Overview
Red Rock Canyon sits roughly 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip but requires transport that most visitors don't have—and the canyon's multicolored sandstone formations are best seen at road level rather than from a tour bus window. This small-group tour covers the canyon by Polaris Slingshot, a three-wheeled automatic motorcycle that requires no motorcycle license, with a photo stop in the historic town of Blue Diamond.
- Explore the Red Rock Canyon at your own pace
- Experience the sights surrounding Las Vegas in a unique way
- Try your hand at driving on this self-led tour

Great ride and tour guide. Although we picked the hottest time of the year to ride, we truly had a great time. The tour guide was very informative and big on safety which helped us enjoy the ride. Definitely will do it again.

Bit chaotic on arrival, you also have to follow a lead car during the experience that is challenging at times in traffic. Slingshots are great fun to drive. Make sure you have the uber app as no taxis close by after the tour finishes.
Response from Host, May 2026
On arrival everyone is signing waivers and getting their helmets, so it’s a busy start. We can’t control traffic but we navigate through it safely. I agree that the slingshots are great fun. Thank you for being our guest.

Excellent experience highly recommend. Difference between it and a bus is crazy driving on high way or freeway was a bit nerve wrecking but so worth it the buzz i got after it was awesome. The food in Rick's bbq was delish

Wonderful experience riding slingshots with my family.
Zion was an amazing guide, he gave clear instructions and was very patient since it was our first time on the bikes. We went to Red Canyon, the scenery was breathtaking all through, the bikes were in great condition and a joy to ride, I highly recommend Vegas Trike Bikes, it's a novel way to explore Vegas.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
So glad to hear about your wonderful experience. Thank you for coming

Nikhil_J, Feb 2026
This was NOT what I was expecting
We thought we’d riding these slingshots in the desert- no. You’re driving through Las Vegas traffic on the way to red rock.
It was an experience but man, someone should have told us.
Guy who runs it made sure we got there and back, you drive in a convoy style, was stressed AF but made it back safely.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Sorry to hear about your misunderstanding. You were driving in the desert. You have to drive in traffic to reach beautiful Red Rock Canyon. This is not an off road tour. I hope you enjoyed the fun of riding the slingshot and the beautiful views.. Thank you
Anthony_G, Jan 2026
Very fun experience and the views were amazing! Owner/tour guide was a great guy. Machines were cool.

Had a ball enjoyed starting my 40th birthday celebration with a bang the tour was a breathtaking experience for me my tour guy gave me a spiritual confirmation about myself that. Hit deep I never would've thought I had to take a flight to Vegas to such a great conformation. 10/10 views 10/10
Response from Host, Dec 2025
So happy to hear that this was a very special tour in many ways. Thank you for coming
Justin_B, Dec 2025
Highly recommend great experience the temperature did get cooler as we got closer so jacket & gloves are recommended but they offer for 5$ & helmets 10$ each
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Glad you had a great time. Yes it's important to dress weather appropriate. Thank you
Michael_N, Nov 2025
The canyon was beautiful and the drive was a lot of fun. I recommend taking the highway route as it was a more fun drive.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Terry_S, Oct 2025
Great concept and something we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to our full expectations. We did enjoy the ride, but three things really kept me from giving a higher rating. First, it was billed as a two-hour tour - it lasted just short of three hours (thankfully we didn't have conflicting plans but one other party did and they had to return solo mid-ride). Second, our vehicle was very temperamental about shifting from neutral to drive. Several times we delayed the group because we couldn't get it in gear. Third, and by far the most important, literally the entire first hour of our tour was spent going down Las Vegas Blvd and hitting virtually every single stoplight. It was excruciatingly slow going and we got quite hot even on an 80 degree day (I can't fathom how uncomfortable it would have been mid-summer). In all honesty, I guess I'm glad we did it, but I definitely wouldn't be up for a return trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We don't have control over traffic unfortunately. That was a bonus free hour that most people do appreciate. The slingshots drive differently then a regular car, but most people don't have a problem adjusting to it. Glad you enjoyed the ride and hopefully the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. Thank you
Michelle_H, Oct 2025
Get there about 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Take an Uber or Lyft as there isn't parking. Wear sunblock, it gets hot in the slingshot sitting in the sun. You can bring water and snacks, I suggest this highly!! This was a lot of fun and the sights were awesome! My husband and I switched driving and it's worth the $20. Helmets are $10 and we had a bandana that was free to wear under the helmet.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for being our guest and your insights.
We do always have water for our guests.
Jeffrey_Y, Oct 2025
It was a great tour. Buck was conscientious about our safety. Started off slow- had to take time to get gas, but he added more time. Took us to many neat parts of the canyons and well worth the time.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for being our guest.

While noted as a 2-hr tour of Red Rock Canyon, you start in Las Vegas, drive through and around the city to get to Red Rock Canyon. You spend approximately 1 hour driving on the outskirts of the park. That being said, it was beautiful scenery and very enjoyable and overall worth the money. Just be prepared for a tour over 2-hours and over half city driving.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Although we cant control the distance to the Canyon, we all agree that the beautiful scenery is worth it. Thank You
Thomas_M, Jul 2025

Linda_Z, Jun 2025
Beautiful scenery but it was hot. I wish I would have done it earlier in the day but we would definitely do it again.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you
Cheryl_O, May 2025
Follow the recommendations listed on the tour. Long sleeves and pants will protect you from the sun. It’s about a 40 minute ride through Las Vegas traffic and interstate before you reach the Red Rock Canyon.
The slingshots were nice and easy to drive and helmets were provided for $10 each. But they are not required in NV. So it’s optional.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Glad you enjoyed your tour. Our tour regulations require the helmets, so it's not optional. Thank you for your input and for coming.

We recently booked the Red Rock Canyon Guided Automatic Slingshot Express Tour through Viator, and it was an exhilarating experience! The tour offered a unique way to explore the stunning landscapes of Red Rock Canyon, and riding in the slingshot vehicle was definitely a highlight.
The slingshot vehicle provided an exciting and fun way to navigate through the scenic routes. It felt like a blend of a motorcycle and a convertible, giving us a sense of freedom and adventure.
Red Rock Canyon's multicolored mountains and rock formations were breathtaking. The tour included several stops for photos, allowing us to capture the beauty of the area.
While the slingshot vehicle was fun to drive, we noticed that the upkeep could be better. Some of the vehicles seemed a bit worn out.
Despite the minor issue with vehicle maintenance, the tour was a fantastic way to experience Red Rock Canyon. The combination of thrilling rides and stunning views made it a memorable adventure. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to explore Las Vegas's natural beauty.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Wonderful to know of your awesome experience. Thank you for being our guest.
Tamara_B, Apr 2025
Great experience, would definitely do it again when I return. Tour guide was awesome, great customer service!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Great to hear you had a great time. Thank you for coming.
luvsurvivor, Apr 2025
What a thrill ride! This was a great way to explore red rock canyon and so fun! Go early as it’ll get hot! They charge $10 for a helmet and $20 if your partner is going to be driving too. Wish that info was posted up front, so bring cash for that and also a tip for the guide. I just wish we went on a road where we could really fly, but well worth it nonetheless!
Response from Host, May 2025
Glad you had a great time. The helmet and additional driver information is listed. We go speed limit. Thank you for coming
Miller_H, Apr 2025
It was an experience. I had never driven a slingshot, that was fun. But they seemed old. Very Jerry ride
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Driving an automatic slingshot is a different ,but exhilarating experience especially if you've never driven one before. These are 2021 slingshots, so definitely not old. Glad you had a great experience because that's the important thing. Thank you
David_D, Mar 2025
Great guide. This was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. They were easy to drive and the scenery was great.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

Rick_B, Mar 2025
They should know that this is a must when visiting Vegas...best believe its never leaving my to do list
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Agree! Thank you
Clonte_T, Mar 2025
There was no experience. I was contacted the day before and asked to reschedule my 1p appointment, I wasn't able to reschedule. I was told they will cancel on their end and return my payment. Three days have passed and my payment hasn't been returned.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hi, unfortunately we did not have enough participants to run the tour per our guidelines. We tried to reschedule you, but unfortunately you were not able to. Your refund comes from Viator not from us since you paid them and we don't see payments for 30 days. We regret the inconvenience
Kevin_S, Feb 2025
It was fun . Would have liked more back roads than highway but overall a great time Weather was good as well
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Back roads were not an option for this tour but, glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself.
It is a fun tour. Thank you.
Terica_J, Jan 2025
Tour guide was super nice and had lots of information about the desert . Me and my finance got stuck at a light and he pulled over and waited for us and then proceeded. Next time I come to Vegas I will definitely book with him again.
