Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter tour? Is it cold up there?

A: Dress in layers! The helicopter can get a bit chilly at altitude, especially if it's windy. I'd recommend a light jacket or sweater and comfortable shoes. Also, sunglasses are a must for the glare from the canyon!

Q: Is there an age limit for this helicopter tour? Can my 12-year-old join?

A: Kids ages 2 and up can join the tour, but they will need their own seat. It’s a great family experience! Just make sure your child is comfortable with heights.

Q: Do they have a weather cancellation policy? What if it rains?

A: Yes, weather can impact the flights. If they cancel due to bad weather, you’ll get a full refund or can reschedule for a later date. It’s best to check the weather forecast a day ahead just to be sure.

Just did the Grand Canyon helicopter tour, and WOW!

I took the 25-min helicopter tour at the South Rim last week and it was breathtaking! The views of the Colorado River and the canyon walls were unreal. We didn't opt for the Hummer but I saw others loving their ground tour. The narration was super informative too. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves nature. Totally worth the splurge!

Thinking of gifting the Grand Canyon helicopter tour—any tips?

I'm considering this for my boyfriend's birthday. He's a huge outdoor fan and I think this would blow his mind! Just wanted to know, how's the experience? Any tips on the best time to book? Is there a better time of year for this?
