About this tour

Experience the Grand Canyon from the air on a scenic helicopter tour, taking in sweeping views of the ancient canyon landscape and surrounding forest. For an even more complete adventure, choose an optional Hummer tour during the day or at sunset and explore the Grand Canyon from ground level as well.

Your helicopter flight travels above Kaibab National Forest and across the widest section of the South Rim. Look down over the Colorado River as you continue toward the North Rim, passing impressive natural formations including the Tower of Ra and Vishnu Schist before flying through the dramatic Dragon Corridor.

Upgrade your experience with a guided Hummer tour designed for comfortable sightseeing and clear views of the canyon landscape. Stop at several well-known viewpoints to see rock formations, deep gorges, and other natural features. During the journey, your driver shares information about the Grand Canyon’s formation, history, wildlife, and early inhabitants. Each stop provides time to explore the surroundings and take photos, with a sunset Hummer option available for travelers who prefer evening views.
