Description
The Longest Helicopter Flight Above & Below the West Rim of the Grand Canyon!
Explore the Grand Canyon like never before with one of the key tours Las Vegas has to offer. For a true feeling of exploration, this Las Vegas helicopter tour is a one of a kind, air-only sightseeing tour that takes guests exclusively into the mysterious depths of the Grand Canyon approximately 1,500′ below the rim and then turns around and flies back through the Grand Canyon at rim level. This Grand Canyon tour is the only helicopter ride in Vegas that gives you 30 miles of flight above and below the Grand Canyon itself. Twice the average flying distance!!
Once guests arrive at the private helicopter terminal, their tour begins by flying over Lake Mead, a popular recreational area for Las Vegas locals. Located on the Colorado River and less than a half-hour from the Strip, Lake Mead is considered the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of maximum water capacity and is the 16th largest human-made lake in the world.
During the flight, our guests can settle in and enjoy the comfort and luxury of the helicopter, providing excellent views of our journey as they fly into Arizona, and into the Grand Canyon itself. Considered one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World” guests will find themselves in for a real treat as their jet-assisted helicopter takes them into a narrated journey beyond time, through millions of years’ worth of geological evolution. The sheer beauty, colors, and size of the Grand Canyon will paint a majestic vista that will remain a portrait in the mind of the aerial view of Grand Canyon for years to come when you tour Grand Canyon from Las Vegas.
After leaving the Grand Canyon, our guests will experience additional natural wonders and panoramic views, which include Fortification Hill, which is a colorful and extinct volcano. Guests will also get an excellent view of some beautiful red rock areas which show off their vibrant red colors before this fantastic journey ends by returning to the original private helicopter departure terminal. Mercedes Benz luxury ground transportation to and from the private helicopter tour facility is optional and is highly recommended. You will experience an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience.
What Insiders Loved About This Tour: Departure from a private helicopter terminal for more personal service. Enjoy expert commentary and see the magnificent multi-colored canyon as well as the mighty Colorado River as you descend in your state-of-the-art jet helicopter.
