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.

Fun times! Beginner to amature quad runner ride or rent a side by side. Bring sunscreen and sun glasses.

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.

The views are spectacular from the air and on the ground Samantha our tour guide was terrific. Lunch was delicious.

The trip was amazing - picked up from Caesars right on time. Then we boarded aeroplane for flight to canyon - great views of lake mead and Hoover dam in the way. Joshua was a fantastic guide who met us and took us to Ranch 10 - great ride down to canyon - it was chilly so we were given blankets for ride. We didn’t do the optional ATV which meant we were in the front so got to ask lots of questions, had a fun ride and didn’t get so dusty. The trip to the canyon was great - no one else around and a million miles from the more commercial helicopter rides you see. Got to walk around at the top of the canyon and watch the kayakers then back to the ranch for a lovely lunch (vegetarian v well catered for) before taking the plan ride back to Boulder City. The team were all genuinely friendly and very helpful. Thoroughly recommend !!!

We are so glad you had a great time. We strive to make grand memories.

From start to finish all the staff were incredible. The whole tour was so well organised, every last detail thought of,and the staff were amazing.
We didn't add the extra ATV tour but we were spoilt by our own private guide and chauffeur and didn't feel like we missed out at all.
The views from the plane and the ground were incredible and to be right there experiencing it with just your group and not another soul around was an unforgettable experience!
The ranch and food was amazing I could not recommend this tour enough!
Thank you so much grand canyon airlines and bar 10 ranch!

The visit and ATV ride were a very fun but dusty adventure to a very scenic spot, with views of the canyon and river that you’ll remember forever. I’m very glad I went. Highly recommended, with the warning that the road is very rough and the ATVs require a firm grip. But don’t let that scare you—if you don’t want to drive one, you can ride with the guide. Just be sure and wear old clothes, folks, and be prepared to be very dusty after. They’ll use air hoses to blow the worst if it off after, and showers are available at the Bar 10 Ranch you start from as well. But this is one trip where getting dirty is part of the fun!

This tour was the highlight of our sons’ graduation trip to Vegas! The transfers from the hotel were easy. The airport was very modern and check-in was a breeze. The airplane tour was smooth and the views were breath-taking. The cabin was comfortably air-conditioned and headsets were provided that played soothing music and interesting commentary on landmarks as we passed over them. The ATV trip was a bit fast and bumpy even for us as experienced ATV owners but still enjoyable. I recommend the side-by-side Polaris for a more comfortable trip. Our guide, Morgan, was adorable, fun and educational. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was even more special to share with our sons as they move on to the next big stages of their lives.

Response from Host, Jun 2022
Hello Angela,
We have advised Viator of the refund the moment we canceled. We apologize for the weather cancellation and not being able to fly you.

Flawless from flight to ATV ride to lunch. We had a such a wonderful, private viewing of the Grand Canyon. Adam and team were great hosts! So much so we want to come back and camp with them next year.
Ann_G, Oct 2021
It was a great trip. The ATVs were a bit rougher than anticipated. The trail is very rocky. I recommend wearing a covering for your face as it can get pretty dusty on the ride. I switched to the Cadillac (The UTV) on the way back with the kids in the back, Surprisingly fun when I thought it would be boring. My daughter had to switch back because of thumb problems with the throttle on the ATV. There is a place to wash up some after the trip before eating. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.

We really enjoyed seeing a beautiful part of the Grand Canyon that is not readily accessible. The Bar 10 ranch staff and the flight crews were fantastic.

I am so happy my husband and I got to experience the Grand Canyon. When I booked this tour, I didn't know what to expect. The entire experience was breathtaking, educating, exhilarating and we had so much fun. From the transportation provider, to the check in process, to the Pilot, to the tour guide and the food everything was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour.

The tiny plane ride was bit scary at times, but wow what an AMAZING experience. The people at Bar 10 Ranch are SO nice and fun and gave an excellent tour. 10000% recommending to everyone.
Thank you Bar 10 and the two Tanner's for a great day!

Plane flight from Boulder city were easy and offers great views. Bar 10 ranch is excellent the food and ranch hands were great. The view from the north Rim was great. the ride there is pretty rough. be prepared for lots of ups, downs, and turns. Rocky terrain. Plenty of photo opportunities. The ranch is a mid point for a few tours. Helicopters ferrying travelers to/from their Colorado river rafting adventures. Bar 10 is like a base Camp in the middle of nowhere.
Paul_C, May 2019
From the moment you are lead to your waiting aircraft you just new this was going to be a special day.And it was..... The flight was awesome over the Hoover Dam , Lake Mead and the Canyon.
Greeting us at the ranch was our tour leader for the day Joe who was fantastic.We where introduced to our trusted ATV's that carried us to the rim.Arriving at the the rim Joe was able to answer any questions our group had, we where given time to click away at the stunning Canyon before heading back to the Ranch for a hearty late lunch before returning back to Vegas with new found friends and a new found desire to do a white water rafting tour of the Canyon.
Would certainly recommend this.
Cheers to Joe hope all goes well for the wedding!!

There was only 4 of us total in our group, the airplane ride was interesting, but it gave a great view of the Grand Canyon as we flew in to a small landing strip on a private ranch where we were introduced to ATV's and given a choice on a ride. Had a fun ride blasting to and from the rim of the Canyon and got to see a side of it not to many get to enjoy in a quiet and peaceful setting. Highly recommend this tour!

Undoubtedly the highlight of my holiday!
Reuben our pilot was brilliant. Bar 10 Ranch was just brilliant. The owners/hosts were so kind and friendly. Pardon me for forgetting your names but thank you so much for such a brilliant time.
It was only the 4 of us at the ranch and on the place. We did the ATV tour as well - very bumpy and very dusty but incredible scenery and totally worth it.
Our tour guide was so iformative and knowledgeable and he really cared about the landscape around him.
Fabulous people, fabulous setting, fabulous lunch.. Would definitely recommend!!
Thank you!

Amazing experience...highly recommend if you are looking for something that is not the typical tourist tour.
Lindelee R, Jun 2017
Tour was amazeballs! Loved the staff. Good humour and we're looking after us in the incredible heatwave.
Lunch was delicious too.
Totally worth it!
Gene M, Jun 2017
Awesome experience! From the time we were picked up at our hotel although very early to the time we were dropped off everyone was very nice and pleasant to work with. The plane ride gave us awesome views. The head phone narration was not the best, but the views still made up for it. The ranch experience was good as well, including lunch. The ride out to the rim was bumpy, very dusty take or buy a bandana, but the views were again awesome. Dillon was a great tour guide!!! We thought we would get to explore more of the rim, but again an overall awesome experience.
rose C, May 2017
