The best way for your family to appreciate the rich culture and natural beauty of the American Southwest is to take a professional tour. As you prepare for your trip, there are many factors to consider. That said, finding Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas that accommodate the needs of smaller children can also be a challenge. 

Some of the best Grand Canyon tours for families will include an immersive experience with Native American tribes, as well as a safe way for everyone to explore the natural wonders of the national park. There are actually eleven tribes that live within the Grand Canyon National Park.  

MaxTour, for example, is an organization that works closely with Native American tribes to craft tours that are exciting, educational, respectful, and memorable. To fully immerse yourself in a traditional experience, book one of the Grand Canyon Native American tours in advance so you and your family can learn about the rich heritage of these tribes.

What Can I Do During My Grand Canyon Tour?

Start your research by checking out our Grand Canyon South Rim bus tour review.

From there, look at tours that explore other breathtaking sights and experiences nature has to offer. 

Get a Bird’s Eye View of the Canyon

If you and your family are the more adventurous types, the Skywalk will be unforgettable. The Skywalk is a ten-foot-wide glass bridge that extends sentry feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon–all you have to do is look down to get a perfect bird’s-eye view of one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders! Little ones can hold your hand if heights make them nervous, but there’s nothing to fear. The Skywalk is strong enough to hold seventy fully loaded 747 jets–that’s pretty sturdy!

Connect with Nature and the Culture of the Hualapai Tribe

The Grand Canyon offers so many breathtaking adventures, but nothing compares to experiencing the beauty and culture from the indigenous population that lives there. A visit to the Hualapai Reservation offers an authentic experience for families touring the canyon that everyone will enjoy. 

The guided tour from a member of the Hualapai tribe is a way to see a part of the Grand Canyon through the eyes of the indigenous population. Your family can marvel at the natural wonders while learning the mythology and historical contexts of the land through the Hualapai traditional oral tradition–and connect to the land in a new way.

Soar on the Zipline

Do you or your older kiddos want more of a thrill? If you have extra time, you can experience the Grand Canyon in a way you never could before by booking a ticket on the Sky View zipline. Get your adrenaline running as you fly at forty miles per hour over the canyon on 3,200 feet of zipline. You will soar over the spectacular sights 500 feet above the floor of the side canyon and realize this vacation is unlike the road trips you took as a child.

We’ve only touched on a few of the unique and amazing experiences Grand Canyon tours have to offer, but if your family loves to hike, sightsee, or just wants to take things at a slower pace, we recommend Maxtour as the tour operator of choice.
