*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The Grand Canyon is one of America's best National Parks. And one of the best ways to see it is by helicopter. Of course, there are lots of options from which to choose, but if you follow these 5 tips you'll land the one that's best for you.

Couple of quick facts before we dive in. There are two places from which to visit the Canyon: the West Rim and the South Rim. From Las Vegas, you'll visit the West by helicopter and from Tusayan, AZ, you'll see the South.

South Rim Options

There are NO helicopters from Las Vegas to the South Rim. It's too far. Thus if you want to do this you'll have to take an airplane ride first, land, and then do a helicopter ride at South Rim. In most cases, these trips include a 2.5-hour bus tour, too.

OK, the tips. The first one I've got for you is book in advance. This is very important because flights sell out quite regularly, especially during summer. My recommendation is that you purchase your tour once you get your rooms finalized. Barring that, no less than a week from desired departure time.

Right behind reservations is booking online. Folks, this is the only way to go if you want to save money. Online prices are cheaper than retail - some by up to 35 percent! However, in order to get that discount you MUST complete the transaction online. Failure to do so could result in a higher price.

Flight Times

Another tip is to book a mid-morning flight. Helicopter tours depart nearly every hour of the day but the best take off between 8 a. M. And 11 a. M. I like this timeframe because that's when visibility is best and you also get the smoothest air. I also like late afternoon flights and in particular sunset ones.

(Quick word about sunset tours - These are very limited because they only leave once a day at a certain hour in order to be in the air as the sun sets. In all cases you will have to RSVP this one in order to do it. No exceptions.)

My fourth tip is take a landing tour. For the record, most of these take off from Las Vegas and they are spectacular. My favorite is the one that goes to the bottom of the Canyon for a Champagne Picnic followed closely by another that includes a boat ride on the Colorado and full access to the Skywalk. You can't go wrong with either.

However, and this is the fifth and final tip, if you pick an air-only tour, make sure to take the one that leaves from the Las Vegas Strip and includes a limousine ride to and from your hotel. Or, if you are doing an aerial from South Rim, take the 50-minute flight because you'll see up to 75 percent of the National Park.

Conclusion

I hope these 5 tips for better Grand Canyon helicopter tours prove useful to you. I know for a fact that just using several of them will significantly improve your tour experience. To my mind, the most important thing you can do is purchase your heli online and in advance. Just doing this will ensure that you get the helicopter ride you want at a great price!
