Q&A

Q: Can I reschedule the helicopter flight if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can definitely reschedule if the weather isn't cooperating! Papillon Helicopters will contact you if they need to cancel due to bad weather. Just make sure to call them directly as soon as you know you want to change dates. They'll help you find another spot that works for you.

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the helicopter tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but children must be at least 2 years old to fly. If they’re under 15, they can enter for free if you're doing the Hummer tour as well. Just make sure they sit in an appropriate seat with a seatbelt.

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter flight?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly up there, especially if you're flying early in the morning or later in the evening. A light jacket is great, and don’t forget sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun reflecting off the canyon. Comfortable shoes are a must if you do the Hummer tour afterward!

Thinking of gifting the Grand Canyon Helicopter Flight – any thoughts?

So I'm considering getting the 45-minute helicopter flight for my partner's birthday. I've heard the views are spectacular, and the Hummer tour seems like a fun add-on! Has anyone actually done this? What did you think? I’m curious about how the booking process went and if it was worth the price!

Anyone have tips for the Hummer tour after the helicopter ride?

Just booked the Grand Canyon helicopter flight with the Hummer tour for next week! I’m excited but I’m wondering if I should bring anything special for the Hummer part. This'll be my first time visiting the Grand Canyon, so any tips would be awesome!
