The first step of your tour is to come out in a luxury SUV, and that SUV will keep you in great comfort as you are driven from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. You are put in an airplane or helicopter to take your tour, and you are brought down into the canyon to ride in a boat to close your tour. The idea is to feel like a true explorer braving the wilds of the canyon.

You must plan to ask questions on this tour, and you should get as many pictures as you can. The luxury SUV keeps you comfortable, and the plane lets you take many pictures. The boat ride is quiet, and you learn that rapids are just ahead in this part of the canyon.

The tickets for the tour are online, and you must give them as soon as possible because they tend to sell out. Get one so that everyone in the family cna have a good time, and ask if there are accommodations for your large group.

The luxury tour of the Grand Canyon is a game changer for you and the people that travel to Vegas. You are given a stylish and thrilling Grand Canyon experience.

Go for the combo: Travel to the Grand Canyon West Rim from Las Vegas by luxury Tour Trekker, fly in a helicopter to the bottom of the Canyon, cruise down the Colorado River, then spend time at the West Rim. It's one of the best ways to experience the Grand Canyon, as traveling by SUV ensures tour group numbers will be small and you'll enjoy a more personalized visit.

On your SUV/helicopter combo day trip you'll also visit Boulder City and travel over the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge. As you travel along Diamond Bar Road (Indian Hwy), you'll experience the beauty of the Joshua Tree Forest framed by the towering Grand Wash Cliffs as you approach the West Rim. The drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is approximately 2.5 hours each way.

On the crest of the Grand Canyon, your helicopter awaits you for your seven-minute, 4,000-foot (1,200-meter) descent to the mighty Colorado River below. You'll then board a pontoon boat for a commentated boat ride down the Colorado River which lasts around 15 minutes.

Back at the top of the canyon once again, you will have approximately 3.5 hours to explore, using the complimentary shuttle service to Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Ranch.

• Visit Guano Point for fantastic views of the Colorado River
• Explore the Indian Village at Eagle Point to gain insights into Native American culture
• Take an optional stroll on the Grand Canyon Skywalk (not included, approximately US$30), the newest attraction on the West Rim, for amazingly unobstructed views over the canyon
