Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the helicopter tour and rafting trip?

A: Yes, there are age restrictions. Kids under 2 years can fly for free on an adult's lap, but they can’t go rafting. Kids ages 2 to 12 must have a parent or guardian present, and they usually do great! The rafting portion is also pretty kid-friendly, but check your specific tour operator for any updates.

Q: What should we wear for this tour? Is it super hot?

A: Definitely dress for comfort! Lightweight, breathable clothing is the way to go. The helicopter will be cool, but once you're on the canyon floor, it can get really warm. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen, especially for the rafting part. Good footwear is key too since you’ll be getting on and off the raft a lot!

Q: Can this experience be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, the tour is usually very flexible with weather conditions. If it’s really bad, they’ll give you a chance to reschedule for another day. Just reach out to them as soon as possible. They’re pretty accommodating, especially for those flying in from out of town!

Thinking of gifting the Grand Celebration Helicopter Tour - any tips?

Hey everyone! I'm considering getting this helicopter and rafting tour for my partner's birthday. I've heard it’s an amazing experience, but I’m curious about what to expect. How's the rafting part? Is it suitable for someone who's a bit nervous about water? Also, any recommendations for the best time to book? Thanks!

Just did the Grand Canyon helicopter tour - WOW!

I just got back from the Grand Celebration Helicopter Tour and it was absolutely breathtaking! The descent into the canyon was surreal, and the picnic with champagne was such a cool touch. The rafting was a bit chilly but totally worth it for the views. If you’re thinking about this as a gift, do it! You won’t regret it.
