Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Grand Canyon West, Pierce Ferry Road To Diamond Bar Road, AZ 86434
After purchasing your admission ticket, your aerial adventure begins by driving to the helicopter launch site at the Grand Canyon’s West Rim, where you’ll meet your crew and board a state-of-the-art, six-passenger A-Star jet helicopter. Soar high above the multi-hued landmark in your helicopter before descending 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) down from the rim into the canyon, where you can gain an intimate look at its diverse layers and striking colors. On the 12- to 15-minute flight, you’ll also pass over Guano Point, Eagle Point, and the Skywalk—a transparent horseshoe-shaped bridge and tourist attraction that juts over the canyon.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ
After your riverside landing, board a pontoon for an open-air journey between the Grand Canyon’s towering rock walls. On the leisurely 12- to 15-minute journey, relax and enjoy the vibrant colors of the canyon’s formations as the light plays off the water.
Duration: 15 minutes

It was incredible! Well worth the expense. After arriving at the west rim, we bought our access passes to the park and checked in with the tour group. It was like a well oiled machine - and we felt very comfortable with the process. The views from the helicopter down the side of the Canyon were unlike anything I have seen before. It was breathtaking. And once we were down in the Canyon, we had the sweetest guide on the boat tour along the river. All in all, it was awesome! Highly recommend.
Had a great time! Wish the pilot would have introduce himself. They got us checked in and on our flight in less than 20 min. REMARKABLE! Our water guide was a pleasure and very knowledgeable Very sweet lady. We will do it again on our next trip to the area.
Thought for the cost, helicopter ride would be longer than 20 mins. Would of been nice for pilot to recognise you and say something about Canyon, but an amazing experience.
It was a great tour! The staff was amazing and helpful. They do have different packages according to your budget. I would definitely recommend anyone to try them out!
Great trip with Viator, worth of money...
Though it seems expensive this tour is TOTALLY worth every penny!!! When you fly out over the Canyon...I can't even describe the feeling it gives you and how amazing the site is!! Breathtaking doesn't begin to describe it!! This was an experience my husband I will never forget for sure. I would take this tour 100 times over! Not only is the tour itself AMAZING....the people at the counter are so friendly and helpful!! I recommend this tour as highly was I can! TAKE IT!! You will NOT regret it!!
I have already given a rating for this. Without a doubt the worst travel experience I have had. Viator were so vague with the instructions that we went to the wrong place. Apparently this has happened to others before, and Viator still has not updated their instructions. They ruined a once in a lifetime experience.
