Las Vegas Helicopter Grand Canyon Tours


If you're going to be in Las Vegas, you should know there is a lot more to do there besides visiting casinos. One of the most exciting things you can do in this vibrant city is take Las Vegas helicopter Grand Canyon tours. One company offering this kind of tour is Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters. They offer a variety of exciting tours from which you can choose. One popular choice is the Grand Celebration Tour. This tour costs $324 per adult and is worth every penny.

On this tour, you will get to see Boulder City, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The flight is narrated which means you will also get to learn about what you are seeing. When you reach the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, the helicopter will travel 4,000 feet down to the bottom of the canyon. Here you can see billions of years of geological history up close. At the banks of the majestic Colorado River, you will depart from the helicopter and have a delicious picnic lunch.

Another notable part of the West Rim area is the Hualapai Native American reservation. You can explore the village and enjoy exhibits and demonstrations. The Hualapai tribe are the creators of the Skywalk which is a glass bridge that spans approximately 70 feet from the edge of the canyon. This helicopter tour is only one of the many available from Las Vegas. You can also find tours of the North Rim. There are tour packages to suit every preference and price range. Many of the available tours include fun extras and side trips to related attractions.

When you travel on Las Vegas helicopter Grand Canyon tours, you get a bird's eye view of the incredible landscape. If you've never seen the Grand Canyon before, this will likely be a life changing experience. Most people don't realize how large the canyon is until they see it in person. On a helicopter tour, you get incredible views and the opportunity to see the canyon from the inside. The rock formations and layers surrounding you are millions if not billions of years old. Even if you're not a geology buff you cannot help but marvel at the beauty and majesty of the Grand Canyon.
