My husband and I were in town for our 1 year anniversary ... we landed down by the river and had the champagne and it was the most beautiful scenery and sights we have seen. We had the best pilot, I'm thinking it was Mitch . He was so knowledgeable and had a great personality and even had great music. This was a really great tour and would highly recommend for a lifetime memory.

What an amazing trip this was. Our guide Gia was sooooo knowledgeable and such good fun. The Canyon itself was simply WOW. We did the sky walk and decided to add the helicopter and boat to our day and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. We will absolutely be back to Vegas and will use this company again.

Why go on a West Rim helicopter tour

1/5

Land on the canyon floor

Helicopters at the West Rim have exclusive permission to land 3,500 feet below the rim, right on the canyon floor. Step out among towering red walls, feel the desert air, and capture rare perspectives that no other rim allows.

See the Skywalk from above before you walk it

A helicopter tour lets you soar directly over the iconic Skywalk, the horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extending over the edge of the canyon. It’s a stunning bird’s-eye preview before you step onto it yourself.

Enjoy unbeatable proximity to Las Vegas

The West Rim is the closest part of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, just a short flight away. Most tours depart straight from the city or nearby Boulder City, making it the perfect half-day escape filled with big views and zero driving.

Fly over legendary landmarks en route

The journey is as breathtaking as the destination. Your flight path typically includes Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River, giving you a front-row seat to Nevada and Arizona’s most famous landscapes.

Experience Hualapai land from a new perspective

The West Rim sits on the ancestral lands of the Hualapai Tribe, and helicopter tours often include stories or add-ons that share their cultural connection to the canyon. This offers a deeper appreciation of the land you’re flying over.

Many tours offer a luxury experience with a champagne toast or picnic at the canyon floor.

Board calmly and respectfully: Wait for your turn to board the helicopter and follow the ground crew's instructions for a smooth departure. Avoid rushing, and do the same while deboarding after your flight.
