    Full description

    Head to Grand Canyon Airport at Tusayan, Arizona for a fantastic 45-minute helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon. Departing from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, soar above the Kaibab National Forest for amazing views of the Marble Canyon and Point Imperial.

    Watch in awe as the South Rim gradually drops away, providing one of the most memorable views of the entire canyon. Climb above the North Rim, and experience the fabulous bird's-eye views before heading through the Dragon Corridor, the canyon's widest and deepest part. See in the distance the Painted Desert and the Desert View Watchtower, designed by the Hopi Native Americans. Your journey then follows the Colorado River upstream to where it merges with the Little Colorado River, back over the Kaibab National Forest, and on to Tusayan. Relax as you take in the views from a state-of-the-art ECO-Star Helicopter with individual leather seats, wraparound glass for outstanding visibility, and exceptional noise-reduction features both inside and out.

    The entire process from booking to confirmation to the flight itself was very easy and worked great. The local helicopter flight staff also had all the data and payment and we were able to enjoy a carefree flight. The flight over the Grand Canyon was overwhelming and we can only recommend it to everyone.

    The day of the flight the weather was terribly rainy and the visibility very poor. The agency canceled the flight and we offer several options: rebook the flight the next day or another day, or a full refund. We opted for the rebooking the next day. The agency is really serious and the pilot was very nice and funny. I liked that it gave heights, distances, speeds, in miles, miles/h AND in km, km/h. He put on music like Indiana Jones when we passed over the fault of the canyon. In short it was perfect.

    Very nice experience. I recommend the longer tour offered by GetYourGuide. Really exciting! Just be careful not to choose a shorter flight for organizational reasons as happened to us who had to choose whether to take a short flight immediately or wait 3 hours for the purchased flight. Of course we waited! A marvel of experience
