OK, looking to do the Grand Canyon in style while visiting Las Vegas? Try the Champagne picnic at the bottom! This trip covers all the basics en route to the Canyon, including Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Colorado River. Then you
descend 4,500 feet to the base. Ready to take the plunge?!?!

Looking for an incredibly affordable helicopter ride? Do the air-only flght from Vegas. It goes over all the big stuff (e.g. Hoover Dam) on the way to the West Rim before spending an extended amount flight time
hoovering over the best sights at the Canyon. This trip has value written all over it.

One of the best times of the day to experience the Canyon is at sunset. So thank goodness there are sunset heli tours! However, departures are once a day and flights are super limited. If you want one of these, you've got to
book fast and early.

South Rim Helicopter Choices
|
If you're in Arizona for business or pleasure, make sure you drive to the South Rim for a heli ride. Tours range from 30-minutes to 50-minutes. I personally prefer the longer tour because you get to see up to 75 percent of the
Canyon. There's also a really cool heli/Jeep combo. Give 'em a look.

This is the tour that will completely satisfy your "inner explorer." Starts with plane over Hoover and Lake Mead en route to a West Rim landing. Then it's a helicopter to the bottom and a boat ride on the Colorado River.
This tour wraps up with nearly 3+ hours to explore the top of the Rim itself!

Tips: Window Seats, Weight Limits |
I answer a lot of questions over the course of a day. By far, the two most popular have to do with 1) how to get window seats and 2) if there are weight limits. If these questions are burning a hole in you mind, go here and read this post now...

Skywalk on your bucket list? We've got you covered. Two options. The first is one that drops you off on the top of the rim for up to five hours of exploration. The other one does the same but
comes with a VIP Skywalk ticket that lets you save money and lets you cut to the front of the line.

Too many times I get a call from a traveler that needs a heli tour NOW. Sometimes I can help and when I do they end up buying a tour that's way more expensive than if they had booked in advance. Don't get caught in this situation. Buy your seats ahead of time. Here's a post I wrote that explains why travelers who RSVP win the game...

Skywalk Airplane PLUS VIP Ticket
|
FYI - On a budget but gotta see the Skywalk? No worries. We came up with an airplane package just for you! Flies over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam before landing. On the Rim, deplane and use your VIP
ticket to get special access to the Glass Bridge. This is how we do it!

South Rim 50-Min w/ 4x4 Tour
|
Yes, you read it right. We've combined our longest helicopter ride with 4x4 ride. In a nutshell, see up to 75 percent of the Canyon from the air then hit the road in a custom
guided Hummer Jeep and see two of the Park's most famous lookouts. This is the air-ground combo you've been searching for.

Hit the road, Jack! By that I mean get on a Vegas bus and go directly to the Grand Canyon. It's a full day of adventure that takes you
past Lake Mead and Hoover Dam and through the Mojave Desert until you arrive at the West Rim. Then the real fun and excitement starts!
