Hualapai Nation

The Hualapai, meaning “People of The Tall Pines,” are native people of the Southwest. Traditionally hunter-gatherers, they inhabited an area of more than 5 million acres. Their homeland stretched from the Grand Canyon southward to the Santa Maria River and from the Black Mountains eastward to the pine forests of the San Francisco peaks. Today, the Hualapai American Indian Reservation, created in 1883, is nearly 1,000,000 acres that includes 108 miles of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon. There are approximately 2,100 enrolled members of the Hualapai Tribe and nearly half live in Peach Springs, the capital of the Hualapai Nation, on Historic Route 66. Years of social and economic hardship led Hualapai Leaders to take measures that would lead to an independent future for the generations to come. As a result, the Hualapai decided to open their land to visitors in 1988, creating Grand Canyon West as a tourism destination. Currently, multiple improvements - including a “Boys and Girls Club” facility, a “Head Start” facility and a Social Services building - have been built in Peach Springs. Many more projects are planned for the future, all made possible by Hualapai Tourism.

The Grand Canyon Express goes to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is located on Hualapai Nation territory. The canyon has 3 rims: north rim (only open in the spring and summer), south rim (this is the national park and it is located 300 miles from Las Vegas) and the west rim (only 150 miles from Las Vegas and on Hualapai Indian Land) The benefits to the West Rim are:

The West Rim is much closer than the South Rim (only 150 miles as compared to 300 miles).
The West Rim is home to the World Famous Sky-Walk (a glass bridge 4000' above the canyon floor).
The West Rim is mostly undeveloped allowing a more natural view of the canyon.
The West Rim allows the opportunity to do some light hiking or just relaxing while enjoying the view. Hike the hill at Guano Point for a 360 degree view of the canyon.

Although our company specializes in comedians as tour guides, our Grand Canyon Tours ARE NOT comedy tours. However, our comedians do train all guides and driver/guides.

Tour runs Monday thru Saturday, pick-ups are 6 to 6:30 am

There is an $8.89 per person impact tax that is payable on the bus.

Bus size depends on the number of passengers booked. We run in vehicles that hold between 10 and 50. Not all buses have bathrooms.

We do not recommend booking anything in town the evening of your tour because although we are usually on schedule nobody can foresee such things as late passengers, traffic issues, flat tires (especially since we have to travel down a 9 mile unpaved road to get to the west rim) and bad weather.

There are times when we (like all tour bus companies) carry more than one tour on a bus. If you are on the express and travel with the VIP you have an option to upgrade to our meal option. It includes a hot breakfast in Boulder City, Nevada and lunch at the Canyon for food costs of $20. They now both return at 5:00.

Taken from an actual review on YELP.com:

We had purchased a Groupon Deal that allowed us to have a discount of 51%, but after our tour and hearing the feedback from our friends about other tour companies, I feel I would have paid DOUBLE the regular price for what we experienced.
