Did you know that the Grand Canyon offers helicopter tours? What a great way to see the sites from an angle that not just anyone can enjoy. The view will surely be breathtaking! Taking a tour of the Grand Canyon from the air will certainly be an experience that you’ll always remember. It’s an adventure that you can share with friends and family for a lifetime.
Booking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon is not a difficult task but there are a few things that you’ll need to know in order to choose the right tour for you and your family. Before you can book your tour you’ll need to set a budget, consider how much time you’ll have for the tour and take into consideration any special needs that you or another family member may have. Once this is done, you’ll be able to choose the package that will suit your needs perfectly.
Most of the helicopter tours leave from the Grand Canyon Airport located just on the outside of the South Rim and others will leave from the West Rim. There are a variety of different packages offered that vary in prices. This makes it possible for visitors from all walks of life to enjoy this amazing opportunity.
The package you choose will determine what you’ll see while on your tour. For example, the only helicopter tour that takes you to the bottom of the canyon will leave from the West Rim. On this tour you can get off the plane and explore the chasm’s floor and get an up-close view of the Colorado River.
The tours that leave from the south side are not allowed to land at the bottom. However, you will have the unique adventure of flying through the deepest part of the Canyon called the Dragoon Corridor along with several other fascinating sites that you have to see to believe. The most famous pictures are taken from these tours.
You can even combine other activities with your helicopter tour such as a boat ride, horseback riding and you can visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Taking a helicopter tour of this National Park will give you access to parts of the Grand Canyon that it would take other tourist hours or even a couple of days to reach by foot. It will certainly be a memory that you’ll cherish forever.
