The most popular tour is the one that flies to the bottom for a Champagne picnic. The descent takes you 4,000 feet into the belly of the canyon before alighting on a helipad at the base. Directly in front of you is the legendary Colorado River. This flight departs exclusively from Las Vegas and can only done at the West Rim.
En Route
The flight over is half the fun. First up, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. Unlike airplane tours, helicopters have more leeway in terms of flying off course and spending a more time over key landmarks like the Dam. You also fly at a lower altitude. Next is the stunning Grand Wash Cliffs, the Colorado River, the West Rim, Guano Point, Eagle Point and the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
About the West Rim
Vegas helicopters only fly to the West Rim. The South Rim, which is 277 miles from Sin City, is out of range. To get to the South Rim, you must take this airplane-helicopter combo tour. The West Rim, on the other hand, is just 120 miles away. Choppers make it over in just 45 minutes. This part of the canyon is situated on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, and is adjacent to the official National Park.
Things to Do
The great thing about West Rim helicopter tours is the selection. Specifically the landing tours, which range from picnicking on the bottom and boating the Colorado River to walking the Skywalk and rafting Black canyon. The South Rim is where you go for natural beauty. The West Rim is where you go for action and adventure. It's also the better option for day trips.
