South Rim Helicopter Tour + Ground Tour

Departs from the Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ area

Your adventure begins when you are picked up in a comfortable executive-style van from the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. You will drive through the Sonoran Desert, which is filled with native saguaro cactus. As you head toward the Grand Canyon, you will witness the landscape change from desert beauty to grasslands to Ponderosa pine forests.

This journey includes a 45-minute Grand Canyon helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. Your flight begins by taking you over the beautiful Kaibab National Forest, home to the World’s largest stand of Ponderosa pine trees. Once you reach the edge of the forest, the rim drops away, and the magnificent Grand Canyon comes into full view. It is an amazing experience!  Your flight continues with views of the Painted Desert and Desert View Watchtower. You will see where the Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers meet and have bird’s-eye views of Point Imperial and Marble Canyon as you climb above the North Rim. Appreciate the beauty of the Dragon Corridor, which is the widest and deepest portion of the Grand Canyon.

After your amazing helicopter tour, you will enter the Grand Canyon to witness the beauty by foot. Enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the Grand Canyon from different panoramic overlooks along the rim. Your entire day is filled with amazing opportunities to take in the splendor of nature.
