South Rim Helicopter, Airplane, Hummer, & Rafting Tours
Whether by ground or via helicopter, the Grand Canyon is the most majestic topography ever to be found on the planet. We should know - we've been taking guests on tours of the area for over fifty years!
Designated as a National Park in 1919, the Grand Canyon has grown to be one of the most visited destinations in the world. Boasting an average upwards of 6 million tourists each year, the canyon gives sightseers access to roam and hike around the rim uninhibited by barricades. Coupled with breathtaking views and countless activities - including Hummer excursions, helicopter tours, and rafting trips down the Colorado River- the Grand Canyon is worthy of its status as one of the World's Seven Natural Wonders.
Your helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon will be one of the greatest thrills of your life. Seeing the Grand Canyon from above is truly an vision unlike any other. Our goal is to take care of the little details, that way your experience seeing these natural phenomena is completely uninterrupted and carefree. All of our tours include audio narration recordings for you to enjoy during your flight. Choose from 12 languages (including English) to ensure that everyone on board will have the opportunity to learn about the history of the Grand Canyon and see for specific rock formations.
Incredible sights and formations can be found nearly every direction on a helicopter tour. Enter the canyon at Zuni Point, a scenic overlook nestled into the South Rim, then pass over Dragon Corridor - the deepest and widest part of the Grand Canyon. Perhaps the most breathtaking sight on your way over the North Rim is the Kaibab National Forest, an enormous blend of aspens, spruces, pines, and firs. You may even see deer, mountain lions, or black bears in their natural environment.
Continue the adventure back on land aboard an open-air Hummer vehicle for a tour through the Grand Canyon National Park. Your Hummer will stop at several destinations for photos at the canyon's best lookout points. To truly make your adventure one-of-a-kind, experience a rafting tour at the bottom of the canyon along the winding river rapids between the mountainous stone walls.
