1-Day Bus Tour to South Rim Grand Canyon from Las Vegas
Journey to one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World – Grand Canyon National Park!
Your professional driver/guide will provide live narration en route to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. Sit back and relax onboard state-of-the-art deluxe buses.
A hotel pick-up in Las Vegas is the first step in this Grand Canyon tour. Pass through the Mojave Desert, the Black Mountains, and the Grand Wash Cliffs of Arizona as you make your way east on an air-conditioned, luxury motorcoach.
After lunch and souvenir shopping at the Grand Canyon National Geographic Visitor Center, head to the South Rim of the Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park for some exploration time. Visit Bright Angel Lodge, a historic Grand Canyon South Rim hotel, and Mather Point, home to the most popular Grand Canyon overlook and hiking trails that line the canyon’s edge. See the Grand Canyon’s widest and deepest point, which is over 8,400 feet deep and 21 miles across.
An IMAX experience that includes “Grand Canyon Discovery and Adventure,” the most-watched film in IMAX history, and/or an educational and breathtakingly beautiful Jeep tour along the canyon’s rim are both available. A scenic helicopter ride over the canyon’s South Rim is another option (this replaces the visit to Mather Point and Visitors Center).
