Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this helicopter tour?

A: Yes, children must be at least 2 years old to take this helicopter tour, and any child under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. Just keep in mind that there are weight restrictions too, so check the details if you're planning to bring kids along. It's a thrilling experience, so make sure they’re ready for the ride!

Q: What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?

A: If weather conditions aren’t safe for flying, Papillon Helicopters usually reschedules the tour for you at no extra cost. They’re pretty flexible, so just reach out to them. Keep an eye on the forecast before your trip, but don't stress too much—safety comes first.

Q: How much time should I plan for hotel pickup and the tour?

A: If you choose the hotel pickup option, plan for at least an hour before the flight to be picked up. The flight itself lasts about 70 minutes, but you should account for check-in and any safety briefings too. Overall, a 2.5 to 3-hour window is a good idea to ensure you aren't rushed.

Just booked the Grand Canyon helicopter tour, any tips?

Hey everyone! I just booked the Grand Canyon West Rim Aerial Helicopter Tour for my anniversary. I went for the option that includes the flight over the Vegas Strip too. Super excited! I’m wondering what I should wear—anything specific for comfort? Also, any tips for the best views?

Helicopter tour was AMAZING! Here's my experience.

I did the helicopter tour last month and wow, just wow. The views were breathtaking! Flying over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam was unforgettable. We opted for the Vegas Strip upgrade on the way back, and it was the cherry on top! Highly recommend bringing a good camera—my pics turned out incredible. Can't wait to go again!
