Hey it's Keith Kravitz and this is your Helicopter Weekend Update...
The first week of March is behind and is spring is pulling up fast. Hope you guys are ready to get visit the Canyon and try an air tour. Nearly all of our pre-pandemic tours are back online and ready for you to RSVP. Make sure to book as soon as you reasonably can as the Spring Break months (March thru April) are on the horizon and seats will sell out.
Until then...
Las Vegas, NV
Ready to land on the bottom of the Grand Canyon and sip bubbly while the Colorado River flows below? Then you've got to try our Champagne picnic tour. It's our #1 best-seller. People can't keep there hands off it. En route you fly over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and more. Pick from economy, deluxe, sunset or private. There's bound to be an option just for you.
Not to be outdone, our helicopter team also offers basic and deluxe Skywalk packages.
Things to Do
Flights and tours start from Las Vegas and Tusayan, AZ (Grand Canyon National Park Airport. Las Vegas flights go to the West Rim, which is about 120 miles east as the "crow flies." The South Rim, which is located in northern Arizona is 60 mins. from Flagstaff and Williams and about 3.5 hours form Phoenix. From Vegas, you'll need 5.5 hours to reach the South Rim. So...what to do when you get there? Lots! Here's a list of things to to at the West Rim and one that highlights things to do at the South Rim.
South Rim/Tusayan, AZ
We are getting a lot of bookings for the 50-minute South Rim flight. Doesn't surprise me. This tour covers 75 percent of the Canyon and goes over the South Rim, North Rim and the East Rim. Of course, it's the most expensive option but in my opinion it's the best value by far.
For folks on a budget, I strongly recommend the South Rim 30-minute basic flight. It does a straight-shot from South Rim to North Rim and back via the Dragoon Corridor, which is the widest, deepest section of the National Park. Prices fluctuate during the fall season but you can get the cheapest rates if you book online and in advance.
I also want to let you know that the weather is so darn awesome that it's an ideal time to do the helicopter + open-air Hummer/Jeep tour. This package starts with a 30-min. heli ride and concludes with a terrific 2-hour Jeep tour (over flat roads) that includes a guide and stops at key Park lookouts and monuments. There's also a sunset version (sells out fast).
