Grand Canyon West Private Tour: Eagle Point, Guano Point & Optional Skywalk from Las Vegas
Leave the Strip behind for a day and feel the canyon’s scale at Grand Canyon West. This private tour from Las Vegas combines swift, comfortable transport with guided stops at Guano Point and Eagle Point—Skywalk access optional—so you get maximum view time with minimal fuss.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate for the desert
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person; bottled water is provided on board but carry extra for rim-side walks where shade is scarce.
Sun protection required
Wide-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen are important—the rim sits around 4,000 ft with intense sun and reflective rock.
Bring sturdy footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good traction make Guano Point’s loose scree and short climbs much easier and safer.
Skywalk ticket logistics
The Skywalk ticket is purchased at the park visitor center on arrival and is optional; budget extra time if you plan to buy it there.
