Visitors to the Grand Canyon South Rim can experience the expanse of this national park aboard a thrilling sightseeing helicopter tour, and can even enhance this adventure with an optional ground tour upgrade.

From your luxury helicopter, you'll set off over the massive gorges of the Grand Canyon National Park and above the roaring Colorado River. You'll see fantastic aerial sights of the most recognizable regions of the national park, including the oldest exposed rock known to man.

After a short pass over the rugged and dense forestry of the canyon's North Rim, you'll fly back to the South Rim through Dragon Corridor - the deepest and widest area.

Expand the adventure by adding a ground tour onboard a customized open-air Hummer vehicle! Your professional driver will stop at some of the best lookout points at the entire Grand Canyon like Duck on a Rock, Yavapai Point and Moran Point, where you'll have time to explore and take photos at each.

The highlight of our vacation

This was wonderful. My friend had never ridden in a helicopter before. She was thrilled. They were wonderful to us, helping us get in and out. The back seat had 4 seats in it but they let us have the back so each of us could have a window. When it came up over the ridge and we saw the canyon it was one of those moments. Brought tears to my eyes. There were many people from other countries. On our flight they were from Germany, so the information was played in English and German. Thought that was pretty cool. It was the highlight of our vacation.
Amazing views

The views are amazing! You won’t be disappointed! New pilot in training. Working on his control touch. But his instructor was funny!
Not so great customer service

My flight was supposed to leave at 3:30. I got there very early. I was in the waiting area and heard the staff member talking to other customers It was 3:30 When I said my flight was at 3:30 he said there are no 330 flights Even though I had the confirmation on my phone All he had to do was acknowledge that I had a 330 flight and they needed to make a change It seems there was some kind of error and finally they put me on the 4 o’clock flight I asked to sit in the front because I have some issues with small spaces I was going to pay the extra $60 There was a couple upfront and they didn’t switch with me so I sat in the back, which was OK But the staff didn’t make any effort to speak to them and see if I could change places with one of them The flight was a great experience. The view is really incredible But I wouldn’t suggest someone pay that much money to do it again I did it because two friends told me how absolutely amazing it was Mainly the experience with the helicopter company was really unpleasant In particular for something that was a really big expense for me
