Our deluxe tour provides service in full-size, new and modern touring buses. We make exclusive stops not offered by other companies. You have choices and options not available anywhere else. Shop and compare.

Feel Confident! Our service is reliable, comfortable and safe with the best drivers/guides in the business. Enjoy a complimentary morning snack and sit-down lunch. As part of your journey, you will cross the newly opened Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge with a spectacular view of Hoover Dam, Black Canyon and Lake Mead. A stop for lunch will be at the historic Grand Canyon Railway.

Once we reach Grand Canyon National Park, our guide will lead you to Mather Point to prepare for the bicycle tour. Bicycle rentals from Bright Angel Bicycles include several sizes of men’s and step-thru women’s models, three-wheel adult bikes, and pull-behind child trailers so younger children can come along. (Children must be 8 years old to travel with their own bike. Children younger will have to ride in the burley honeybee trailer.) Just pick the bike that’s best for you! The tour takes place on historic Hermit Road. This road, which is over 100 years old, was recently rehabilitated to preserve its historic integrity and maximize safety and accessibility.

The bicycle tour is 5 miles long and is led by experienced guides who have been guiding visitors for 10 years, so you can be sure that you are receiving the best service possible. This is a leisure ride with 90% of the trail going downhill. If you can walk down to Mather Point, you can complete this ride. The tour begins at Hopi Point, one of the best views of the canyon’s inner gorge and a sacred place to ancient peoples of Grand Canyon and Northern Arizona. You will then continue to the Abyss, a brilliant demonstration of the Grand Canyon’s geology.

From the Abyss, you will continue your ride to Pima Point. There will be a break here so you can enjoy the surrounding view, learn about the flora and fauna present in the canyon, and take photos. Afterward, you will complete the last section of the ride along the green way, a new trail specifically for bicyclists and pedestrians. Along the way, you will have more opportunities to see these uncrowded viewpoints of the Grand Canyon.

The tour will finish at Hermit’s Rest, a National Historic Landmark that everyone should visit. This structure was built in 1914 by Mary Jane Colter. Built as a rest area for tourists on coaches on the way to Hermit Camp, Hermit’s Rest was designed to tie into the land and appear as a natural stone formation. This is a wonderful chance to see human history and nature combined.
