What To Expect
Grand Canyon Skywalk
Our tour to the Grand Canyon—one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World—where Grand Canyon West, located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, will provide you with an experience worth writing home about. See the Canyon from two different perspectives: Eagle Point, Guano Point. “Walk the sky” 4,000 feet above the Canyon floor on the Skywalk (Optional Purchase) or take a self-guided tour through the Native American Village for a view of local and regional tribal heritage and tradition. The Native American Village at Eagle Point lets Imagine a simpler time when Hualapai, Navajo, Plains, Hopi, Havasupai, and other Indian tribes roamed the lands as you stroll through traditionally built housing, ovens, and sweat lodges.

Things aren’t always how they appear to be

5.00In 20-20 hindsight glad we chose this 6-person tour over the big, shiny bus. Had my doubts when first met Brandon - looked a little rough in jeans, boots and baseball cap - so did his van - especially after riding over the hotel speed bump ….. Lesson #1 - Things aren’t always how they appear to be. Learned soon enough that Brandon was born to be a tour guide - and it’s not even his main gig ….. He’s a retired musician and music store owner, grew up around an antique store, was a heavy equipment operator ….. Now lives the dream as a Grand Canyon rescue volunteer, repel master instructor, leads backpack and whitewater adventures in and around the Canyon, he’s lead recon and set up man for a couple of extreme desert racing events ….. And does all the above concurrently as opportunities arise ….. I’m impressed ….. All those skill sets contributed to a deep, knowledgeable experience for us ….. and I could tell he wasn’t faking it - I did some of those things in 5th Special Forces Group ….. And most impressive? …. He talked about leading Grand Canyon river adventures for disabled vets - at no cost. That’s character.
We had a great time! ...

5.00Wonder personalized tour, our group size was 5, including the guide, Brandon. Brandon was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the culture and geography. Brandon lives in the area, and knew all of the small details that you wouldn't get on a tour bus. He stopped for us to have lunch at a small local ranch, with live music and local stories of history. Highly recommend Desert Wonder Adventures.
