Read what travelers share about their experience visiting Grand Canyon — from practical tips to personal highlights.
Most Grand Canyon Skywalk tours depart from Las Vegas, offering a full-day adventure to the West Rim. You'll ride in comfortable coaches or luxury vans through the Mojave Desert, stopping at iconic landmarks before stepping out over the canyon edge on a glass bridge.
Step onto a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge suspended 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. Walk 70 feet past the rim's edge for an unparalleled, thrilling view straight down into the gorge.
Almost all tours include a stop at the Hoover Dam Memorial Bridge. You'll have time to snap photos of this massive engineering marvel and the Colorado River below.
Enjoy a scenic drive through the Arizona desert. Your guide will point out the unique, ancient Joshua Trees that dot the arid landscape on the way to the Hualapai Reservation.
Explore the primary overlooks at the West Rim. These viewpoints offer dramatic, panoramic vistas of the canyon's colorful rock layers and the winding river.
Many tours offer the chance to upgrade your day with a helicopter flight. Descend thousands of feet to the canyon floor and hop on a pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River.
The West Rim is located on the Hualapai Reservation. You'll learn about the Native American tribe that has inhabited the region for thousands of years and currently operates the Skywalk.
Planning a trip to the Grand Canyon Skywalk requires a bit of preparation, especially regarding strict security rules and what is actually included in your ticket.
Pay close attention to your tour options. While general admission to the West Rim is usually included, the actual Skywalk ticket is frequently listed as an optional upgrade that you must select at checkout.
You cannot take your phone or camera onto the Skywalk. All personal items, including backpacks and purses, are strictly prohibited to prevent scratching the glass floor. Complimentary lockers are provided.
Due to strict security checkpoints at the Hoover Dam, large bags and suitcases are not allowed on the tour buses. Bring only a small daypack or purse that can fit under your seat.
The Skywalk is located at Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Reservation, which is not part of Grand Canyon National Park. You will not need to pay the standard $30 National Park vehicle fee, and America the Beautiful passes are not accepted here.
You can choose from large 50-passenger motorcoaches, small-group tours in luxury Mercedes Sprinter vans (max 14 people), or completely private tours. Small group tours often include lunch and Skywalk tickets by default.
Many full-day tours include a hot lunch at the canyon, and some premium options even include a sit-down breakfast on the way. Bottled water is typically provided on the bus, but you cannot bring outside food into the West Rim.
If you want more thrills, look for tours that offer add-ons like a helicopter descent to the canyon floor, a pontoon boat ride, or tickets for the West Rim Zipline.
Most Skywalk tours offer a flexible cancellation policy, allowing you to receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled departure time.
