The Grand Canyon stretches over hundreds of miles, offering awe-inspiring views, beautiful picnic and camping spots, and scenic hiking trails. To make the most of this unique geological formation, many visitors choose trip packages by tour companies to help them explore the area. 

If you’re looking to tour the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, read on to find out why it is a good idea to opt for a trip package instead of touring on your own, and what features you should look for in your package. 

Why Should You Choose a Trip Package for Your Grand Canyon Trip? 

When it comes to how to visit the Grand Canyon, whether you’re going for the first time or have visited a few times before, it is unlikely that you know the ins and outs of the site. To have the best experience during your trip, you may want some guidance on the best places to stay and eat, the most beautiful spots visitors are yet to become aware of, and fun facts and historical information about the places you visit. 

It is difficult to prepare so extensively for a recreational trip–that’s where we come in. Choosing a trip package for your visit to the Grand Canyon can:

  • Eliminate the time and effort required in finding parking
  • Take out the planning in making arrangements for lodging, especially considering that hotels may sometimes be booked a year in advance
  • Provide adventurous experiences, such as taking an aerial view of the Canyon on a helicopter or taking a boat ride 
  • Give you the opportunity to see less-explored areas and viewpoints that most visitors may not be aware of
  • Help you learn interesting facts and history about the places you are seeing
  • Provide gear for hiking if you need it 
  • Take off the burden of dealing with contingencies and unexpected problems that may happen during the trip
  • Provide a feeling of safety knowing that your tour guide may be trained to take care of any medical emergencies and provide first aid

How to Choose a Trip Package

With the Internet bringing a host of tour companies at your disposal, it may become tricky to decide which trip package you should purchase for your trip to the Grand Canyon. To simplify your choice, you should be mindful of the following in your trip package:

  1. Price

The price of a trip can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Because you have countless options, choose a package that fits your budget and provides the best value.

  1. Length of Trip

Some trips may only be a day, while others may go up to a week. Be sure to choose a tour that matches the number of days you would like to spend at the Grand Canyon. 

  1. Type of Tour

Some trips are guided, while others make the arrangements for you but do not provide a full-time guide. Be sure to choose a trip package that suits your preferences. 

  1. Starting Point

Tours start and end at different points. For instance, some trips depart from Las Vegas, while others begin in Los Angeles–both are a relatively short drive from the Grand Canyon. Choose a trip package that departs from and returns to a city that is most accessible to you. 

  1. Places Visited

Tour packages include visits of different viewpoints and sites along the Grand Canyon. If you have done some research, you might already know which spots you are especially excited to see. Make sure the trip package you choose includes visits to those sites.

  1. Activity Level

Tours include different levels of walking, hiking, and trekking. Often, trip packages will tell you whether the activity level is easy, moderate, or difficult. You may be looking for an active adventure or more of a leisurely visit.

So, be sure to choose a package that includes a physical activity level according to your health and preferences. 

  1. Activities Offered

Tours often include exciting activities to make your visit stand out–you might want to experience an old-fashioned mule ride or go rafting on the Colorado River. Check which activities are offered in your trip package.

With all these aspects in mind and thorough research, you’re sure to find the best possible Grand Canyon trip package to fit your family’s preferences and needs. For more Grand Canyon tour info, MaxTour has got you covered with the best tips and tricks to make your trip one to remember!
