Begin your Grand Canyon helicopter tour with pickup from select Las Vegas hotels in a luxury van. Transfer to Henderson Executive Airport, where you and a small group of no more than seven people board a state-of-the-art EC-130 helicopter. Enjoy the air-conditioned interior and wraparound windows for optimum viewing as you listen to recorded commentary about the sights ahead.

Follow the winding path of the Colorado River to the Grand Canyon’s West Rim.
