What’s Included in Your Las Vegas to Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour Cost

As the leading Grand Canyon helicopter tour company, we build helicopter trips that offer maximum value and fun for our customers.

If you are coming to the Grand Canyon West from Las Vegas, Papillon will supply ground transportation to our terminal and Grand Canyon West entrance fees. Some packages include a combination of a flight over the Las Vegas strip and time on the ground at Grand Canyon. Others touch down at our exclusive landing site 3,200 feet below the rim of the Grand Canyon at Grand Canyon West where you’ll enjoy champagne, a light picnic, and time to explore the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Other West Rim packages include entry to walk on the world-renowned glass bridge, the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

If your tour starts at the Grand Canyon National Park airport, you’ll fly over a massive swath of both the South Rim and North Rim, seeing so much more that if you were to pay to visit the park on foot!

Many of our combination tour packages, including our Hummer, hiking, and ATV ground tours, include transportation, meals, and many other fabulous amenities. The bottom line is that Papillon has you covered!

Grand Canyon Helicopter Cost FAQs

How much does it cost to ride a helicopter in the Grand Canyon?

  • The price range to fly in a helicopter from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon varies. In general packages range from about $400 to up to about $750 and these packages include more than just the flight; they also take into account ground transport, entrance fees, and extra activities. If guests only have a few free hours, Papillon offers the Golden Eagle Air Tour which takes guests from Las Vegas to the West Rim on a compact, 3.5- hour round trip adventure. For more comprehensive experiences, packages such as the Skywalk Getaway With Heli and Boat  which includes a helicopter landing on canyon floor bottom, a pontoon boat float on the Colorado River, and VIP access to the world-famous Grand Canyon Skywalk.

How long does it take to get to the Grand Canyon by helicopter?

  • Papillon flies daily helicopter tours from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West Rim. That 130-mile trip takes approximately 45 minutes. The South Rim, where Grand Canyon National Park is headquartered, is a bit further away, about a  1 hours and 15-minute trip, and requires transport on a sightseeing aircraft from Las Vegas.

Is it free to visit the Grand Canyon?

  • No. Both the National Park Service, which administers the South and North Rim, and the Hualapai Tribe, which owns and operates the West Rim, charges entrance fees. At the West Rim, if you are not booking a tour through Papillon, you’ll pay a stand-alone entry fee to enter the West Rim. Since the West Rim is not inside the Grand Canyon National Park, all visitors must pay the fee and National Park passes are not valid. Current fees are listed here. Admission to Grand Canyon National Park is for seven days and includes both the North Rim and South Rim. Current fees are listed here.

Which is the best helicopter tour in the Grand Canyon?

  • Papillon Helicopters provides the best Grand Canyon helicopter tours available in the region. We offer several different types of tours. Some of them can be found in Las Vegas, while others are located in Boulder City and the Grand Canyon South Rim. Passengers can choose between various routes that take them to multiple points in and around this area of Arizona's natural wonderland. The most popular tours depart from Las Vegas and flies to the Canyon's West Rim. The West Rim Tour takes passengers over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead before landing on top of a mountain on the west side of Grand Canyon National Park.

What are the benefits of a discounted tour to the Grand Canyon?

  • Papillon offers all-inclusive pricing for all Grand Canyon tours. This means all online prices include taxes. So, there are no hidden fees. What you see is what you pay for. No “convenience fee” or “booking fee”, just great prices. Want to speak with a human to book your tour? We don’t believe in charging extra for phone reservations.

Which cheap Grand Canyon helicopter tour is best?

  • With decades of experience, all Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopter Grand Canyon tours will offer you unbeatable aerial views from one of the most reputable tour companies in the entire world. We’re the world’s largest Grand Canyon sightseeing tour for a reason. We offer premier services at the best price. All of our aircraft are designed for a superior sightseeing experience and we know Grand Canyon National Park like no other operator! Discover our very best helicopter tours departing from Las Vegas or Grand Canyon.

Is a Grand Canyon helicopter tour worth it?

  • Yes! Flying with Papillon on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour makes your trip to this natural wonder even more spectacular. Sure, it’s awe-inspiring to stand at the edge of the edge, but you'll only truly get a perspective on how enormous the Grand Canyon is when flying above it. With Papillon’s wide array of Grand Canyon tours you can land 4,000 feet below the rim of the canyon, soar over the Dragon Corridor, the widest and deepest part of the Grand Canyon, stroll across the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk, or take the road less traveled to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in style aboard your VIP helicopter!

Are helicopter tours worth the money?

  • A helicopter tour is the perfect way to make memories that last a lifetime during your Grand Canyon or Las Vegas vacation. There's nothing quite like a Las Vegas helicopter flight that soars just above the neon lights at night or a Grand Canyon bird's eye flight thousands of feet above the Colorado River. A helicopter flight also acts as a time machine, allowing you to see more of the massive canyon in less time.
