Tour Details

Travel from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon on one of the most popular experiences Pink Adventure Tours has to offer. Your Certified Interpretive Guide will pick you up at your hotel in one of our custom-made, luxurious Pink Adventure Tour Trekker vehicles. Then, it’s adventure time.

Your private tour sets off along historic Route 66 through the Mojave Desert, past the old Santa Fe Railway. Along the way, you’ll gain insider information about the wildlife, history, myths and legends of the Southwest. Approaching the Canyon, the landscape outside turns to the picturesque mountains and ponderosa pines of the Coconino Plateau.

First stop, Mather Point and unforgettable views! An easy walk from the Visitors Center, Mather Point showcases the vastness of the Grand Canyon. It’s the perfect place to take panoramic photos, with distant views of the North Rim visible across the 10-mile expanse.

From here, you'll walk along the "Trail of Time" to Yavapai Point. This unique viewpoint offers more stunning vistas and an indoor experience at the Yavapai Geology Museum. Perched atop a cliff at the edge of the canyon rim, the museum offers one of the best vantage points for an overview of Grand Canyon geology. Annotated displays along a wall of windows show you where to look along the unobstructed, panoramic views of the South Rim.

Your guide will share more canyon history as you depart for Grand Canyon Village and stop at the historic Bright Angel Lodge—just feet from the rim. Part of the Grand Canyon Village National Historic Landmark District, the property boasts a gift shop, soda fountain, ice cream shop and history room that bring the property’s past to life. You'll enjoy lunch and have free time to explore.

The last stop takes you to a local trading post with art, jewelry and other keepsakes crafted by Native American artisans. You won’t want to leave the area without a souvenir to commemorate your amazing experience at one of the World's Seven Natural Wonders.

To ensure that you can focus on your excursion, Pink Adventure Tours takes care of all the details. This includes a fresh breakfast, snack, full picnic lunch, complimentary bottled water and all park entrance fees.
