What to Expect on a Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour

What better way to tour the Grand Canyon than by air? There’s a reason why helicopters are associated with the rich and famous – it’s a fantastic, luxurious way to travel, offering truly unique vantage points. Whether you’d like a relatively short flight or would prefer an excursion of several hours, complete with a landing in the canyon, there are plenty of tours to choose from.

You’ll travel in modern, air-conditioned luxury as you enjoy breathtaking sights people come from all over the world to appreciate. Be sure to bring your camera along to capture the sights!

A helicopter tour will make any trip special and provide memories to last a lifetime. You’ll have certified pilots and knowledgeable guides who will offer unique insights about the Grand Canyon’s history, including entertaining local legends. If you’d also like to see other sites, such as the Hoover Dam, several flights travel to additional landmarks.
