Hey it's Keith Kravitz and this is Helicopter Weekend Update!
We are making our relentless way forward into summer. Get prepared and get booked. Fact: rates go up in June and take off from there until end of September. Leveraging this, you'll always get the best deal.
Been always getting a lot of questions about front seats and weight limits. Long and short of it all: Yes, there's ways to sit next to the pilot, and yes, one departure point does have weight requirements.
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 airplane tours. There's a basic and deluxe option. The former lands at the West Rim and includes a VIP Skywalk pass. The later includes a heli to the bottom and a Colorado River boat ride.
What to Wear
Lots of questions about what to wear during a fall/winter helicopter tour. In a nutshell: Layers. A light jacket over a fleece or just a fleece over a thick long-sleeved shirt. This especially applies if you are doing a landing tour in which you exit the helicopter, which is climate-controlled and nice and warm and comfortable. Also, please wear closed-toe shoes. The ground can be rocky and will trash high-heels etc. Go here for more info on what to wear...
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.
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. Or consider this airplane tour, which is cheaper, does the same thing except it flies at a higher altitude.
