Fly Over The Grand Canyon By Helicopter For A Tour Unlike Any Other

Touring the Grand Canyon by helicopter is one of the best ways to take in the amazing sites of this immense natural wonder

. Several tour companies offer tour packages that begin in Las Vegas and go to the West Rim or South Rim of the canyon. These tours include pickup and drop-off shuttle service at most Vegas Strip hotels.

Because flights are closely regulated over the Grand Canyon, helicopters are only allowed to fly to the West Rim and South Rim. Tours originating in Las Vegas include a plane flight to Grand Canyon National Park Airport in Tusayan, Arizona. From there you will hop on a chopper for the remainder of your tour.

Grand Canyon helicopter tours to the West Rim can be aerial only, or you can choose to land. If you don't have several hours to spend at the canyon, the aerial only tour may be the best choice since it only takes around three hours. Landing tours provide a more extensive, personal experience at the Grand Canyon by adding passes to the Grand Canyon Skywalk and/or boat rides down the Colorado River. Many people opt to take the West Rim landing tour that includes a descent to the canyon floor where a champagne picnic awaits.

Landing tours are not available at the South Rim as these tours are aerial-only. Aerial tours are perfect if you don't have any desire to get out and walk around or if you have mobility issues. South Rim helicopter tours usually turn around at the North Rim and return to their point of departure, a round trip which takes from 30 to 50 minutes. Points of interest on one of these tours includes the deepest part of the canyon known as Dragoon Corridor and Kaibab Plateau. You will also see the Tower of Ra which is over 6000 feet tall and derives its name from the Egyptian sun god. Other tour highlights include the Painted Desert, the Zuni Corridor and Temple Butte.

Only the most modern aircraft are used for touring the Grand Canyon. The large windows allow for unobstructed sightseeing, there is climate control, and the seats are roomy and comfortable too. The choppers are operated by licensed professional pilots who also double as entertaining tour guides that point out the interesting sights below. Some tours provide you with headphones so you can listen to an entertaining and educational recording during your flight.

Because these tours are so popular, the seats fill up fast, so it is a good idea to book your tour in advance. You should book your trip at least three days ahead of time. The earlier you book, the better your choices will be when it comes to dates, times, and prices. Since most of the choppers can only take six passengers, if you are traveling with a larger group, you will have to figure out how to divide it into smaller groups. Children are allowed as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

When you want a change of pace from the non-stop energy of the Vegas Strip, Grand Canyon helicopter tours are the answer. A helicopter tour will let you get close to nature and admire her spectacular beauty, and if you can take advantage of a great special offer, then your experience will be even sweeter.

The flight itself is great fun and it is the only way you can realize the massive scope of the Grand Canyon. Before you book your helicopter tour, be sure to look for an internet special that will save you as much as 35% off the price so you can save money while making memories to last forever.
