Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour
Options
When booking, you can choose between 3 different options. All start at Boulder City Airport and include a transfer to the Grand Canyon by helicopter, an English-speaking pilot and an audio guide. Below, you can see the details of each option:
Descent to the Grand Canyon + Picnic
After meeting at the airport, we'll climb aboard the helicopter and fly towards the Grand Canyon. Get your cameras ready, for you're about to see one of the best natural treasures in the USA.
During the tour, we'll fly over the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River and the Mojave Desert. Finally, we'll reach the Grand Canyon's West side, where we'll begin our descent to the base of the gorge so that you can explore this area on foot. Once we land, we'll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch accompanied by champagne.
With this great taste in your mouth, we'll give you half an hour of free time to walk the trails of the Grand Canyon. This is the perfect opportunity to get a close-up view of the spectacular rock formations, as well as the typical desert plants and the banks of the Colorado River.
At the agreed time, we'll take off again and head back to Boulder City by helicopter, where we'll say goodbye after a total of two and a half hours.
Grand Canyon West Tour
If you choose this option, you'll fly by helicopter from Boulder City to the Grand Canyon, and when we land, we'll take a 3-hour guided tour of the Grand Canyon West. During this bus tour, we'll visit all the attractions of this natural environment: Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapi Ranch. It will be a very complete visit!
4.5 hours later, we'll return by helicopter to the starting point in Boulder City.
Grand Canyon West Tour+ Skywalk
If you want to see the Grand Canyon in its entirety, then this tour is ideal for you. In addition to the helicopter ride and the Grand Canyon bus tour, you'll have access to the famous Skywalk, a glass-floored observation deck that rises 1,300 metres (4,265 feet) above sea level and from where you'll have incredible views of the landscape.
This option lasts 5 hours.
