My friends and I booked our trip a year in advance after seeing the amazing video of people kayaking the glacier/snow melt. Nick, the owner/pilot, was incredibly nice and easy to do business with. He made us feel like we were part of his family. He is an amazing helicopter pilot/guide. Day of he let us know that conditions were not perfect, but we decided to go anyways. We were NOT let down. It was spectacular! The ice melt was a little slushy, but so beautiful and still so fun to kayak! My friend even jumped in the water! (a must try!) Our lunch was super good and came from a local market. After lunch, Nick took us to a beautiful lake where we continued kayaking. Overall, one of the most amazing experiences of my life... and I've been a lot of places. Nick is fantastic. Worth every penny and I HIGHLY recommend you take one of his tours!

Glacier Kayaking and Packrafting

Description

This is an extraordinary Seasonal Adventure that runs from late May to early October . Vibrant blue meltwater seen in the social media videos only occurs from late May, throughout June and sometimes into early July. By mid-July, the snow and ice have mostly melted, leaving behind an abundance of icebergs floating in the lakes. By August, the lakes are wide open and perfect for exploring.

  • Kayaks/packrafts
  • Paddle Canada Instructor
  • Four hours on location for introductory course on glacier kayaking and packrafting
  • Trip photos
  • Picnic lunch from Lepp Farm Market

The lake’s turquoise color changes day to day with different lighting conditions and varies depending on glacial sediment suspended in the water. Preferred months are August and September; during this time, there is more freedom to explore.

Sandy beaches and rare wildflowers are revealed when the snow is gone. Guests may paddle up to the glacier or hike to waterfall viewpoints. Upon arrival, guests are given a safety briefing that includes kayak instructional and emergency response procedures. Personal Floatation Devices (PFD’s) are supplied. These must be worn at all times while on the water.

Bring sunscreen and sunglasses. You will be paddling on very frigid water so long pants, hiking boots, windbreaker fleece, and a rain jacket are strongly recommended. Guests are encouraged to dress in layers and bring a change of clothes. You will likely get wet. Relax, this will be the “coolest” thing you do all summer.

The 6 best grand canyon bus tours from las vegas.

Go beyond the glitz and glam to see one of the country's top natural landmarks.

The Best Grand Canyon Bus Tours

While the Strip is certainly one of Las Vegas' most famous features, it's not all the city has to offer. A trip to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without experiencing the awe-inspiring natural wonders just outside of it, such as the Grand Canyon. Tourists and locals alike will enjoy a break from the bright lights and bustling city on a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. As one of the largest natural canyons on Earth, the Grand Canyon is more than 270 miles long, meaning there are multiple destinations to explore; the most popular are the South and West Rims.

We've rounded up the top options for Grand Canyon bus tours from Las Vegas, whether you seek an adventurous ride or a more tranquil sightseeing experience.

Best Overall: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus/Helicopter & Landing Tour with Optional Skywalk

Tour operator: Canyon Tours Price: From $358 per person Duration: About 10 hours

Visitors can experience the ultimate Grand Canyon bus tour paired with an unforgettable helicopter ride down to the floor of the canyon. The adventure begins on an air-conditioned tour bus that departs from the Vegas Strip and carries passengers to the West Rim. From there, passengers will board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Visitors can explore the canyon floor before reboarding the motorcoach and continuing onto Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. You'll also have the option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).

Local tip: Grand Canyon West is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribal Nation. In the tribe's traditions, the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River are considered living, spiritual entities. When visiting Grand Canyon West, travelers are immersed in the rich culture and history of the Hualapai Nation.

Best West Rim Tour: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour with Lunch, Hoover Dam Stop and Skywalk

Aerial of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.

Tour operator: Grand Canyon Destinations Price: From $99 per person Duration: About 11 hours

Located in Peach Springs, Arizona, the West Rim is only a few hours from Las Vegas. This tour will show you the best that the West Rim has to offer, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can hike to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.

A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo during the bus journey (but keep in mind this stop is available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.

Local tip: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.

Best Budget: Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour from Las Vegas

The Grand Canyon Village Observation Tower at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

Tour operator: Grand Canyon Destinations Price: From $84 per person Duration: About 15 to 16 hours

A South Rim bus tour offers a quieter, more historic sightseeing experience. The South Rim is one of the most popular parts of Grand Canyon National Park . Guests can see the wide variety of flora and fauna native to the area. This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.

You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.

Local tip: Located farther from Vegas, the South Rim is cooler, with rainy and snowy winters, and more moderate temperatures in spring, summer and fall.

Best South Rim Tour: Grand Canyon National Park South Rim Tour from Las Vegas with Lunch

Tour operator: National Park Express Price: From $119 per person Duration: About 13 hours

This guided bus tour includes lunch, bottled water and a granola bar to snack on during the day, as well as admission to some of the most popular Grand Canyon destinations, like Mather Point and Bright Angel Point. You'll get about three hours total at the Grand Canyon. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).

Local tip: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim, such as coyotes and bighorn sheep.

Best All-Inclusive: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour & Hoover Dam Photo Stop with Optional Skywalk

Tour operator: Comedy on Deck Tours Price: From $149 per adult Duration: About 10.5 hours

This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon. Additionally, this all-inclusive tour also stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as tour guide makes for an even more fun experience.

Local tip: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.

Best for Families: Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour

Tour operator: Canyon Tours Price: $85 per person Duration: About 14 hours

Although there are plenty of kid-approved activities in Las Vegas itself, a day trip to the Grand Canyon is a must-see for any family vacation. This South Rim bus tour from Canyon Tours offers a full day of activities that kids of all ages will enjoy.

Not only will youngsters marvel at the beauty of the canyon, but they can also have an interactive experience at the IMAX theater, which plays a film that takes you into the center of the canyon. Visitor centers throughout the park also offer free activities that allow children 4 and older to earn an official Junior Ranger badge and learn about nature, history and park preservation.

Local tip: The South Rim is divided into different viewpoint areas that visitors can explore. One of the most popular viewpoints is Hermit Road, which is ideal for families with children.

Frequently Asked Questions

The exact tour duration depends on the company you choose, but you should budget at least 10 hours for the entire experience.

You'll pay at least $85 per person for a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. This price will vary based on company, tour inclusions and location along the canyon.

Introduction to Glacier Kayaking and Packrafting

Quick Details

  • Users Capacity: Private group of 1–4 guests  , Up to 4 guests
  • Clock Duration: 5 hours
  • Info Info: Add a roundtrip from Vancouver Heliport for an additional $2,000 , Only available for private groups on 9AM departures.

Kayak Through B.C.’s Beautiful Glacial Waters

COVID-19 regional and international travel bans saw a significant increase in people taking an interest in the great outdoors and adventure sports (like kayaking and packrafting). Back country safety and awareness are more prevalent than ever, thanks to an abundance of outdoor education providers that are held accountable by their applicable governing bodies. However, there is always room for improvement and innovation with safety culture. As local recreational areas and parks become overcrowded, backcountry users are seeking lesser-known wilderness areas. Many packraft kits weigh less than 5lbs so it’s not uncommon to find individuals and groups out hiking, overnighting, and paddling at remote lakes. Many alpine lakes and several glacial lakes can be accessed by a day hike or multiday hike out of the Chilliwack, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton areas. New lightweight products are constantly being shared over social media and as a result, this type of trip is growing in popularity.

At the time of writing, there are only a handful of packrafting courses available, and they focus on rivers and white water. There are currently no offerings for alpine and glacial lake paddling courses. Hiking for a full day to access a classroom is not efficient so in the interest of time, and to set ourselves apart as a unique educational provider, we aim to fill this niche by offering an alpine and glacial lake paddle clinic or course, by helicopter, for recreational paddlers.  These educational trips provide added value for each user. Glacial and alpine lakes provide an inspiring classroom away from crowded local lakes.

Summer is a special time in the mountains. The glacial lakes undergo a series of seasonal transformations yielding jewel-like water colors best enjoyed on a kayak or packraft. See below for the different monthly experiences:

MELTWATER KAYAKING

  • Every summer, frozen glacial lakes begin to melt along the shoreline, revealing vibrant blue water so extraordinary looking you have to see it to believe it. What better way to experience this than to kayak through these frigid crystal clear waters. The meltwater follows the contours of the lakeshore, giving the illusion that it is a river, when in fact the water is perfectly still. These seasonal blue waters are not created by glacier ice, but by snow melting and pooling on top of the frozen lake ice. This annual process is short-lived and usually persists until late July or early August at higher elevations.
  • We’ll teach you: kayaking and packrafting technical and rescue skills, general outdoor safety in remote areas, weather, hypothermia prevention, risk management, conservation ethics, navigation, survival skills, natural history and geography.

ALPINE AND GLACIAL LAKE KAYAKING

  • If the weather doesn’t cooperate, or if ice conditions aren’t favorable at the glacier lakes, we will switch classrooms and host the course at a beautiful alpine lake. Ever seen Moraine Lake in Banff National Park? It’s like that but smaller and without the tourists. Just you and 3 other students. This stunning turquoise lake is all that is left of the glacier that once covered the area. Much of the granite rock in the area has been smoothed and scoured by the glacier that was once here. Large boulders deposited by the glacier sit at the bottom of the lake. Wildflowers and young vegetation are present all along the shoreline and there are waterfalls cascading off the huge cliffs above the lake. If you’re looking for the most beautiful outdoor classroom, this is it.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE ADVANCED?

  • Tucked in a U-shaped valley high in the mountains, sits a resilient glacier that has survived while most others at this elevation and latitude have disappeared forever. The first thing you might observe on our final approach is the lack of trees. That’s because this entire valley was still filled with ice in 1992. Since then the glacier has retreated over 1km. Trees haven’t had a chance to take hold yet in this giant boulder garden. However, look closely and you will see an abundance of rare wildflowers and other alpine vegetation. Our landing spot couldn’t be more perfect. It’s a large sandy beach bisected by a spring-fed stream surrounded by wildflowers, just steps away from the lake and your kayak. Without a sense of scale, the glacier at the west end of the lake looks small, almost blending in with the surrounding rock. It’s not until you paddle over to it do you truly understand how big it is. Look up in awe at the wall of ice towering above you. There’s another beach at the foot of the glacier, and we often get out here for a discussion on how far the glacier has retreated. From there we’ll practice different strokes and techniques across the lake to the east end where we will go for a short hike to a valley overlook at the top of a waterfall. Standing atop this waterfall, only 30 years ago, was the edge of the glacier. 
  • If you want to learn more about the glacier, a sk us about an introduction to glacier traverse with one of our ACMG guides.
  • August is the hottest and driest month of the year and is often accompanied by wildfire smoke. This location is a perfect way to beat the heat and is often isolated from the surrounding smoky skies. The cool air opens the mind. It becomes a place of peace and refuge. By mid September, the skies clear up, the air is crisp and the alpine vegetation begins to change color. These vibrant reds and oranges are what makes fall so special. 

Kayaking and packrafting educational clinics are available at different lakes until the lake begins to freeze over in early September.

Rest easy knowing we have extensive local area knowledge coupled with wildlife management strategies already in place for proposed crown land adventure tourism applications. Through our collaborative efforts, we will adhere to the Wildlife Guidelines for Backcountry Tourism and Commercial Recreation in British Columbia (2006). Only Astar Helicopters will be used, and strict flight paths will be followed to remain >1500m from Ungulate Wintering Range. 

In keeping with the rules set out in Appendix 1: Incidental Use for AT Guiding Purposes of the Adventure Tourism Policy, we will restrict courses to no more than 3 consecutive days in length and will not exceed 21 calendar days per year per location. All instructors will be registered Paddle Canada Instructors, and will comply with all operational, safety, experiential, and service standards set forth by Paddle Canada. Instructors will have no less than 2 million liability insurance for the activities taught.

  • We ask that you keep your personal bags to 10 lbs or less.
  • Mountain weather can change rapidly — guests should be prepared for the elements.
  • At the very least, from May 31st to October 1st, we recommend dressing in layers: long pants, long-sleeve or short-sleeve shirt, windbreaker fleece, rain jacket, and appropriate outdoor footwear (hiking shoes, boots or trail runners with lightweight merino wool socks). Don’t want snow in your boots? Bring Gaiters .
  • Hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and sunglasses are recommended as well.
  • For those on the kayak or paddle board trips, you will get wet, and therefore we suggest you bring a change of clothes. Or if it’s really hot out, bring sandals, a towel, and swimming attire in addition to the above items.
  • What not to wear: dark colors, cotton clothing, jeans with holes in them, street shoes, dress shoes
  • Chevron down Meltwater Disclaimer

Meltwater channels and ponds are highly dependent on weather conditions daily and as a whole throughout the seasons. Total Winter snowfall, Spring precipitation, and Spring temperatures play a crucial role in how the conditions will shape up prior to the arrival of Summer. The melting snow forms the water channels or ponds on top of the lake ice. These channels often do not encompass the entire lake. Channel length during peak conditions can reach 350 meters (1150ft) in length and take only minutes to kayak from end to end. Water depth can fluctuate greatly from barely enough to paddle through to over 3 meters (9.8ft)!

Conditions can also change daily and even hourly. For example, the water can freeze over during cooler temperatures. Sometimes up to an inch thick, making for a challenging paddling experience. Snowfall in May/June/early July is not uncommon. Snowfall accumulations create slush, which sits on top of the water creating the most difficult paddling conditions. Conversely, hot temperatures may detach the bottom slush layer from the ice and float it to the surface, again resulting in challenging paddling conditions.

Another unique phenomenon occurs when the snow on the glacier gradually slides downslope, putting so much weight on the lake ice that it rises up out of the lake, displacing the melt ponds. It’s a beautiful feature that eventually leads to the break up of all the ice on the lake. Picture perfect conditions can happen at any time during the season. The blue color remains constant whether it’s slushy or not. Deeper water means darker blues, shallow water means lighter blues. Bottom line is, the quality of conditions is impossible to predict, and you as the client must be aware of that before you book. If that sounds like a gamble, consider booking your kayaking course later in the summer when the ice and snow are gone and the lake is wide open for exploring.
