Helicopter Tour of the Grand Canyon

[docarhen]

We plan on visiting the Grand Canyon this summer and would like to take an aerial tour of the canyon. Which services would you recommend from the South Rim area?

I suggested this outfit to a TUGger last year. He reported back that it was top shelf. You can pick your tour and your departure point. http://www.papillon.com/popris/show_categories.aspx?category_id=15&lang=en-US

Just an aside from a pilot of small airplanes. Go early. In Summer, it can get really bumpy later in the day and small aircraft fly less well in hot air.

Also, I believe there are flights out of Las Vegas;versus the ones at the GC Airport. (It's hard to tell but I thought you were talking about the south rim and it's hard to tell if you were planning to stay at GCNP overnight or just visit). The nearest flights are out of Tusayan - there are no flights FROM inside the park. Periodically I see those tours advertised on Groupon.

we just got back from vegas. We went to the west rim I believe the Indian reserve part where the skywalk is located. We did a helicopter ride into the canyon then a pontoon boat ride and back into the helicopter. Took a bus Planet Hollywood shops saw 3 points of interest at the canyon drove by and stopped for pics of hoover dam, the helicopter and or boat were add ons.

I don't think this is from the area you want, but I found it when looking at Costco online for another travel ticket.

Costco usually has prices that can't be beat.
