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.

Which seat do I get?

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
