Visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience this stunning landscape from a totally different perspective - from the sky! Start your day by making your way to the Grand Canyon National Park Airport, where you can climb aboard a spacious sightseeing aeroplane and listen as the pilot revs the engine to life. Set off down the runway and takeoff into the skies above the Grand Canyon, where sweeping views of this incredible landscape will immediately come into view.
Your aeroplane will soar over the majestic Grand Canyon, where you'll see aerial sights of both the North and South Rim from the comfortable seat of a high-flying aircraft. Snap photos of the Kaibab National Forest and the Colorado River and listen to intriguing commentary from your experienced pilot and guide.
Your pilot will point fascinating sights and rock formations including the wooded hills of the Kaibab National Forest and Plateau, the rugged peak of Point Imperial - the highest point of the North Rim at 8,803 feet (2,683 m), and Zuni Point Corridor. Look for the winding waters of the Colorado River below you as they reflect the sun's light. With oversized windows ideal for photography and knowledgeable pilot to point out every breathtaking sight, this is truly the best way to experience the Grand Canyon from the air.
Optional Hummer Tour:
Continue your sightseeing adventure with a ground tour through Grand Canyon National Park. You'll ride in a customised, open-air military vehicle redesigned specifically for sightseeing. Your Hummer will set off on a scenic drive through the park and will make several stops at scenic lookout points. Possible canyon overlooks may include Duck on a Rock, Yavapai Point, and Moran Point, where you'll have time to explore and take photos at each.
