security
There are bag checks at some Skywalk areas and limited storage; bring a small daypack and keep valuables secure.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sunrise views near Guano Point for softer light and fewer crowds
- •The short native village walk—small craft stalls often sell handmade jewelry and storytelling offers cultural context
Wildlife
- •Ravens commonly patrol rim areas
- •Desert bighorn sheep can occasionally be spotted on distant ledges
Conservation Note
Visitors are urged to stay on designated paths and pack out trash; the Hualapai manage sites with strict rules to minimize erosion and protect cultural resources.
Hoover Dam, completed in the 1930s, transformed water management and power for the Southwest; Grand Canyon West is on Hualapai tribal land where tourism helps fund local services.
