Are you trying to plan a Valentine’s getaway that is exciting and romantic? Then consider an aerial tour of the Grand Canyon, because it would be the ideal combination of beauty, wonder, and romance.
It’s easy to book one of these air tours because they depart from Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as from an airport near the South Rim in Arizona.
You can choose to go by plane or helicopter, but the best Grand Canyon flights are usually the ones by helicopter because you have better views. Airplane tours are good too, and whether you choose a plane or helicopter tour, you will see some truly amazing scenery.
Tours departing from Las Vegas
Las Vegas helicopter tours depart from Boulder City or the Vegas Strip. These Grand Canyon flights can even land in the canyon, you can choose between a landing tour or just by air, with the landing tour being the most exciting.
There’s even a landing tour that comes with a romantic champagne picnic. It’s a great idea for a Valentine’s Day tour, and it can even conclude with a relaxing boat ride on the calm waters of the Colorado River.
You can also choose from a standard or deluxe tour, with the deluxe tour offering nice perks, like getting off the Las Vegas Strip in comfort. The Deluxe Tour is ideal if you are staying at a Las Vegas hotel because it also includes free limousine transportation. Another benefit of luxury tours is being able to see Las Vegas from the air as your helicopter returns from the canyon.
Since these luxury tours use Eurocopter EC130 helicopters, your trip will also be more enjoyable. These helicopters offer fantastic views from their oversized windows, plus the ride is comfortable thanks to luxurious seats and improved aerodynamics.
Tours Leaving Arizona
Tours that depart from the South Rim in Arizona come in two varieties, a half-hour tour and another that gives you fifty minutes of airtime. While both tours are great, the longer tour is better because you can see so much more. The longest tour is so comprehensive that you can see about 80 percent of the National Park when you finish.
One thing to remember about tours of the South Rim is that they do not land in the canyon, they are only by air, so if you want to take a landing tour, plan to leave Las Vegas.
Travel by airplane
If you want to take a plane tour, you can depart from Las Vegas or the South Rim. Airplane tours departing from Las Vegas have landing options, and a fun thing to try is walking the glass Skywalk that allows you to look down into the canyon floor below you. This tour is a great way for romantic adventure seekers to enjoy a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Vegas South Rim Air Tours are also a lot of fun because you can book a package that includes a half-hour helicopter tour of the rim along with a 2-hour bus tour of the park.
