Las Vegas Day Trip Grand Canyon
One of the Great Wonders
While you’re visiting Las Vegas, why not check out theGrand Canyon? Listed as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is located approximately 250 miles from the Las Vegas strip. Grand Canyon trips are fun for the whole family, and there are many different tour options available.
Vegas Grand Canyon tours can be customized to meet your budget, and also how much time you have to spend. Las Vegas tours to the Grand Canyon operate daily, and include transportation by bus, helicopter, or airplane, but you can also combine these with 4×4 tours, hiking, horseback riding, or rafting. If you have time, you could combine your Las Vegas Grand Canyon tours with a Las Vegas Day Trip Hoover Dam, since you will pass right by the Hoover Dam on your way to the Grand Canyon!
The least expensive Las Vegas Grand Canyon tours option would be to travel by bus. However, this will cost you a significant amount of time. Vegas Grand Canyon trips by bus typically take fourteen hours round trip, during which you will only spend about three hours actually at the Grand Canyon. They will typically include breakfast and lunch in the price of the trip.
On the contrary, Las Vegas Grand Canyon trips by helicopter are the most time efficient, but also the most expensive! However this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take in all the grandeur of the Grand Canyon from above. You can add a stroll on the Skywalk, floor landings that allow you to visit a cattle ranch, or a raft or boat ride through the canyon. If time is an issue, these types of tours are your best option.
If you’re budget conscious but don’t like the bus option, you could gain a lot more flexibility by renting a car and driving there yourself. You can choose which rim you want to visit and how long you want to stay.
But no matter how you get there, your Las Vegas day trip to the Grand Canyon will be an experience your whole family will remember!
