Our guide to Grand Canyon North Air & Ground Tour

Venture off the beaten path and discover unexplored terrain with the Grand Canyon North Air & Ground Tour.

Begin your day with complimentary hotel pick-up from Las Vegas to our Boulder City air terminal. Check-in and board an aircraft specifically designed for “flightseeing,” complete with high wings and panoramic windows for optimal viewing and a climate-controlled cabin.

Enjoy the scenery below as you fly over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River before reaching the heart of the Grand Canyon.

Upon touching down on the airstrip at Bar 10 Ranch, you’ll embark on an all-terrain Polaris Ranger tour through Whitmore Canyon and Lake Mead Recreation Area to the rim of the Grand Canyon.

This tour will provide you with exciting and unique vantage points in the rugged wilderness of the North Rim. At 3,000 feet (880 m) above the Colorado River, the sheer drop from the rim of this part of the canyon is a truly spectacular sight.

Keep an eye out for the unusual collection of forestry and vegetation and local critters, as well.

Return to Bar 10 Ranch and relax while enjoying a delicious homemade Dutch oven barbecue lunch. After a day full of outdoor adventure, you’ll proceed back to the airstrip for your return flight.

The Boulder City terminal offers souvenir photos for purchase as well as a cafe and large gift shop. Check-in at the hotel transfer desk located in the terminal lobby for complimentary shuttle service back to your hotel with memories to last a lifetime.

For those choosing the ATV option, they will travel along the same route as the Polaris but on their own ATV for which they will require a valid driver's license and must be over 16 years old.
