Highlights
No trip to Las Vegas would be complete without taking a relatively short trip to the mighty Grand Canyon, arguably the most famous natural landmark in the world. Considered one of the best Grand Canyon helicopter tours, this trip takes you deep into the geographic wonderland, landing on the banks of the Colorado River for a champagne picnic.
Our guide to the Grand Canyon Grand Celebration Helicopter Tour
Get ready to enjoy our most popular Grand Canyon helicopter flight as you embark on an unforgettable journey that includes an exclusive landing on the floor of the West Rim.
After being picked up in Las Vegas and taken to the state-of-the-art terminal in Boulder City (about 30 minutes from Las Vegas), you'll soon be flying majestically over stunning terrain.
Spot Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Guano Point, Eagle Point and more before taking an incredible 3,200-foot descent into the depths of the mighty Canyon itself.
Here you'll land on a private plateau overlooking the mighty Colorado River. You'll have plenty of time to explore the canyon floor, take in the magnificent views of the towering walls and rock formations, and enjoy a light picnic with a celebratory glass of champagne before returning to the terminal.
It's truly an experience unlike any other!
