Overview

This tour includes a 25-minute flight in a state-of-the-art EcoStar helicopter over the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The flight path passes through the Dragon Corridor, which is the deepest and widest section of the canyon. Passengers will see the Colorado River below and some of the oldest exposed rock formations on Earth. The helicopter also flies over the forested area between the North and South Rims, offering views of the rugged landscape. In-flight narration is provided in multiple languages. The helicopter portion lasts about 30 minutes in total. An optional upgrade includes a guided 2-hour ground tour aboard a customized open-air Hummer. A professional driver leads the tour to scenic viewpoints such as Duck on a Rock, Yavapai Point, and Moran Point, with time allotted at each stop for exploration and photography. Entrance fees to Grand Canyon National Park are not included. Starting January 1, 2026, non-U.S. residents joining commercial ground tours, including the Hummer option, must purchase a park pass or pay an entrance fee. Gratuities, food, drink, and hotel transfers are not included. Passengers should arrive 30 minutes before departure for check-in.
