Early-Access Grand Canyon West Rim SUV Tour from Las Vegas with Lunch
Beat the crowds with a luxury SUV ride from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon West. Visit Eagle Point and the Skywalk, hike the Guano Point ridge, and return by early afternoon with lunch and bottled water included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to avoid heat and crowds
Pickup is typically around 6 a.m.; earlier arrival at viewpoints means softer light and fewer people on the Skywalk and overlooks.
Bring at least 1 liter of water
Bottled water is provided, but carrying your own helps if you plan to hike Guano Point or stay longer at overlooks.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Guano Point’s short hike is rocky and uneven—trail shoes or light hikers will keep you steady on loose scree.
Protect gear for Skywalk rules
The Skywalk restricts backpacks and loose equipment—keep a small daypack or leave extras on the vehicle.
