Skywalk Plane or Bus?

There are two economical ways to get to the Skywalk from Las Vegas. The first (and cheapest) is the Skywalk bus tour. The second is the Skywalk airplane tour (best value). Both come with free hotel transfers and lunch and VIP Skywalk tickets, which let you cut to the front of the line! These tours in particular are in high demand so if you want to to go for it book now BEFORE they sell out as seats are limited.

Champagne Picnic on Bottom

Cheers! Bottoms up! Or however you want to celebrate landing on the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Fact is, less than 5% of the people who visit the National Park make it to the bottom. Thus making those who do an elite group. In addition to our mobile "cocktail party," we also pick you up at your hotel and include 30-minutes of bottom time for vittles and selfies. Here's how to RSVP this adventure...

Grand Canyon Picnic w/ Las Vegas Strip

Vegas Sunset Landing Tour

This is the Champagne picnic tour but at sunset! Those in the know call this time day at the Grand Canyon the "Golden Hour." And for good reason. The light this time of the day is mystical and you get wild shadows on the cliffs and canyon walls. Includes hotel transfers and an extended tour over the Vegas Strip as the resort's turn on their neon lights. Go here for prices and availability...

South Rim (50-Minutes)

This is the South Rim helicopter tour that lets you see up to 75 percent of the National Park in under an hour! I know that sounds impossible considering the Park is comprised of more than a million acres but it's the truth. Take off from the South Rim and do the East Rim and North Rim before flying through the Dragon Corridor, the deepest, widest section of the Canyon. Book now here...

South Rim 30-Minutes + Jeep 4x4

This is the South Rim tour that combines air and land. Starts with helicopter tour from South Rim to North Rim and back via Dragon Corridor. Next is the 4x4 Hummer Jeep tour, which is 2.5 hours inside the National Park with stops at two of the Park's most famous lookouts. Do this trip and you've left no stone unturned. Book the standard version of this tour here or upgrade to do the Jeep segment at sunset...

Best Time to Fly

We in the industry call them "day parts," which is a fancy way of referring to the time of day that helicopters fly. There’s morning, afternoon and evening. After years of doing this, I’ve come to the conclusion that the following timeframes are best in terms of visibility and smooth air.

How to Get Front Seats

There are six seats in a helicopter and two of those are in the front next to the pilot. Interested in those? Get in line because everyone else is, too. However, with a little initiative on your part, there's a way to increase your odds of securing the price. One technique is super-obvious but overlooked. The other? Totally under the radar.
