Hey it's Keith Kravitz and this is Helicopter Weekend Update!
It's still technically spring but let's not split hairs. It's hot and I'm calling it: summer is now. Temps are now hovering around 100 degrees at West Rim and I don't expect that to dip until September.
That's all good and well and if you live out here you're used to it. If not, prepare yourself. Get a hydroflask and stay hydrated. Sunblock and sunglasses are a must. Wondering what else to pack? Here's suggestions.
There's no chance of rain despite the occasional thunderclouds. If there's moisture, it'll be first week of July. Fingers crossed. However, if inclement weather were to arise, we've got you covered.
Moving on...
Las Vegas, NV
The most popular tour at this time is the Champagne helicopter package. I don't expect that to change. Especially consider how good of a value it is. The basic bottom-landing trip includes 30-minutes at the base, a picnic, and free hotel transfers.
There's a deluxe Champagne picnic, too. This is the better value but it costs more than the basic. What makes it better? First, it comes with a Vegas Strip flyover (top to bottom). Second, it includes free hotel transfers by limousine.
Then there's the air-only (no-landing) tour. This is a great option if you have limited time and/or budget. It flies over all the key landmarks. Super-size it & go with the deluxe option, which adds on a Vegas Strip flyover and limo transfers.
Weight Limits
There are no weight limits on helicopter tours. Just weight surcharges, and they go into effect on anyone who weighs more than 300 lbs. The surcharge only applies to Vegas departures.
South Rim/Tusayan, AZ
Try one of our helicopter and jeep combos. The most popular one includes a 30-minute helicopter ride and 2-hour Jeep tour inside the Park. This air-ground tour is the ultimate way to experience South Rim...if it's still available.
Then there's the 50-minute deluxe flyover. Flies over South Rim, East Rim and North Rim in one package. By the time you're done, you'll have seen up to 75 percent of the Park!
