12-Hour Grand Canyon West Skywalk Hoover Dam Small Group
🎯 Why People Book This
🗺️ The Experience
🤔 Is It Worth It?
- you'd rather spend the day with a handful of people than file off a full-size coach at every viewpoint
- you want both the Skywalk and Hoover Dam in one run and don't want to choose between them
- a perfect track record matters to you, and 326 reviews holding at 5/5 is the kind of consistency you trust before committing 12 hours
- you're happy on a packed coach and the small group does nothing for you, in which case the Eagle Point bus tour covers similar ground for $94 and you keep the difference
- a long day wears on you fast, since this runs the full 12 hours and the VIP coach tour wraps in about 10.5
- you'd rather ride with a small group at a steady 5/5 than save on a tour sitting at 4.2/5, when both run the same 12 hours

💡 Insider Tip
LasVegasTour Editorial Review
“Most of this 12-hour day is a transport solution: of the time on the clock, four hours are the round-trip drive across the Mohave Desert, and you're buying someone else to handle it rather than the 30 minutes at Eagle Point. The trade is real driving for a fixed schedule with the Skywalk pass, breakfast and picnic lunch handled. Worth the long day for first-timers; return visitors who'd rather self-drive can skip it. The 327 five-star reviews say the operator runs that day reliably.”
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tour to the West Rim or the South Rim?▾
This tour goes to Grand Canyon West. It includes guided walks at Eagle Point and Guano Point, plus a view of the Colorado River.
Is the Skywalk included in the price?▾
It depends on which option you book. The Base Tour does not include the Skywalk. The All Inclusive option includes the Skywalk pass and meals. Cell phones are allowed on the Skywalk for these tours.
How much time is spent at each destination?▾
Based on the itinerary: 15 minutes at the Las Vegas sign, 30 minutes at Henderson for breakfast, 45 minutes at Hoover Dam, 30 minutes at the Grand Canyon West visitor center, 60 minutes at the Skywalk and Eagle Point area, 30 minutes for the Eagle Point village walk, 120 minutes at Guano Point including the guided walk and picnic lunch, and 15 minutes at Dolan Springs for Joshua Tree National Monument. There are two 120-minute driving segments across the Mohave Desert. Total tour length is 12 hours.
Are meals really included or just stops?▾
It varies by meal and option. The breakfast stop at McDonald's in Henderson is a stop where you buy your own food; the operator states this is not currently included in the price. The picnic lunch at Guano Point is included on the All Inclusive option and consists of an Arby's Marketfresh sandwich, fresh fruit, chips, cookies, and bottled water.
What makes this different from larger group tours?▾
Groups are limited to 12 or fewer. The operator describes it as fully guided rather than a dropoff tour with return-to-bus time, and includes guided walks at Hoover Dam, Eagle Point, and Guano Point.
Does the tour go inside Hoover Dam or just over it?▾
The tour includes a short guided walk onto the dam, described as a guided tour over Hoover Dam rather than only a photo stop. Going inside the dam is not specified in the tour details; confirm with the operator when booking.
