Explore the Grand Canyon South Rim by open-air Jeep, stopping at Desert View Watchtower and scenic overlooks with a local guide.

About this tour

Take in the Grand Canyon South Rim from an open-air Jeep Wrangler, with wide skies, rugged overlooks, and the Colorado River far below. This 3-hour Grand Canyon Jeep Tour travels across the South Rim to Desert View Watchtower, the park’s easternmost developed area.

A local guide leads the way to prominent viewpoints, including some of the more remote stops farther east, and shares stories about the region’s geology, human history, flora, and fauna. At Desert View Watchtower, look for murals depicting local Indigenous culture, then gaze toward the Colorado River as it curves west. On clear days, views can stretch more than 100 miles. Park admission for the tour and a ticket to the Grand Canyon IMAX movie are included; a park pass is needed for re-entry.

Choose this Grand Canyon Jeep Tour for an open-air ride paired with guided context and memorable photo stops. Book your South Rim outing and see the canyon from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.59 from 303 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Grand Canyon National Park
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.5.
