Begin your air tour with a one hour flight from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon. Along the way, enjoy the view from the air as you pass over the Tonto National Forest; make a scenic pass through the Red Rock formations of Sedona; and soar past the San Francisco Peaks, Painted Desert and the Navajo Indian Reservation before arriving at the Grand Canyon. Continuing right over the Rim, you begin the scenic overflight of the Grand Canyon’s widest and deepest point, on a route that only a few are allowed to fly. This 20-30 minute overflight of one of nature’s most spectacular sights will give you a view of the Grand Canyon seen by only a handful of people as you fly 1,000 feet above the south rim and about equal to the north rim. After completing the overflight of the Grand Canyon, enjoy a short, one hour flight back to Phoenix by a more direct route.

Q&A

Q: What happens if the weather's bad on the day of the aerial tour?

A: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, Westwind Air Service will usually allow you to reschedule your flight. They prioritize safety, so if conditions aren’t ideal, they’ll reach out to you and give you options. It's best to keep an eye on the forecast a few days before your tour. Just make sure to call them if you're unsure!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this aerial tour?

A: Kids are welcome, but they should be at least 2 years old to fly. Just a heads up that children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult. It's a really cool experience for families, especially those who love nature!

Q: What should I wear for the Grand Canyon aerial tour?

A: Dress in layers! The temperature can change a lot, especially since you’re flying higher above the ground. I’d recommend comfy clothes and a light jacket just in case it gets chilly during the flight. Sunglasses are a must too; the sunlight can be pretty intense up there!

Thinking about gifting the Grand Canyon aerial tour - any personal experiences?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the Grand Canyon aerial tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves adventures and I think this would be perfect! I have a couple of questions though. How's the flight itself? Is it smooth? And any tips on the best time of year to go? I want it to be special!

Just got back from the Grand Canyon aerial tour, and wow!

I just completed the Grand Canyon aerial tour with Westwind Air Service, and it was beyond amazing! The flight from Phoenix was beautiful, especially the views over Sedona. The Grand Canyon looks even better from the sky, you guys! Totally worth the price. It was a bumpy landing but nothing crazy. Highly recommend it as a gift!
