Not gonna lie, I was super nervous about the helicopter but WOW. It was smoother than I expected and the views just blew my mind. Went with my bf - he took about a million pics lol. The pilot was kinda quiet but did answer a few of our questions. The pontoon boat ride after was suuuper chill, our guide cracked a few silly jokes. Bring a hat, the sun was STRONG. Would def do it again.

Best birthday EVER. My brother and I surprised our mom with a trip and she legit cried happy tears when the helicopter dipped into the canyon. The river was crazy blue. Our pilot, Kelly, pointed out little caves and we spotted a hawk. Snacks at the waiting area were a nice touch. Protip: bring ur own camera, the official pics are $$.

Really good overall, but we got a bit mixed up finding where to check in for the heli. Staff seemed frazzled that morning, but once we were up in the air, all stress just melted away. The canyon from above = EPIC. Boat driver was hilarious. Would’ve been 5 stars if the instructions at the start were clearer.

Fly over the majestic Grand Canyon in a helicopter as it takes you 3,500 feet to the bottom of the canyon while treating you to breathtaking views.

Marvel at the gigantic walls of the canyon, which may be more than 70 million years old, as you take a relaxing pontoon boat ride down the Colorado River.

Upgrade your experience with Skywalk access and park entry fee, offering a more elevated perspective and seamless access to the park’s iconic landmarks.

Explore the massive park in a hop-on hop-off shuttle bus that comes as a complimentary add-on with Grand Canyon West Rim Park entry tickets and catch the magnificent sights of a 10-foot-long glass skywalk and Eagle Rock formation.

Fun fact: The Hopi Tribe considers the Grand Canyon a gateway to the afterlife.

My whole family went and all ages loved it. My 7yo was terrified at first but the pilot let him sit up front (with me) and now he’s obsessed with helicopters. Boat ride was super peaceful. Will be talking about this for YEARRRS.

Went with my best friend and we took a billion selfies. Pilot was chill, let us ask a ton of questions. Views = mindblowing. Boat driver had a playlist going, made the trip even more fun.

An aerial view of the timeless Grand Canyon

After a 5-7 minute ride, you’ll land on the private landing strip at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

A fascinating boat ride and some majestic views
