The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West | Know Before You Go

Join us as we travel by helicopter from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon to visit the Skywalk! There are some things to know and expect, especially when visiting for the first time. Suspended over 4,000 feet over the Colorado River, the Skywalk at Eagle Point is a famous glass bridge located in the heart of Grand Canyon West.
Begin at Maverick Helicopters’ private terminal, conveniently located on the Las Vegas Strip, and take an exhilarating helicopter ride in our top-of-the-line Airbus ECO-Star helicopter. Along the way you’ll get incredible views of places like Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Fortification Hill, and more. And of course, you’ll also be treated to the mesmerizing sights of the Grand Canyon as you fly through the West Rim before landing at the Grand Canyon West Airport.
Experiencing the Skywalk through one of our helicopter tours is a really great option for those who want to visit Las Vegas and see the Grand Canyon without taking up too much time in their trip. Depending on the tour you take, you can go to the Grand Canyon and back from Las Vegas within 5-7 hours.
Note: The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is located right off the Nevada/Arizona border. The West Rim is Hualapai Indian Tribal territory. Grand Canyon West is NOT a part of Grand Canyon National Park.

Marvelous video

[@Maverickhelicopters]

😄😄😄

[@pecaro0518]

They don't allow you to take your cameras because first off, it's actually FOR your safety. Some people have heavy cameras and video equipment that they don't need to be dropped onto the glass. They also don't want the liability if you drop your camera over, as you KNOW some people will do. I think maybe they are planning ahead to save things from falling over the walk and causing a mess below over time.

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Yes, cameras on the Skywalk is a safety concern. There are tons of other vantage points where you can take photos with a professional camera. We suggest Guano Point. 💖

[@2008alde]

Oh Please ... if you take out your phone ( that they tell you to keep in the locker ) and try to snap a photo, they will tell you that no photo taking is allowed EXCEPT for the ones the guide takes and charges you an exorbitant amount of money to purchase. Total rippoff

[@vonvon333]

Right thats a scam just have people wear a phone or camera lantern.

[@thelifeandtimesofyoboislim8967]

Nice video. Thanks

[@hansfordsmum]

The Skywalk was really cool but probably not worth buying the photos, its expensive enough as it is. They should give you photos for free considering how much they charge for the experience and they won't allow you to take your own photos.

[@yuyupinkberry]

What do u mean no cellphones allowed?

[@juicyfruit6311]

@@yuyupinkberry Only pictures taken by the employees are allowed. No photos from cameras, phones, or other outside devices.

[@str8marihuano1]

Spirit Mountain casino is the same way. Must be a native thing to charge people to use their own cameras. I’ve never heard of that anywhere else

Can you take video or picture in the helicopter 🚁?

Yes! You can take both 😀

It's to keep you from killing someone below or trying to "save" your phone.

Yeah, no cameras on the skywalk 🙁 but there are tons of locations around Grand Canyon West where you can take photos!

[@thelifeandtimesofyoboislim8967]

Safety reasons. If people drop camera and phones it could cause damage over time. I don't blame them for not letting cameras and phones on it

We would suggest at least a 3 hour minimum to experience everything at Grand Canyon West. Getting their by car is about a 4 hour drive. By helicopter its a 45 minute flight!

This is the unfortunate part. You still can take amazing photos in all of the other locations of Grand Canyon West!

[@mr.j6805]

To get to eagle point do you need to lay for Skywalk?

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Eagle point is best seen from the Skywalk, however you can still see it from the viewpoint next to the Skywalk.

[@mr.j6805]

@@Maverickhelicopters Thank you!!!

[@scottjohnson8316]

Idk everyone I talk to says go to Guano Point instead as it free and sans the skywalk you still get some nice views? I’m going there in 3 weeks

[@Maverickhelicopters]

​@@scottjohnson8316 Guano Point is definitely underrated! There is no additional admission fee, and the best part about it is that you can get 360 degree views of the canyon - no obstructions. We do have some videos about Guano Point on our channel if you want to check those out!

[@completerelax3726]

Now is 60 for general entrance and anything else is extra don't waste you money for just looking. It at a hole it should be free and the skywalk is 30 after you pay 60 for general entrance

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Yes you do have to pay, but the experience is worth it in our opinion. Maybe skip out on the Skywalk to save a few bucks?

[@smartt]

You showed more of you yapping than the Skywalk.

[@RealityHurts923]

You cant take your own phone out there to take video or photos

How much was it to get out on the skywalk?

We would suggest checking out the Grand Canyon West website because prices fluctuate

If you over 50 years old you get a discount. I did when I went. You just have to ask if you buy the tickets at the gift store.

It looks like a hole in the ground boring

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Seeing the Grand Canyon is an amazing sight. Videos are great, but visiting in person is even better 😀

[@2008alde]

the Skywalk is a total ripoff. Expensive for the privilege of waiting on a long line to spend a very limited amount of time on the Skywalk that actually does NOT hover over a 4000 ft drop into the canyon but what is beneath the skywalk is closer to 1000 feet. Of course you can see the more dramatic depth in the distance but the implication that the Skywalk hovers over depths of 4000 feet are blatantly false. Guano point was nice but do yourself a favor and plan a trip to the South rim which is deeper and far more dramatic and you can ( if you have the heart) hike some of the trails down the canyon face.

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the West Rim, and some of its attractions are not for everyone, but both the West Rim and South Rim have Pros and Cons. We suggesting seeing what fits your trip plans first.

[@thelifeandtimesofyoboislim8967]

Always gotta be someone negative. What's for you may not be for the next person. I liked the west Rim and will go back just like 1000s of others have. I've been to the other rim. I think it was the south also. May have been the north but it was many years ago.

[@2008alde]

@@thelifeandtimesofyoboislim8967 I'm always curious as to the inability of some people's grasp of comprehension. The point of my "gripe" is that the Skywalk was a ripoff. We had no problem with the western rim. As i said, it's not as dramatic as the south rim but the western rim has the advantage as it's accessible for people who go to Vegas. Had we known that the Skywalk didn't have a dramatic view and that it was a money grab for them to take photos ( because you can't take you cameras or iphones on the walk), we would have gladly passed on it. Not negative, in my view just informative In my view.
