The Grand Canyon floor landing tours run year-round, but the experience varies beautifully with the seasons.
Before you hop aboard, here are a few things to keep in mind to make your flight smooth and safe:
Known for its iconic viewpoints like Mather Point and Yavapai Observation Station, the Grand Canyon South Rim is the most visited section of the canyon. It offers expansive hiking trails, scenic drives, and museums that tell the story of the canyon’s geological and cultural history.
For a quieter and more rugged experience, head to the Grand Canyon North Rim. Open seasonally from mid-May to mid-October, it sits 1,000 feet higher than the South Rim, offering cooler weather, pine forests, and fewer crowds.
Encompassing both the South and North Rims, Grand Canyon National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases millions of years of Earth’s history. Here, you can hike, camp, or join ranger-led programs that dive into the canyon’s ecology and geology.
A floor landing helicopter tour lets you fly over the canyon and actually touch down 4,000 feet below the rim. It’s an experience only available at the West Rim. After landing, you’ll have time to walk around, take photos by the Colorado River, and in some tours, even enjoy a champagne picnic or pontoon boat ride.
Most Grand Canyon helicopter landing tours last between 4-10 hours, depending on where you depart from and what’s included. If you’re flying from Las Vegas, expect a longer experience since travel time is built in. Tours departing from the West Rim itself are shorter and more direct.
No. Floor landing tours are only available at the Grand Canyon West Rim. The South Rim is part of a protected national park, and helicopters can’t land there. So, if setting foot on the canyon floor is on your bucket list, choose a West Rim floor landing tour.
Once your helicopter touches down on the canyon floor, you’ll step out into a world of red rock walls and the flowing Colorado River. Depending on your chosen tour, you might toast with champagne, take a short boat ride, or simply wander and take in the awe-inspiring scenery before your return flight.
Definitely. Families are welcome on these tours, and children often love the adventure. Kids under 8 years old or shorter than 4'9" will need a car or booster seat, and everyone must follow safety guidelines during the flight and landing.
Dress in comfortable, layered clothing and wear closed-toe shoes. It’s usually warmer on the canyon floor than at the rim, and you’ll want shoes with good grip for walking on rocky terrain. Sunglasses and a hat are great additions, especially for daytime flights.
Yes, all passengers go through a quick weight check at check-in to ensure safe weight distribution. Passengers weighing 300 lbs (136 kg) or more may need to purchase an extra seat, and large bags or backpacks aren’t permitted inside the helicopter.
