Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

 

The Grand Canyon is far too large to walk, so why not fly over it instead? These tour companies are offering a spectacular view from the top while you ride in style on a helicopter.

 

Papillion

Papillion offers multiple tours for the adventurous traveler. You can choose a quick flyover of the entire canyon, site-specific tours of different regions or combine your flyover with a boat ride and a trip on the Skywalk. They also have a few airplane tours if you’re feeling really adventurous.

 

Sundance Helicopters

Sundance Helicopters offers tours out of Las Vegas that cover many other landmarks in addition to the Grand Canyon. Sure, you can book a trip straight there and back, but if you’ve got money to spend you can also fly over the Valley of Fire, Eagle Point or along the Colorado River. Take your pick.

 

Maverick Helicopter

Maverick is more than just a helicopter touring company. They also offer airplane rides and rafting trips, so you could plan your entire Vegas vacation in one go with these guys. Take a trip over the Grand Canyon then loop around when night falls to hover over the lights of the Las Vegas strip.

 

Grand Canyon Tour Company

The Grand Canyon Tour Company is the perfect fit for anyone wanting something of a unique trip over the Grand Canyon. Specifically, their Twilight Tour package will fly you over just as the sun is setting so you can see the deep gorge in all it’s colorful glory. As an added bonus, they offer white water rafting tours, too!
