Terrific Grand Canyon Plane Flights

A fantastic place to take your family on vacation is the Grand Canyon

, which is one of the most popular national parks in the entire country. You can make it even more enjoyable by booking a Grand Canyon plane tour instead of settling for an ordinary drive-through visit. These plane rides create memories that will last a lifetime.

Every year, more than five million people from throughout the world travel to see the spectacular beauty of the Grand Canyon. A visit to the "Big Ditch" is on the "bucket lists" of many travelers. When you see it from the vantage point of an aerial tour, you will see and experience so much more than you otherwise would.

Grand Canyon airplane tours depart from Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. Either one of the departure points is a good choice as both of them will provide you with an amazing bird's eye view of the canyon below.

You can expect your flight to last a little over an hour. Your tour will be in a plane designed for sightseeing; most likely it will be a fixed-wing, seventeen seat Vistaliner. These planes are equipped with spacious cabins, excellent climate control systems, expansive viewing windows and comfortable seats. You will even get to listen to a pre-recorded tour narrative that describes the sights you are seeing below.

Grand Canyon aerial tours have been around since the 1920s and have thrilled generations of families with breathtaking views of the immense and beautiful canyon below. On your tour you can see other impressive sights such as Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, and the Mojave Desert. Even flying over the buildings and local landscape of Boulder City (Las Vegas departures only) is exhilarating.

There are lots of choices when it comes to a Grand Canyon airplane tour, but there are just two basic types, an air-only tour and a landing tour. If you don't have much time to spend on your tour, an aerial tour may be the best option, plus you can take these at either rim of the canyon. Landing tours are different and involve other activities. You can add a boat ride, Skywalk pass or helicopter ride to a West Rim flight. West Rim airplane rides can be upgraded to include a smooth-water float tour of the Colorado River. You can be as adventurous as you like, you are sure to find a tour that fits your likes and your budget.

I strongly suggest that you book your Grand Canyon plane tour at least 72 hours in advance, because it's better to be safe than sorry. Buying your ticket from a kiosk or your hotel concierge is not the best thing to do since you will pay more that way and you won't be able to find out much about the tour company.

Since the Grand Canyon is so incredibly huge, it isn't even possible to comprehend its grandeur unless you take an aerial tour. This geological wonderment is so massive, it can be seen from space, so you can see why to appreciate it fully, you need to view it from high above in a plane. An air tour is exciting and allows you to see more in a short amount of time; it would take days to cover the same distance on land. The Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing places on earth to explore and is the ideal place to take a fun-filled aerial tour.
