Father�s Day is almost here (this year, it�s Sunday, June 16). Have you always wanted to do something special for Dad on his special day? If so, consider one of the terrific Grand Canyon airplane tours � they�re always a big hit with Dads. Just make sure to book yours quickly because they almost always sell out.
All airplane tours serve up some amazing aerial views, but some also land, letting you do some exploring from the ground. Flights take off from two locations: Las Vegas, NV and the South Rim�s Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN) in Tusayan, AZ (just outside the Park�s main gates). They�re running on their regular schedules throughout the day.
South Rim Flights
Flights originating at GCN only do the South Rim, and all of them are air-only. That�s okay, though, because they�re a terrific experience. After taking off, they cover the South, North and East Rims before landing. By the time your tour�s over, you�ll have seen almost � of the entire National Park! Tour highlights include fantastic aerial views of Imperial Point, the Colorado River Confluence and Zuni Corridor.
Flights from Vegas
Planes taking off from Las Vegas do either the South or the West Rim. Air-only and landing tours are out there for both rims. The flight to the South Rim (270 miles from Sin City) takes about 60 minutes. The West Rim, being only 120 miles from Las Vegas, is only a 30-minute flight away.
Air-only tours are terrific for folks who are short on time or have a limited budget � they�re the cheapest Grand Canyon airplane tours. The usual route flies over Hoover Dam and scenic Lake Mead, circles Grand Canyon West and then turns back for Vegas.
Landing tours, on the other hand, give you a more in-depth canyon experience. After landing at the airstrip at Grand Canyon West, you�ll have as much as three hours to explore the West Rim. Highlights include Hualapai Ranch, Eagle Point, Guano Point, and the unforgettable Grand Canyon Skywalk (nicknamed �the Glass Bridge�).
This is a Father�s Day trip, so I suggest enhancing the basic tour by adding an optional side trip (or two!) Personally, I love the package that includes an exciting chopper ride to the canyon floor. And from there you hop a pontoon boat and float down the Colorado. The whole thing takes around seven hours. My other favorite add-on is VIP access to the Glass Bridge. This fantastic place lets you walk 70 feet past the rim�s edge and stand 4,000 feet above the bottom!
Another option is the Grand Canyon airplane tour that flies direct from Vegas to GCN at the South Rim. The flight there takes less than 60 minutes, and the package includes a 2 �-hour South Rim bus tour. Your Dad would love it even more if you added the optional rim-to-rim chopper flight through dramatic Dragoon Corridor - it�s the deepest, widest section of the entire canyon!
Wrapping Up
Dad deserves the best on his special day. A Father�s Day South or West Rim plane tour would more than fit the bill. Besides being packed with value, these tours serve up some absolutely breathtaking views. The plane cabins have plenty of space and leg room. Just remember two things: flights are popular so you need to book at least a week in advance; and buy online directly from the tour operator. If (but only if) you complete your purchase on the �Net, you�ll get a super Internet rate which can be as much as 30% off retail price.
