Guano Point
Guano Point is one of the most popular observation points at the Grand Canyon. Located on the west side of the canyon, Guano Point offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Colorado River and the surrounding landscape. Visitors can also enjoy an up-close look at the canyon walls, which are carved from billion-year-old rock formations. Whether you’re looking to explore or just a place to relax and take in the beauty of nature, Guano Point is a must-see destination for any Grand Canyon adventure.
Optional Activity: The Skywalk
The Skywalk is an optional activity on this adventure and can be purchased directly through Maverick Helicopters. The glass walkway allows visitors to feel like they are floating above the canyon. It is truly a breathtaking experience. However, to protect the glass walkway and preserve the Grand Canyon, no personal items are permitted on the Skywalk. This includes cameras, cellphones, strollers, purses, backpacks, etc. But don’t worry – there are plenty of photo opportunities before and after the walkway! And our friendly guides will be happy to take pictures of you and your group during your visit.
