Description

The Area 51 Tour from Las Vegas takes you deep into Nevada's high desert to explore UFO hotspots and top-secret locations. This full-day adventure visits iconic sites tied to alien lore, from the unmarked Janet Airlines to the legendary Extraterrestrial Highway and Little A'Le'Inn, where you'll stop for lunch and try the famous Alien Burger.

The trip begins at Harry Reid International Airport, home to Janet Airlines—the secretive fleet said to shuttle workers to Area 51. You'll then travel through a rugged Joshua tree forest and stop at a dry lakebed, long rumored to be a hotspot for UFO activity.

Ride along the Extraterrestrial Highway, stopping for your included lunch at the Little A'Le'Inn, a UFO-themed diner filled with memorabilia and stories from past visitors. Afterward, visit the Black Mailbox, a famous meeting point for UFO hunters and believers.

Then arrive at the final stop: the heavily guarded Area 51 perimeter, where ominous signs, surveillance equipment, and restricted access create a chilling sense of mystery. With expert guides offering insight throughout the day, this tour delivers an unforgettable journey into the unknown.

"Exceptional 6 in 1 Grand Canyon and Helicopter Experience with Michael!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 05, 2026 NEW
We had an absolutely fantastic day trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon with Michael as our driver and tour guide. We did the 6 in 1 tour including the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. All admission fees were included. We were a group of 5. Michael is an incredibly careful and professional driver, which made us feel safe throughout the journey. What truly stood out was his deep knowledge, he shared fascinating insights about the mountains, landscapes, and even plantations, including specific historical timelines. His explanations of geology were brilliant and easy to understand, even for the kids. This was our children’s first time experiencing a desert (coming all the way from Malaysia), and Michael made it both educational and fun. He kept us entertained the entire journey with jokes, stories, and even sang a song for us! He was punctual, picking us up right from our hotel and ensuring we returned safely within the scheduled time. He was also extremely patient with our multiple restroom stops, something we really appreciated while traveling with kids. The trip was very well taken care of. Good food, snacks, and bottled water were all provided as promised. Michael also went above and beyond by helping us take some wonderful family photos that we’ll cherish. Overall, a truly memorable experience. If you’re planning a trip to the Grand Canyon, we highly recommend Michael and Adventure Photo Tours as they made the trip enjoyable! Thank you from Malaysia!
