Mother's Day will be here soon. Have you made plans yet? If you are looking for a fun way to celebrate the day with your Mom, consider taking a tour of the Grand Canyon. There are different types of tours you can take, so you are certain to find something you and your Mom will truly enjoy.
Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 12, and most of the tours operate on a regular schedule that day. That is to your advantage since it gives you more choices in tours and times. Since it is getting warm already, you should probably book an early morning tour if you can.
There are four different tour options suitable for your Mom to enjoy and these are by airplane, helicopter, bus and raft. Here is an overview of each of these choices.
Helicopter Tours
Helicopters take off from the Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan, Arizona and from the city of Las Vegas. Choppers from Vegas fly to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon while flights in Arizona go to the South Rim. Leaving from Vegas and going to the West Rim gives you the option of choosing a landing tour because helicopters are allowed to fly to the floor of the canyon at the West Rim.
A great option for your Mom would be a landing tour that includes a champagne picnic on the bottom of the canyon, a relaxing boat trip along the Colorado River, or passes to the thrilling Grand Canyon Skywalk.
If you choose a tour of the South Rim, you can opt for a 30 minute or 50 minute flight. Select a deluxe tour for your Mom that utilizes an EcoStar 130 helicopter. You can also add fun options to your flight such as a motorcycle tour or a jeep safari.
Airplane Tours
Airplane tours of the Grand Canyon depart every day from Las Vegas and Tusayan, AZ. The tours that depart from Vegas go to both rims of the canyon, while the ones that originate in Tusayan go only to the South Rim. Plane tours to the West Rim are air only or landing, and can be combined with a helicopter descent to the canyon floor. The airplane tour of the South Rim follows the same route as the 50 minute chopper tour, and takes you over the South, North, and East Rims of the canyon along with other notable landmarks such as the Dragoon Corridor.
Raft Tours
If you want to experience the best float tour of the Grand Canyon, you should go to the South Rim. These leave once daily from the Tusayan airport and go to Page, Arizona. You can also get to Page by bus if you prefer. The fun rafting tour starts at the base of Glen Canyon Dam, meanders 15 miles down the river and ends at Lee's Ferry. Your Mom will love this raft tour since there are no rough waters or rapids, in fact, kids as young as 4 are allowed on these tours because the water is so calm.
The raft tour that originates in Las Vegas starts with a helicopter descent to the canyon floor and includes an 11-mile float trip from Hoover Dam to Willow Beach. A rafting tour is a fantastic way to spend a day soaking up the sun, so bring your swimsuit so you can go for a nice cool dip in the clear canyon water.
Bus Tours
Bus tours of the Grand Canyon leave Vegas once daily, every day. These go to the South Rim and the West Rim. However, the West Rim tours offer the most fun options such as a helicopter ride to the floor of the canyon. You can add a helicopter tour to the South Rim trip too, but instead of flying to the floor of the canyon, you fly across the gorge. If you prefer a more personalized experience for your family outing, you can opt for a private van to transport your family rather than riding on a tour bus.
In Summary
Any of these Grand Canyon tours would be the perfect way to celebrate Mom's special day. If you are going to be in Arizona or Vegas anyway, you should not miss the opportunity to take your Mom on one of these fantastic trips. If you decide to treat your Mom to one of these exciting Grand Canyon tours, be sure to book your seats in advance because they are so popular, they sell out quickly.
