Lake Mead ATV Adventure with Grand Canyon Heli Option
🎯 Why People Book This
🗺️ The Experience
🤔 Is It Worth It?
- you want to actually do something with your day, not just look out a window, and the ATV time is the reason you're booking
- you'd rather keep the helicopter as a choice you make later than commit to a flight-only tour upfront
- you want one trip that covers both the ground and the air without booking two separate excursions
- the Grand Canyon from above is the whole point for you, in which case the $479 Canyon Floor Landing tour spends its hours where you actually want to be, instead of on Lake Mead trails
- you don't want to ride an ATV at all, since that's the fixed core here and the heli is the optional part, not the other way around
- you'd rather spend most of the 7 hours doing something physical than sitting through a 3-hour aerial tour, and you treat the canyon flight as a bonus rather than the main event

💡 Insider Tip
LasVegasTour Editorial Review
“What you're actually buying here is three hours of real ATV time, not a sightseeing day, with the other four hours absorbed by shuttle, lunch and the optional 90-minute Grand Canyon helicopter add-on. The trade-off is genuine seat time over passive views, but the no-refund policy is unusually strict: wrong shoes or hair that won't fit a helmet means you're out with nothing back. Suitable for any fitness level, but read the rules before you book. The 4.9 across 105 riders says the operator runs it cleanly.”
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the helicopter flight included in the base price?▾
No. The helicopter flight is an optional upgrade. The ATV Only option does not include it, while the ATV Helicopter Combo option adds a 90-minute helicopter flight through the Grand Canyon with a champagne landing. The base price listed is USD 350 per person; confirm which option that figure covers when booking.
What happens if I don't have proper footwear?▾
You will be turned away with no refund. Closed-toe shoes are required. Crocs, flip flops, sandals, slides, and Yeezy Foam Runners are not accepted, and bags cannot be worn over shoes. If your footwear does not meet the requirement at check-in, you do not get your money back.
Can I swim in the Colorado River year-round?▾
No. Swimming is offered only during the summer months, at the halfway point of the ride. Outside of summer, swimming is not part of the tour.
How difficult is operating the ATV?▾
The tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels. The route covers 22 miles through Lake Mead National Park with about three hours of riding time. Helmets are required, you will get dirty, and the minimum age is 18 with valid photo ID. The facts do not detail the specific skill needed to operate the ATV; confirm with the operator if you have no riding experience.
Is hotel pickup included from all Strip hotels?▾
No. Hotel pickup and drop-off is provided for select hotels only. If your hotel is not on the list, you can meet at the start point. Confirm whether your hotel qualifies when booking.
What is the cancellation policy?▾
All sales are final and no refund is available for cancellations. You also will not be refunded if you are refused service for intoxication, if your footwear does not meet requirements at check-in, or if you cannot wear the required helmet because of hair or religious headwear.
