[GRAND CANYON] Helicopter Deals & Tips March 26, 2022

Published: Sat, 03/26/22

Hey it's Keith Kravitz and I hope you're having a terrific weekend!

Flying conditions have been absolutely awesome this Spring and I don't expect that to change going forward.

Yes, indeed, it's been warming up, but nothing like last year. Go here if you want to know how to dress for a tour (and please understand that all helicopters include climate-control).

Are we busy here at the Grand Canyon?

Yes! Doesn't matter what day you go or if you are doing the tour from Las Vegas or South Rim.

So please book in advance. If you think last-minute is cheaper. You're wrong. Or if the price is lower in Las Vegas? Again, wrong.

Why?

Because it's the last major holiday week of the summer. Read this if you need more reasons why you need to RSVP.

Las Vegas, NV

I'm seeing a lot of folks on a medium-to-tight budget. No worries. I got just the tour. It's the all-air (no-landing option). Flies over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and the Colorado River before doing the Canyon. Includes free hotel transfers. You can't get a better value tour than that! Plus, you can privatize this tour.

Then there's our all-time favorite: the Champagne Picnic tour. If you got a few extra bucks, always for the deluxe option. It includes limo pick up and a tour over the Vegas Strip. If you need a great value, go with the basic landing tour, which delivers a no-frill awesome experience for a cheaper price. You are welcome to make this tour private or upgrade it to be a sunset flight...

Our famous 4-in-1 SUPER tour is back online and travelers can't get enough of it. This package let's your experience the top AND bottom and includes a boat ride and a VIP Skywalk ticket. This is most definitely the trip that let's you boast "been there, done that!"

Weight Limits

There are no weight limits. There are weight surcharges, which are applied to your ticket at check-in if you weigh more than 299 pounds and the surcharge is only on Vegas departures. Need more info? Read this short article...

South Rim/Tusayan, AZ

Just like Las Vegas, I get lots of folks and families on a budget. If that's you, take the 30-minute basic helicopter tour. This one goes from South Rim to North Rim and back via the Dragoon Corridor. It's one of the best air-tour deals out there and highly recommended. Plus it can be privatized on-demand or optioned up to include a 4x4 Jeep tour inside the National Park.

For those with a thicker wallet, by all means please do the 50-minute ride. This tour covers all the rims except the West Rim (too far) and once you've done this you'll have seen up to 75 percent of the national park. The canyon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and this tour delivers that and more (it's also available in private). Or consider this airplane tour, which is cheaper, does the same thing except it flies at a higher altitude.
