Full description
See the absolute best views the Grand Canyon has to offer on this 40–50-minute aerial sightseeing adventure. Enjoy an up-close and personal perspective only a helicopter can provide.
Join the tour conductors at the terminal at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN) in Grand Canyon Village. Settle into a state-of-the-art helicopter built especially for sightseeing, and off you go.
Soar across the canyon rim, watch as the ground seemingly drops out from under you. Gaze deep into the very core of the canyon over 5,000 feet down to the dramatic confluence of the Little Colorado River.
Drift past Imperial Point - a rugged stone spire standing alone near the North Rim of the Canyon. Fly at the same altitude as the North Rim, and look closely at the canyon walls.
Explore the North Rim from above, a vastly different climate that supports plant and animal life not present at the drier South Rim. Head back to Grand Canyon South Rim via the Dragon Corridor, another of the Grand Canyon's most picturesque sections.
Finish the tour and return to the terminal.

A very rushed and delayed trip with no extra time. We only had the Grand canyon experience for under 2 hours: Such a shame with the cost of the trip. Lots of hanging around.
