Travelers ask me all the time, "What's the best deal you can offer me on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour?" To which I respond, "An aerial tour." But that only scratches the surface, so here's more of what you need to know when getting the best price possible.
To be specific, aerial tours are trips that don't land. By contrast, landing tours do by stopping at the top of the rim or the bottom. Further, landing tours are only available at the West Rim, which is only accessible from Las Vegas, NV.
There are two places from which helicopter tours depart: Las Vegas and Tusayan, AZ, which is also synonymous with the South Rim. As noted, Vegas flights go exclusively to the West Rim while Tusayan trips do the South Rim.
Las Vegas aerial tours depart from a number of major metro airports including Boulder City's municipal airport and Henderson's executive airstrip (South of Las Vegas). As for the flight, you'll go over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon West and the Skywalk before heading back.
South Rim air-only flights are either 30 minutes or 50 minutes in length. The first one goes from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. The longer one does that, too, but it also includes everything up to the Park's far eastern boundary.
Vegas aerial tours include hotel pick up and drop off; South Rim flights require you to drive yourself to the airport. Prices for both are usually fixed and include all taxes, fees and surcharges. Because these trips are straightforward and don't include and side-trips, they usually come with the cheapest rates.
In many cases, an air-only tour will suffice. However, if you are in Las Vegas and you want more, I suggest you consider booking a landing tour. The most popular one comes with a Champagne picnic. It usually sells out so make sure to purchase it well in advance. Two others I like come with a boat ride and/or Skywalk tickets. Do either of these and you're really in for an adventure.
Speaking of advance reservations, I always recommend you make them at least a week ahead of time. If you plan to come during summer or a major holiday, buy it two weeks out. There are two benefits to this. First, you'll most definitely get seats (important if you are two or more people). And second, you'll get a great rate.
I also recommend always purchasing your tour online. It's cheaper and more convenient. It's also not uncommon to find deals that save you up to 30 percent. Just check the special deals page. If what you want isn't on "sale," no worries because just using the website entitles you to the Internet rate.
Conclusion
Indeed, the air-only tour will always be your cheapest option when it comes to Grand Canyon helicopters. Plus these flights are a great way to sample the best the canyon has to offer. However, if you really want to explore the canyon, consider a landing tour. Yes, it�s going to cost more, but it�s worth it. Regardless which tour you pick, book it online and in advance. Following these two simple steps will ensure you get the flight you want at the low Internet rate.
