If you're visiting the Grand Canyon National Park, a helicopter tour is the only way to truly see the entire South Rim! Arrive at our state-of-the-art air terminal near the park entrance and board a 25-30 minute flight aboard a luxury sightseeing helicopter. You'll discover aerial views of the striped canyon walls, the Colorado River raging between them, the lush Kaibab Forest lining the canyon's surface, and the elusive North Rim.
You can also upgrade your Grand Canyon helicopter tour to include a ground excursion aboard an open-air Hummer vehicle that stops at multiple stunning lookout points along the canyon's edge.

Not a very interactive experience. We'd have liked more engagement from the pilot instead of Playlist. The canyon was magnificent of course! We thought we'd get more vertical experience. Glad we did this but wouldn't do it again or recommend based on cost per experience. Lot of the 25 minutes is spent flying over plateau to get to canyon

Helicopter will not fly if only two passengers. We were rebooked for a later flight so there would be four passengers.

Our pilot (Dan) was great! I was a bit nervous about flying and he helped me to feel much more comfortable and I ultimately really enjoyed the flight experience!

Trip was canceled and we did not receive any notification understanding that it was due to the weather it would have been nice to be notified so we did not have to make a trip and waist time
