Lots of travelers visiting Las Vegas or Arizona want to take a Grand Canyon helicopter tour. To put you on the path the one that best meets your needs, here are a few tips that will help you choose between aerial and landing tours.
For some, the decision is already made for them. By this I mean visitors starting out from such Arizona cities like Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Williams and Tusayan. From those starting points, the only option is air tours.
The reason for this is that the National Park Service and the Federal Aviation Administration have banned helicopters from flying below the rim and landing at the bottom. This restriction is due in great part to reducing noise and air pollution. To that extent, I'm in total agreement.
Further, the options available at South Rim (Arizona) are pretty remarkable in and of themselves. Travelers can choose from a 30-minute or a 50-minute flight. Both are extraordinary, with the shorter one going from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. The longer flight does the same but also includes everything up to the eastern boundary.
If you are in Las Vegas, you can choose between air and landing trips. This is because the West Rim is outside the West Rim's jurisdiction and not subject to federal regulations (in fact, the entire West Rim is located on sovereign Hualapai Indian tribal lands).
Thus the most popular landing tour is the one that that lands at the bottom for a Champagne picnic alongside the famous Colorado River. For those seeking even more adventure, consider adding on a boat ride down the majestic waterway, too. There's also a flight that includes the bottom and the top and the Skywalk!
Indeed, Las Vegas has its fair share of aerial tours as well. Like landing trips, they go over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the West Rim. But instead of landing they loop back to Vegas once they fly by the Skywalk. Speaking of the Glass Bridge, you can't miss it - it's one of the world's greatest outdoor attractions and is an amazing site from above.
Pay attention to is the helicopter you'll be flying in. There are basic helicopters and they get the job done. You'll primarily find them on air-only flights. However, if you get the chance, try to get on board a deluxe EcoStar 130. These helicopters are state-of-the-art and feature 25 percent more cabin space, 180-degree wraparound windshields and stadium-style seating. If you are taking a Vegas landing tour, there's a good chance you'll be on one of these. If you are departing from South Rim, these choppers are only available on the deluxe versions of 30-minute and 50-minute tours.
Regardless of destination, helicopters tours are popular and often sell out. To make sure you get a seat, always book in advance. I usually recommend you reserve your seats at least a week ahead of time. Not only will you get your seats but also you'll get to choose from some of the best flight times. Further, book your tour online. That's where you'll find the best prices. But make sure you complete your booking on the website. Otherwise, you might not qualify for the Internet rate.
