A Guide to Grand Canyon Vacations
Grand Canyon Vacations
A Grand Canyon vacation is perfect for families, couples, and friends! There is truly something for everyone at this magical landmark of the American Southwest. At the Grand Canyon National Park (also known as the South Rim) one can hike, ride a mule, or see the widest and deepest regions of the canyon aboard an airplane or helicopter tour. The Grand Canyon West Rim is the home of the world-famous Skywalk Bridge and is also the only area of the canyon where helicopter tours can land on the very bottom next to the Colorado River.
You can also visit the Grand Canyon on a day trip from Las Vegas! Papillon's Grand Canyon helicopter tours and airplane tours can transport you from the Strip to the South Rim or West Rim and beyond. We offer a wide variety of Grand Canyon tours from Vegas and combination packages that you can experience in just a few hours or in an entire day.

We also offer Grand Canyon vacation packages from Las Vegas - some even land at the very bottom of the West Rim. You can also book combination vacation packages that include boat rides and entry onto the Skywalk Bridge.
So how do you decide the best way to experience the Grand Canyon? Here are our top suggestions for the most unique Grand Canyon activities:
Land at the Bottom of the Canyon
The Grand Canyon West is the only region of the Grand Canyon where you can easily access the canyon floor. You can board a Grand Canyon helicopter tour and land at the very bottom, right next to the Colorado River. Here you can enjoy a picnic and a champagne toast with plenty of opportunity for photos and exploring.
Grand Canyon Rafting
In this most comprehensive vacation package, you can fly from the Grand Canyon to Antelope Canyon to tour this world-famous slot canyon, then enjoy a smooth water rafting trip down over 15 miles of the Colorado River. You'll even see ancient petroglyphs and float through Horseshoe Bend!
Skywalk Bridge
This glass-bottomed bridge juts out over 70 feet past the edge of the canyon, allowing visitors to truly feel like they're standing on air! You can buy your own ticket to enter or include the Skywalk Bridge in your Grand Canyon helicopter tour with a combination vacation package.
