The Skywalk is a glass-bottom walkway at Eagle Point that reaches more than 70 feet out from the edge of the West Rim, over 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. It stands on Hualapai land at Grand Canyon West, and these helicopter tours land right there. Not every tour includes the Skywalk ticket; Maverick’s Western Journey does not.

Short stop or a half day at the rim

Tour	Skywalk ticket	Time at Grand Canyon West	Departs from
Maverick Skywalk Odyssey	Included, with expedited entry and a souvenir photo	About 45 minutes	Maverick terminal on the Strip
Papillon VIP West Rim with Skywalk	Included	Most of a 4.5-hour trip, with shuttle to Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Village	Boulder City, hotel pickup as an option
Maverick Western Journey	Not included	About 3 hours: Eagle Point, Hualapai village, Guano Point and the Highpoint Hike	Maverick terminal on the Strip

The Skywalk Odyssey is the quick version: fly in, walk out on the glass and fly back after about 45 minutes on the ground. The Western Journey gives you time for the overlooks, the remnants of the historic mining tram and the village with traditional Hualapai dwellings, but the Skywalk ticket is extra.

Getting there and checking in

Maverick does not pick you up from your hotel; check in at its terminal on the Strip 45 minutes before take-off, with a REAL ID–compliant driver’s license or a valid passport for everyone 18 or older. Papillon flies from its terminal in Boulder City, about 30 minutes from Las Vegas, and offers hotel pickup as an option; without it you check in 45 minutes ahead.

FAQ

Is the Skywalk ticket included?

On Maverick’s Skywalk Odyssey and on Papillon’s VIP West Rim tour with Skywalk entry, yes. On Maverick’s Western Journey and on Indian Territory it is not included and can be bought separately.

Where is the Skywalk?

At Eagle Point, Grand Canyon West, on the land of the Hualapai Tribe at the western end of the canyon. The flights from the South Rim do not go there.

Do the Skywalk tours land in the canyon?

They land on top, at the West Rim. For a landing on the canyon floor plus the Skywalk area, Maverick’s Indian Territory lands twice: at the bottom with champagne and at Grand Canyon West, where the Skywalk is optional.
