The Experience
Before You Go
Start early
Confirm your pickup time the night before; consolidated pickups mean an earlier meeting time but smoother routing. Expect a 12–13 hour day.
Sun protection and water
Bring at least 1.5–2 liters of water, high-SPF sunscreen, and a wide-brim hat—shade is scarce at stops like Seven Magic Mountains and Guano Point.
Footwear for walking tours
Sturdy closed-toe shoes are advised for the Hoover Dam walkway and uneven terrain at Guano Point and Seven Magic Mountains.
Skywalk decision
If you want to walk the glass Skywalk at Eagle Point, purchase the option in advance—timing and ticketing can affect how long you spend at Eagle Point.
