This speedy out-and-back flight is the perfect way to see the Grand Canyon if you’re short on time. You’ll take off from Boulder City airport, fly over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam on your way to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon and be back at your Vegas hotel all within four hours.

Raise a glass to your Las Vegas stay on this luxe Grand Canyon helicopter flight. You’ll be whisked to the airport by limo and set off on your flight over the desert. Dip down below the canyon’s West Rim and land on a plateau where a picnic lunch and glass of champers will be served. Then you’ll swoop down along The Strip as you return to the airport.

This is the most popular heli ride from Vegas and for good reason. Not only will you get to fly over the Lake Mead and the vast desert on the way to the Canyon, once you’ve reached the West Rim, you’ll descend over 900 metres and land on a plateau for some Champers and some refreshments before a return trip back over the Vegas Strip. Go at sunset for the ultimate aerial experience.

This is a full-day private tour from Las Vegas to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, designed to give you time to enjoy the viewpoints rather than rush you through them. You’ll travel in a purpose-built touring vehicle with a dedicated guide, explore several key stops along the rim on foot, and return to Las Vegas in the evening. It’s a long day on the road, but one that’s paced to make the distance worthwhile.

You’re picked up from your Las Vegas hotel in the morning and set off across the Mojave Desert. The drive takes about 4 to 4.5 hours each way, broken up by scenic stops and commentary. You follow sections of historic Route 66, passing wide-open desert landscapes and traces of the old Santa Fe Railway while your guide shares context about the region’s history, wildlife and early travellers. As you climb onto the Coconino Plateau, the scenery shifts to cooler air, pine forest, and mountain views. Your first stop is Mather Point, one of the most expansive viewpoints on the South Rim. This is where the canyon's scale really lands, with sweeping views stretching across the gorge and the North Rim visible on clear days.

From here, you’ll walk a short section of the Trail of Time to Yavapai Point, stopping at the Yavapai Geology Museum. Built right on the edge of the rim, the museum uses panoramic windows and clear displays to explain how the canyon was formed and to help you read the layers spread out before you. Next, you’ll head to Grand Canyon Village, the historic heart of the South Rim. This area developed in the early 1900s to support railway travellers and is now home to some of the park’s most characterful buildings. You’ll stop at Bright Angel Lodge, a stone-and-timber landmark sitting just feet from the canyon’s edge, with time for lunch and a wander. There’s a small history room, gift shop, and even a classic soda fountain and ice cream counter if that feels earned by this point.

Before beginning the return drive to Las Vegas, you’ll stop at a local trading post showcasing art, jewellery, and crafts made by Native American artisans. Breakfast, snacks, a picnic lunch, bottled water, and all park entrance fees are included, so the day runs smoothly from start to finish. It’s a long drive, but a thoughtfully paced one, and you’ll return to Las Vegas feeling like you’ve genuinely spent time at the Grand Canyon.

This full-day tour from Las Vegas is a journey into one of the most extreme landscapes on the planet. Just a few hours away from Vegas, Death Valley National Park reveals vast salt flats, sculpted rock and record-setting temperatures, all explored with a guide over the course of the day. You’ll visit key viewpoints, walk out onto the valley floor, and move through a landscape that feels stark and strange before returning to Las Vegas in the evening.

Inside the park, the first major viewpoint is Dante’s View, perched more than a mile above the valley floor. From here, you’ll look out over salt flats, colourful badlands, and the remnants of an ancient lake, a perspective that makes the scale of the place sink in quickly. You’ll spend time at Furnace Creek Visitor Centre, learning how life survives in such an unforgiving environment, before heading to Harmony Borax Works. 

Pass the jagged salt formations of Devil’s Golf Course, a landscape so rough and sharply eroded that, as the saying goes, only the devil could play a round here. Next comes Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. You’ll have time to walk out onto the vast white salt flats and stand beneath the famous elevation sign marking 282 feet below sea level. It’s blindingly bright, surreal, and unlike anywhere else you’re likely to visit.

Before heading back, you’ll follow Artists Drive, a scenic loop through hills painted with natural reds, greens, and purples, then stop at the historic Inn at Death Valley. The final stretch includes a gentle off-road drive through Twenty Mule Team Canyon.

This full-day tour from Las Vegas takes you through the Hoover Dam from every angle. You’ll float below it on the Colorado River, walk across the top, and head inside the powerhouse to see how it actually works. It’s a practical, well-paced day that combines engineering, history and time outdoors.

Before reaching the dam, you’ll pass through Boulder City, built in the early 1930s to house the thousands of workers who constructed Hoover Dam during the Great Depression. Unlike Las Vegas, it still has an old-school feel, and it plays a significant role in the story of how the dam came together under extraordinary conditions.

At Hoover Dam Lodge, you’ll have time to look through historic photographs before boarding a shuttle to the Colorado River. From there, you’ll take a gentle 90-minute float through Black Canyon, starting at the base of the dam. From the water level, the scale of the structure becomes very real, with sheer concrete walls, dramatic canyon cliffs, and a rare view back towards the dam’s spillways.

After the river trip, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch and a photo stop on the Arizona side of the dam, before heading up to the top. Standing more than 700 feet tall, Hoover Dam still supplies power and water across Nevada, Arizona, and California, and walking across it gives you time to take in both the engineering and the setting. You’ll then head inside for a guided tour of the Hoover Dam Power Plant.

This early evening tour is an easy, guided way to see Las Vegas after dark. You’ll travel around the city in an open-air Pink Jeep Wrangler, stop at several of its most recognisable landmarks, and finish with a ride on the High Roller observation wheel. It’s relaxed rather than rushed, and it works well if you want an overview of the city at night without committing your entire evening to it.

The tour kicks off with a stop at the famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. From there, you’ll cruise past a mix of classic and curious sights, including the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, familiar to anyone who’s ever dipped into Pawn Stars. As you roll along Wedding Chapel Row, keep an eye out for couples mid-celebration.

Next comes downtown Las Vegas, including the Arts District and Fremont Street, the city’s original heart. Once the first paved road in town, Fremont is now a four-block spectacle of light and sound, with a huge LED canopy overhead and zipliners cutting through the glow. It’s loud, unapologetic, and very Vegas, with plenty of stories attached.

You’ll then stop at the Las Vegas Sphere, the city’s newest headline act. With its fully programmable LED exterior, it’s less a building and more a giant digital mood ring. To round things off, you’ll take a ride on the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ. Rising 550 feet above the Strip, it offers expansive views over the city, from the Bellagio fountains to the long sweep of hotels stretching into the distance.

This guided bike tour is an efficient, easygoing way to see Central Park in a couple of hours. You’ll cover far more ground than on foot, stop regularly at key landmarks, and hear the stories that give the park its character, all without feeling rushed. Stretching for more than 50 city blocks through the middle of Manhattan, Central Park is where locals escape the noise, films find their backdrops, and life seems to take on a different mood from the busy streets.

On this guided ride, you’ll follow quiet paths and broad avenues through the park’s best-known corners and some of its quieter ones too. You’ll cycle beneath the American elms of the Literary Walk, a grand promenade named for the statues of writers that line it and is often used in films and period dramas. You’ll stop at Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the architectural heart of the park, set beside the lake where classic rowing boats glide past and street musicians often fill the space with sound. Nearby, Sheep Meadow offers one of Central Park’s most famous views, a wide green lawn framed by Manhattan’s skyline and a favourite spot for picnics and people-watching.

The route also loops around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, a calm, open stretch of water encircled by a running path, with long views that show just how dramatically the city rises around the park. One of the more reflective stops is Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon Memorial, located near the building where he lived. It’s a peaceful corner of the park, often accompanied by music and the occasional singalong, and a reminder of how closely Central Park is woven into modern culture.
