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.

The helicopter tour was the highlight of our trip to the Grand Canyon. Words cannot even describe how amazing it was to see from right above the canyon! Hayden, our pilot, was awesome!! I highly recommend this tour!

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.

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