Planning a Grand Canyon tour? The Grand Canyon is one of the best vacation spots in the United States. You have a host of options for your trip once you get there. Earlier, we covered mule rides. Now we will look at viewing the Grand Canyon from the air! Helicopter tours– Seeing the Grand Canyon via helicopter is an amazing experience. Nothing matches this gorgeous natural wonder of the world. To see it in all its glory you must view it from the air. Several options are available for your helicopter tour. Helicopters allow for unique views and they can get to places within the Grand Canyon quickly. They can also hover to allow great opportunities to take pictures. There are a host of options for your helicopter tour. Flights are in the range of 45-60 minutes. These tours tend to sell out quickly so it is recommended to book them well in advance of you trip. Airplane tours– Another option for viewing the Grand Canyon by air is by airplane. Tours by airplane are different from helicopter tours in that they do not stay in one spot for very long. This allows you to see more of the canyon. Also, some people find it more convenient to take off from the airport rather than having to drive to the heliport at the Grand Canyon. Airplane tours are also less expensive than helicopter tours so you can still see the Grand Canyon by air if you are on a budget. As with helicopter tours, tours by airplane range from around 45-60 minutes and sell out in advance. Adding a helicopter tour or airplane tour to your Grand Canyon tour is a great way to make it memorable experience. As with all trips, don’t forget your camera and make sure to take lots of pictures! Have a great trip!
