Grand Canyon West Rim and Beyond Helicopter Air Tour
$249.00 / Person · Length: Flight Duration: 25 minutes including loading and unloading
Description
Departing directly from the Grand Canyon Western Ranch heliport (just a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas), this spectacular 25-minute helicopter tour is the most affordable and dramatic way to experience the Grand Canyon. It's the perfect high-adventure addition for guests staying at the Ranch or for those driving out for the day.
Your journey begins the moment you lift off, soaring over the rugged Mojave desert. You’ll see the 800-year-old Joshua Tree Forest from above, along with the rock formations of Spirit Mountain and the magnificent Grand Wash Cliffs. As you approach the canyon's edge, your pilot will guide the helicopter 1,500 feet below the West Rim. For over 15 miles, you'll soar through the canyon—an experience once reserved for eagles—tracing the path of the Colorado River far below and flying alongside immense canyon walls glowing with deep reds and gold.
Our helicopters are designed for sightseeing, with forward-facing stadium-style seating and 180-degree panoramic windows, so there is truly no bad seat. Throughout the flight, your pilot provides live narration, explaining the geology and history that make this one of the world's greatest natural wonders. After exiting through the scenic Quarter Master Canyon, you'll land back at the Ranch. It’s an intense, peaceful, and overwhelming experience—like being dropped into a place you thought only existed in photos.
