Grand Canyon Tours, Flights & Tickets

Helicopters, day trips, the railway, sunset tours, Skywalk tickets and Antelope Canyon — chosen, sorted and ready to book.

You can see the Grand Canyon perfectly well on your own with a car and a park pass. Tours earn their place when they solve a problem: getting there from Las Vegas or Phoenix without driving eight hours, seeing the canyon from the air, getting into Antelope Canyon (which requires a Navajo guide), or catching sunset without the parking scramble.

Below are 56 experiences we selected from the many hundreds on sale, grouped by what you want to do. All are live GetYourGuide products with real reviews. Prices are indicative “from” prices in US dollars at the time of writing; you will see live prices in your own currency when you click through.

First, know which canyon you are booking. Most tours from Las Vegas go to Grand Canyon West on Hualapai land, not to the national park’s South Rim. Both are spectacular, but they are 250 road miles apart. Our comparison explains the difference.

Choose by what you want

Day trips from Las Vegas

West Rim tours are shorter and cheaper and often add Hoover Dam; South Rim tours are longer days but show the national park. The Page combos add Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend.

Grand Canyon tours: FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do Las Vegas tours go to the South Rim or the West Rim?

Most go to Grand Canyon West, about 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. South Rim tours exist but are much longer days. The tour title usually says which; if it mentions the Skywalk or Hoover Dam, it is almost certainly the West Rim.

Is the Skywalk included in Grand Canyon West tours?

Usually it is an optional upgrade. Check the option you choose when booking.

Are park entrance fees included?

It depends on the tour. Many South Rim tours include the national park fee; West Rim tours include the Hualapai entry package. The listing says what is included.

Can helicopters land in the Grand Canyon?

At Grand Canyon West, yes — tours land on Hualapai land near the river. Over the national park (South Rim), flights do not land in the canyon.

Can I cancel?

Most tours on GetYourGuide can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start. Check the policy on each listing.
