The Ultimate 2 Day Grand Canyon Tour
Experience the best of the Grand Canyon, from above and below and some neat places in between on Grand Canyon Old West Jeep Tours’ Ultimate 2-Day Grand Canyon Tour!
This is truly the ultimate Grand Canyon adventure, and it’s tailor-made for those of you staying in Williams or Flagstaff. Your first day’s journey begins with a stop at the Grand Canyon Aviation History Museum, which will whet your appetite for an exciting 30-minute flight over the Grand Canyon aboard a state of the art Eco-Star helicopter!
After your flight, you’ll sit down to enjoy the spectacular IMAX presentation “Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets,” after which you’ll head over to the IMAX Theatre food court for lunch. Then, time to experience Arizona’s #1 National Park, the Grand Canyon. You’ll gain valuable insights about the human history of the area at the Tusayan Indian Ruin and Museum. From there, you’ll visit the Desert View Watchtower, one of the area’s many Historic Landmarks designed by premiere female architect Mary Colter. Those “perky” enough to make the 4-story climb are rewarded with a stunning view of the canyon!
Upon leaving Desert View, you’ll head back to Grand Canyon Village where more amazing views and historic treasures await you before the journey’s end. On your way back to town, say “howdy” to the world-famous Grand Canyon Mules. Those mule rides are booked up months ahead and leave folks hurting. But you’ll be getting to the bottom of the Grand Canyon the easy way tomorrow - on four wheels!
Day 2 of your Ultimate Grand Canyon Adventure begins with pickup in Williams or Flagstaff; then, it’s time to “get your kicks on Route 66!” Seligman, Arizona was the true-life inspiration for the fictional town of Radiator Springs from Disney Pixar’s movie “Cars.” Even Mater and Red are still here. In Peach Springs, you’ll experience one of the Grand Canyon Grand Canyon Caverns, located 21 stories below the earth’s surface, this is a rare example of a dry cavern.
After exploring the caverns, you’ll board safari vehicles and travel to the bottom of the Grand Canyon via the beautiful Diamond Creek road. As you go deeper into the depths of the earth, you’ll discover that the Grand Canyon really consists of many sub-canyons that merge into one. On the banks of the mighty Colorado River, it’s time to relax and enjoy a box lunch. You’ll have plenty of time to hike, explore, and refresh yourself with a splash in the cool river before heading back to the rim and back to Williams or Flagstaff.
Each day’s tour is 8 hours in length. Your tour price includes all taxes, fuel surcharges, your helicopter flight, IMAX tickets, Grand Canyon Park entrance fees, Hualapai Tribal Park entrance fees, and lunch each day. Those who prefer not to take the helicopter flight on Day 1 may omit this component for a reduction in price. This truly is the Ultimate Grand Canyon Adventure! Group sizes are kept small for a more personalized experience, and while it’s not nearly as hard to book as a Grand Canyon mule ride, advance reservations are still strongly recommended. Just click on the “Book Now” button, and we’ll see you at the Grand Canyon.
