Memorial Day is on Monday, May 27, and it will be here before you know it. The holiday weekend also officially kicks off the peak months of the summer travel season, so if you plan to take a Grand Canyon airplane tour then, you had better book your seats early.

Airplane tours of the Grand Canyon depart from Vegas in Nevada and from Tusayan, Arizona near the South Rim. Flights operate on a regular schedule during the holiday weekend and depart several times daily. Still, you don't want to wait until the last minute to get your tickets, try to buy them at least one week ahead of time.

Airplane Tours Departing From Las Vegas

When Las Vegas is your departure city, you can go to the West or South Rims of the canyon. The flight to the West Rim takes around 30 minutes and once you are there, you can engage in several fun activities. One of the most popular options is a helicopter ride that takes you to the floor of the canyon. You might also enjoy taking a scenic raft float along the smooth waters of the Colorado River.

Another fantastic tour option is a pass to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The Skywalk is sure to give you your thrills and chills for the day. It is made out of glass and juts out 70 feet past the wall of the canyon. You feel suspended in the air, 4000 ft above the canyon floor!

The South Rim flights from Las Vegas are a lot of fun too. Flying to the South Rim is the best tour option because that only takes an hour whereas a bus ride there takes over five hours! When your flight arrives, you hop on a bus for a scenic 2 hour bus tour through the National Park, plus you can upgrade and add a thrilling helicopter ride along the Dragoon Corridor and across the canyon.

Grand Canyon Airplane Tours Of The South Rim

One of the most popular tours of the South Rim is the flight that takes you to the South, North, and East Rims of the canyon and lasts almost an hour. That tour allows you to see almost three-fourths of the entire park. It is the best way to get the full Grand Canyon experience when your time is limited.

You should also consider the new airplane tour that includes a raft trip. You begin with the 50 minute aerial tour that takes you to Glen Canyon Dam, there you get in a Jeep and ride through the slot canyons known as Antelope Canyon. Then you get on board a pontoon raft and begin a relaxing float tour along the Colorado River that covers about 15 miles. This scenic tour stays on gentle waters so kids as young as four are allowed.

In Summary

The Memorial Day holiday is a great three-day weekend to spend exploring the magnificent Grand Canyon while the temperatures are still mild. An airplane tour gives you a unique perspective on the immensity of the canyon and is the only way to appreciate it fully. They are affordable and great fun. Plus, the planes hold 19 people so it is an ideal trip for a large family or a group of travelers who want to stick together. Remember to get your tickets early and buy them online for the best price. Don't go to the big travel website, just go right to the tour operator's site. By completing your transaction on the tour operator's website, you get to take advantage of the Internet rate that is not available elsewhere.
