💡Does the Grand Canyon West tour include the Skywalk?

The Skywalk is included only if you book the Skywalk option, otherwise it is a paid add-on, on this 9-10 hour full-day tour from Las Vegas at $189 per person. You pass Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, then stop at Eagle Point, the optional glass Skywalk suspended 4,000 feet up, and Guano Point, with a Native American village and trails. Best for travelers wanting the West Rim in one day who don't mind no hotel pickup.

🎯 Why People Book This

Travelers book this for one full day that turns the Grand Canyon West Rim into a round trip from Las Vegas, with the drive, the Hualapai reservation fee, and the viewpoints handled for USD 189 per person. The route passes Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, then gives you two stops: Eagle Point, where the glass Skywalk juts out over the drop, and Guano Point, with wider views down to the Colorado River. The Skywalk ticket is only included on the tiers that name it, so the price you weigh depends on which option you pick. What you're really choosing here is whether the canyon is worth a 9-to-10-hour day rather than a closer, shorter outing.

🗺️ The Experience

The Grand Canyon West Rim Tour with Optional Skywalk is a 9–10 hour day trip from Las Vegas to the West Rim on the Hualapai Reservation, starting at USD 189 per person with Empire Vacations.

At the base price, that $189 covers the things that are otherwise hard to handle on your own: the round-trip in an air-conditioned vehicle, the Hualapai reservation fee, and all taxes. What it does not cover is just as worth knowing. There is no hotel pickup, so you meet on the sidewalk next to the Bell Desk at 6:45 AM. Meals and gratuities are extra, and the Skywalk itself is not automatically in the price. The booking splits into tiers around exactly those two add-ons: basic entry, with lunch, with the Skywalk, or with both. The base gets you to the rim; the tier you pick decides whether you eat there and whether you walk out over the drop.

The driving is the long part of the day, the route running each way past Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, which leaves a few hours on the rim itself. Time on site is built around the viewpoints: Eagle Point, where the glass Skywalk juts 70 feet out and sits 4,000 feet above the canyon floor, and Guano Point, with wider views down to the Colorado River and a trail to an old cable-car station. The price buys you to the edge; what you add decides how much of it you actually do.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: What you give up here is the lower starting point of the budget coach tours, and what you get back is a day already built around both viewpoints instead of one. This is for the traveler who wants the West Rim handed to them whole, Eagle Point with the Skywalk and Guano Point with its views down to the Colorado River in a single full day, without sorting out which add-ons get them there. The 4.8 from 36 reviews is the kind that suits someone who'd rather arrive knowing the day is set.

Worth it if:

you want both viewpoints locked in from the start, not Eagle Point on the base ticket with Guano Point as something you decide later
you'd rather spend a 9-10 hour day at the rim than weigh which upgrades to bolt onto a cheaper fare
you're coming for the canyon itself and don't want the day padded with a Hoover Dam stop

Skip it if:

you want Hoover Dam in the same trip, which the West Rim Bus Tour at $150 builds in over 12 hours
a lower entry point matters more to you than having both viewpoints pre-set, in which case the $94 Eagle Point tour with optional upgrades lets you start small and add only what you want

Choose this over the $94 Eagle Point Bus Tour with Optional Upgrades if:

you'd rather both viewpoints be settled before you board than decide Guano Point at the rim

💡 Insider Tip

The Skywalk café at Eagle Point is the only meal stop on the route, so on the Basic Entry or plain Skywalk tier you'll be buying lunch there or going without — pick a "Lunch Included" tier if you'd rather not gamble on café lines during your 60-minute stop.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

4.5

★★★★★★★★★★LasVegasTour Rating

“What you're actually buying here is a single decision pushed onto you at booking: the four option tiers mean lunch and the Skywalk are add-ons, not givens, so the $189 base is the floor, not the price. The drive past Lake Mead and Hoover Dam frames a day that gives each viewpoint roughly an hour. Worth the long day for first-timers; pick the Skywalk-and-lunch tier or you'll feel nickel-and-dimed.”
