The aircraft

The helicopter for this tour is the Airbus EC130 EcoStar.

Sightseeing is the only job this aircraft does. The Airbus EC130 EcoStar was built for it — and on this tour it is the only aircraft you can be assigned.

What this means

Some canyon tours are sold without naming the aircraft, and guests find out at the terminal that they are flying a smaller machine with a different cabin layout. On this tour there is one aircraft type and no substitution — if we cannot fly you on an EC130, we do not fly you, and you are rebooked or refunded.

Optional upgrade

Request a Front Seat on your Helicopter Tour
