Q&A

Q: How long do we have to explore the Grand Canyon after the helicopter ride?

A: You typically get about an hour to explore the rim after your helicopter tour. It’s a nice amount of time for taking photos and just soaking in the views! Remember, there are some trails if you're up for a little hike, but just be mindful of the time to get back.

Q: Is there a weight limit for the helicopter? I want to buy this for my partner but he’s a bit on the heavier side.

A: Yes, there is a weight limit. Most ECO-Star helicopters have a max weight limit of around 300 lbs per person, but it’s best to check directly with Detours of Arizona for specifics. If you’re ever uncertain, just give them a call. They’re super helpful about this stuff!

Q: If the weather looks bad, can we reschedule?

A: Yes! They have a flexible rescheduling policy if the weather isn’t ideal. Just make sure to contact them as soon as you can. They’ll work with you to find a new date that fits your schedule.

Thinking of gifting the Grand Canyon helicopter tour! Any tips?

I’m planning to surprise my sister with the Grand Canyon Helicopter & Ground Tour from Phoenix! She’s always wanted to go, and the helicopter views sound amazing. I’ve read it’s about 45 minutes in the air, and you get some time to explore the canyon afterward. Anyone done this before? How was the experience?
