Grand Canyon airplane tours are a great way to experience the National Park. This presentation shares what to look for.

1. Comparing Las Vegas
Airplane Tours to Grand
Canyon West

2. Introduction
Best outdoor excursion while visiting Sin City?
Try a Las Vegas airplane tour to the West Rim
of the Grand Canyon. These flights are quick,
comfortable and fun. Trips run the gamut. The
ones that make the difference are the landing
tours. Here's a quick write-up that showcases
the best in class.

3. Airplane Landing Tours
I've flown them all and the following are best in
terms of safety, experience and value:
1. Indian Adventure. Lands at Grand Canyon
West airfield. Comes with 2.5 hours to explore
top of West Rim. Includes full-access to Park
and use of its shuttle bus service to Guano
Point, the area's premier lookout, and the
Indian Cultural Center.

4. Airplane Landing Tours
2. Indian Adventure w/ Skywalk. Get VIP
access to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, the glass
bridge that lets you stroll 70 feet past the edge
as the bottom lies 4,000 feet below. Includes a
couple of hours to check out all points of
interest at the top of the rim.

5. Airplane Landing Tours
3. Grand Voyage Expedition. My favorite air-
tour package. Deplane at Grand Canyon West.
Transfer to helicopter for 4,000-foot descent to
bottom before floating down Colorado River on
a steel-pontoon boat. Includes rim-top
exploration time.

6. All-Inclusive Air Tours
Landing tours are the complete package and
come with:
● Free hotel shuttle service to and from any
Vegas Strip hotel
● Grab-and-go breakfast
● Lunch
● Professional guide

7. Flight Path
The flight to the canyon is half the adventure.
You'll fly over magnificent Lake Mead, iconic
Hoover Dam and parts of the majestic Mojave
Desert. Planes fly at a higher altitude than, say,
helicopters, so expect bigger panoramas of the
West's most famous landscapes.

8. Why So Special?
The West Rim is the only place where you can
transfer to a helicopter and fly over the edge.
These tours depart exclusively from Las Vegas.
There's nothing like these tours at the South
Rim where the airspace is strictly controlled.
The point? If you are in Vegas, you've got to
book one of these exotic journeys.

9. Grand Canyon West
Grand Canyon West, also known as the West
Rim, is situated on the Hualapai Indian
Reservation. Currently, its main attraction is
the Sky Walk. Future plans include building out
a 100-mile stretch of the rim to include hotels,
restaurants and a cable car that goes to the
bottom. Stay tuned!

10. Plane Talk
The assumption is that these planes are small,
4-seat aircraft. Couldn't be further from the
truth. Tour operators use the Vistaliner, a plane
that seats 19 people and is thoroughly
customized for sightseeing. Features include
oversized viewing windows, deluxe climate-
control, lounge-style seats and an aerodynamic
body for one of the smoothest rides in the sky.

11. Get Airborne
Vegas plane tours to Grand Canyon West are
the perfect excursion for travelers who want to
experience the canyon in the least amount of
time. Landing tours are the way to go, and the
best is the one that includes a helicopter and
boat ride. These flights are very popular and
regularly sell out. Do your best to reserve your
flight online at least 72 hours in advance.
Follow these steps and you'll shortly be cleared
for take off!
