Hey it's Keith Kravitz...
I want to start off by saying our helicopter tours are not affected any potential US govt. shutdowns.
Why?
Well, our Las Vegas tours fly to the West Rim, which is NEXT TO the boundaries of the federally managed National Park.
And our South Rim tours depart from Tusayan, AZ, which is OUTSIDE the gates of the National Park.
I know I sound like a broken record but please book your tour in advance. It's fall (perfect weather!) folks, and every day is like Black Friday, which means we got everyone and their nephew trying to get airborne.

it's SO important 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!
I'm also getting a ton of inquiries about our Skywalk helicopter tours. There's a deluxe and a basic option. The deluxe Skywalk takes off from Vegas and includes the Vegas Strip and VIP Skywalk tickets. Plus it comes with free hotel transfers by limo!
The bottom-landing tour is our most popular package. Travelers just can't get enough of flying below the rim and landing at the base alongside the Colorado River. Further, this can ONLY be achieved if you depart from Las Vegas (South Rim bans this).
Final word: We've rolled out more helicopters for the sunset picnic tour. Book it while it's hot because these tours sell out ASAP.
What to Wear
Lots of questions about what to wear during a fall/winter helicopter tour. In a nutshell: Layers. Read this how-to-dress post for details...
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 and you can make it private if you like.
The other tour that's getting a lot of play is our air-ground combo. It combines a 30-min. heli w/ a 4x4 guided Jeep tour inside the
National Park. Includes a couple of stops at the best lookouts and plenty of time for pictures and selfies.
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. Or consider this airplane tour, which is cheaper, and does the same thing but at a higher
altitude.
