[GRAND CANYON] Helicopter Weekend Update August 7, 2021

Hey it's Keith Kravitz and this is Helicopter Weekend Update!

Welcome to August! We are in the thick of summer travel season with the peak being Labor Day weekend (Sept. 6).

If you're planning for the last big summer holiday, RSVP your tour now because it's going to get chaotic.

Being early means you get the best seats on the best flight departures and that's important.

Temperatures have temporarily cooled off but I expect the heat to pick up where it left off. It's always good to know the weather and what to wear prior to getting here.

Las Vegas, NV

I'll be posting some Skywalk pictures on the Facebook page soon. Until then, let it be know that the VIP Skywalk tour is hot. Guests love it because it includes a Vegas Strip tour and hotel transfers by limo. Further, you get a VIP Skywalk ticket that lets you cut to the front of the line.

It's also the perfect time to do a Champagne helicopter tour. This is the one where you take a 3,500-foot descent to the bottom, deplane, and sip "bubbles." The Colorado River, the waterway that created the canyon, is nearby, and if you like, you can take a stroll and check it out.

I know I mentioned the 4-in-1 tour last issue but it deserves to be mentioned again. This is the tour that goes top, bottom, boat and Skywalk. It's the most comprehensive tour offered. Do it and you've seen it all. It also takes up to 7.5 hours to complete, which during summer can be challenging but during fall and winter it's a piece of cake.

If You Cancel

Travel these days requires max flexibility. We get it. And that's why we have the best cancellation policy. Whatever comes up, you cancel you get a 100% money back refund.

South Rim/Tusayan, AZ

If you are up in the South Rim, please consider the 30-minute helicopter + Jeep combo. This is our best selling air-ground tour. Heli flies South Rim to North Rim and back. Jeep cruises around the park for 2 hours. All together, this is a deeply satisfying tour.

I also have a 50-minute helicopter + 2-hr. Jeep tour, which has proven to be a huge hit with our guests.

FYI there are no South Rim tours that fly below the rim and land on the bottom. It's illegal. Thus your best option is the 50-minute flight. This one covers the South, East and North Rims and by the time you're done you'll have seen up to 75 percent of the Park.
