Fun times! Beginner to amature quad runner ride or rent a side by side. Bring sunscreen and sun glasses.
Isaac with Bar 10 Ranch was great. The side by side ride was our favorite part. Plane ride there was smooth, rougher with the winds on the way back, but Daniel was a good pilot.
Views from the plane were amazing! Riley is a great pilot and very personable. Enjoyed the ATV ride and the young lad that led us was great but can’t recall his name. We chose to ride in the side by side instead of on our own four wheelers which turned out being a lot less dusty experience. If I had to name one part that was just average it would be the lunch. Good but nothing to write home about.
This was a highlight of our 5 day Vegas trip. Bar 10 Ranch and our tour guide for the 4x4 trip were great! It was hot in July, but we knew that going in. The thumb throttle on the 4x4 was tough, especially on the ride back in. The approx 2 hour trail was smooth in a few places, but mostly rocky and uneven. Water was provided at a couple stops along the way. Knowing that, we might have chosen the side by sides that also have a cover since there is no shade on the trail. At the end, lunch provided at the ranch was BBQ sandwiches, sides and lemonade. The small plane to and from was as expected about 45 min each way with optional headphones with music and narration. We had excellent views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The overall views of the Grand Canyon North Rim were good. I wonder if the other rims had better views. We had a problem with initial pickup time which was a communication issue between Viator and the pick up van. The print time was 7:15am pickup from the hotel. The time quoted when we called to confirm the day before was 6:45am pickup. On the day of the trip we got a call that they were leaving because we were not at the pick up point at 6:25am. After we called Viator, the van waited, but the issue and stress was avoidable. Overall, the trip was good. The ranch was really nice, with picturesque views. Overnight covered wagon options were available at the ranch. The overall value for this trip with flight, lunch and 4x4 ride was maybe a bit much at just under $600pp.
We had a fantastic day. The flight from Boulder city to Bar 10 ranch was awesome flying over the Hoover dam in an old De Haviland plane. The staff and facilities at the ranch were great. Had a wonderful drive down to the canyon rim with an informative guide. The lunch provided was great then another flight back to Boulder city. I would highly recommend it!
The views are spectacular from the air and on the ground Samantha our tour guide was terrific. Lunch was delicious.
Our family of 4 (2 adults, 11F, 14M) had an incredible experience on this trip, and are very glad we went! Pros: The pilot to the canyon was great, and the views from the Sesna were exceptional. Our tour guide, Andy, was personable and informative, and the kids had a blast with him as we explored the North Rim. The experience in the 4x4 was a lot of fun, too, and Andy did a great job making sure we stayed hydrated and engaged. Lunch at the ranch was simple BBQ fare, nothing really exciting, but tasty and filling. The ranch also had activities (ping pong, basketball, plastic axe throwing) for the kids when we had a few minutes of down time, which let them burn off some energy after the flight. Cons: The pickup was before 7, and we ended up waiting over an hour at the airport for our pilot to arrive. The timing could have been better. The pilot on the way back didn't talk to us, and the prerecorded narration on the headsets was out of sync.
It was wonderful from start to finish. The flights were excellent and the guides first rate. It made for a genuinely spiritual experience at the Grand Canyon itself. I highly recommend it.
We are delighted you had a great excursion with us! Thank you for your support!
This was SO cool! Seeing the canyon from an aerial is the only way to even try to fathom how vast it is. The tour was amazing as it was quiet, peaceful, and didn't feel like a tourist attraction. The workers at Bar 10 Ranch were so kind and hospitable - cooked us a delicious meal and made us feel right at home. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the canyon and so friendly. Don't even get me started on our pilots!!! They were awesome and made the environment feel very safe. It was the perfect amount of time for 3 teenagers who didn't want to stand or hike in the heat for hours. Would 10/10 recommend this experience! I have nothing negative to comment on. We loved it!!
Thank you for flying with us! We are delighted you had a great excursion with us! Thank you for your support!
Would do it again! Thank you Grand Canyon tours and TripAdvisor. Don't want to leave a minimum of 100 characters. Lesson this. ................................................. .................. 😆😆😆
