Grand Canyon Bus Tours From Vegas Are Perfect Day Trips

If you're looking for an experience that will forever change the way you view nature and our planet, consider one of the coach trips from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon National Park. These tours make it easy for you to take in one of the most well known National Parks in the United States. They're also really affordable!

You can go to the West or South Rim when you leave from Vegas on a bus tour. Both trips begin early in the morning and don't end until 8 or 9 in the evening. It's a full day of sightseeing and explorations, and you'll probably just want to relax at your hotel afterward. Since you will be pretty worn out, it is best not to have other activities planned, such as a Vegas show, for the evening of your return.

South Rim

If you plan to go to the South Rim from Las Vegas, you should be prepared for a 5- hour bus ride. Once you are there, you will be allotted around three hours to take in the sights of the Grand Canyon. You will see notable lookouts like Yavapai Observation Station, Yaki Point, and Mather Point. Also included in your coach tour is a stop at Grand Canyon Village. There are several things to do in the Village as it is home to gift shops, museums, and restaurants.

If you decide to go to the West Rim, it will only take you about 2 hours to get there from Las Vegas. After you get to Grand Canyon West, you will see the Indian Cultural Center, Hualapai Ranch, Guano Point, and Eagle Point. You can make your trip even more exciting by adding on additional options. These include buying a pass to the glass Grand Canyon Skywalk, taking a helicopter descent to the canyon floor, and floating down the Colorado River.

These fun motor coach tours include Park fees, the services of a tour guide, breakfast, lunch, and even free transportation to and from your hotel on the Vegas Strip. While you're driving to the canyon you'll see Lake Mead and stop for photos at Hoover Dam. The deluxe, climate-controlled motor coaches have clean restrooms, large windows for sightseeing, and comfortable, recliner-type seating.

RSVP

It's best to book your bus tour ahead of time no matter when you'll be traveling, but it's especially important for tours between April and November because those months are the canyon's peak tourist season. Booking early helps ensure you get the tour and side trips you want to take.

Booking your tour online is the easiest way to do it plus it will save you money too. You'll pay a higher price if you make the mistake of buying your tickets through your hotel concierge, at a street kiosk or at a local booking office. The best place to find the lowest prices is on the tour operators' websites. You could save as much as 30 percent. That is the best way to get a fantastic deal on your tour seats.

If you are going to be in Vegas anyway, you certainly shouldn't miss the chance to take a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. It is only 120 miles away and you will have a fantastic time.

Conclusion

The South Rim is filled with stunning panoramic views. The West Rim is popular because that is the only place you can ride a chopper to the canyon floor. But, you'll have a spectacular time no matter which part of the canyon you decide to visit. You will be overwhelmed at the sheer beauty and immensity of one of the most beautiful natural formations on the planet.
