Tour Description

Embark on an adventure that encompasses both natural beauty and historical significance. Start with a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon West Rim, with sights of the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead along the way. Upon arriving at Grand Canyon West, your helicopter will descend 4,000 feet to the canyon floor and land near the Colorado River where a champagne picnic awaits.
