Arrive at our state-of-the-art air terminal near the park entrance and board a 25-30 minute flight aboard a luxury sightseeing helicopter. You'll discover aerial views of the striped canyon walls, the Colorado River raging between them, the lush Kaibab Forest lining the canyon's surface, and the elusive North Rim. You can also upgrade your Grand Canyon helicopter tour to include a ground excursion aboard an open-air Hummer vehicle that stops at multiple stunning lookout points along the canyon's edge.

Q&A

Q: Can I change the date for the helicopter tour if my plans change?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your helicopter tour if needed. Just make sure to give at least 24 hours notice to avoid any fees. It's best to call Papillon Helicopters directly to find a new time that works for you. They’ve been really flexible with changes in my experience!

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the helicopter tour?

A: There are no strict age limits for the helicopter tour, but children under 2 can fly for free on a parent’s lap. Just keep in mind that younger kids may need to be able to wear headphones for safety. It’s a great experience for all ages!

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter tour?

A: Dress in layers since it can get chilly up there, especially if you're flying in the morning. Closed-toe shoes are also a good idea because of the Hummer excursion. And don’t forget sunglasses! The views are stunning and the sun can be bright!

Just booked the helicopter tour with the Hummer excursion for my boyfriend's birthday!

I can’t wait! We’re going to the Grand Canyon next month and I thought this would be an epic way to celebrate. The combo looks awesome, and I’m super excited about the views from the helicopter. Anyone done this before? Any tips on the best time for pictures?

Thinking of gifting the helicopter tour to my parents for their anniversary!

They’ve always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, and I think this could be such a memorable experience for them. How was the Hummer part? Was it worth it?
