Grand Canyon Ground & Helicopter Tours
Romantic, awe-inspiring, and fascinating all describe a Grand Canyon air and ground tour hosted by Papillon Helicopters, award-winning sightseeing experts.
During this combination Grand Canyon helicopter and jeep tour you’ll depart from the Canyon’s South Rim aboard a helicopter equipped with specially-designed windows, which offer passengers unobstructed views of the breathtaking landscapes. In-flight narration reveals the geological mysteries carved by the forces of nature millions of years ago. It is an amazing story.
Your helicopter glides over the Dragon Corridor, the North Canyon’s widest and deepest point, and the Tower of Ra, an imposing butte named for the Egyptian sun god.
Upon landing, you’ll begin your guided off-road Jeep adventure through the Kaibab National Forest, whose beauty has earned it a National Forest Scenic Byway designation. Intriguing, too, is the Kaibab Plateau, which means “mountain lying down” in the Paiute Indian language. Be prepared for the desert wildlife who make the forest home.
Your three-hour excursion is timed for your arrival at the viewpoint, just as the colors from the setting sun bathe the Canyon’s changing rainbow of hues-from subtle shades of red to brilliant orange. The layered rock formations are even more vibrant in the waning daylight. There is time to reflect on the scene’s peace and tranquility.
As you travel to your waiting helicopter and the return trip to the South Rim, you can savor this memorable afternoon at the Grand Canyon. |
