A variety of activities at the South Rim cater to park visitors. A driving tour ({{convert|35|mi|km}}) along the South Rim is split into two segments. The western drive to Hermit's Point is {{convert|8|mi|km|spell=in}} with several overlooks along the way, including Mohave Point, Hopi Point, and the [[John Wesley Powell|Powell]] Memorial.<ref name=SouthRim/> From March to December, access to Hermit's Rest is restricted to the free shuttle provided by the Park Service. The eastern portion to Desert View is {{convert|25|mi|km}}, and is open to private vehicles year round.

Walking tours include the Rim Trail, which runs west from the Pipe Creek viewpoint for about {{convert|8|mi|km|spell=in}} of paved road, followed by {{convert|7|mi|km|spell=in}} unpaved to Hermit's Rest. Hikes can begin almost anywhere along this trail, and a shuttle can return hikers to their point of origin. Mather Point, the first view most people reach when entering from the south entrance, is a popular place to begin.

Private canyon flyovers are provided by [[helicopter]]s and [[Fixed-wing aircraft|small airplanes]] out of Las Vegas, [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], and [[Grand Canyon National Park Airport]]. Due to a crash in the 1990s, scenic flights are no longer allowed to fly within {{convert|1500|ft|m}} of the rim within the Grand Canyon National Park.<ref name="Taennyn">{{Cite web |url=https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2014-title14-vol2/pdf/CFR-2014-title14-vol2-part91-appFederal.pdf |title=Archived copy |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629175020/https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2014-title14-vol2/pdf/CFR-2014-title14-vol2-part91-appFederal.pdf |archive-date=June 29, 2017 |access-date=November 3, 2017}}</ref>
