Grand Canyon Helicopters: Special Valentine's Day Holiday Tours (Feb. 14)

By Paulette Neary


Want to make Valentine's Day extra special? A helicopter tour at the Grand Canyon will make it one to remember for a lifetime. Romance and adventure are combined on these tours that depart from Las Vegas, and the Arizona South Rim.

Helicopter Tours Out Of Vegas

Vegas is already a special place to be, but you can make it even better with a helicopter tour. There are plenty of options available from the city, including air-only and landing flights.

Because it's Valentine's, I recommend the extra special bottom landing tour. This flight will take you inside the Canyon, where you can enjoy a Champagne picnic and even a boat ride on the Colorado River. You could even go to the top of the Canyon to experience the Skywalk.

Being on the Skywalk is a thrilling adventure. It is a huge bridge made of glass that juts beyond the edge of the rim, and you can walk out on it and stand 4000 feet above the Canyon floor and marvel at the fantastic view.

South Rim Flights

The South Rim is just as spectacular as the West Rim, but it's never as busy. If you want something a little more intimate and mysterious, then the South Rim is for you. The South Rim begins at Tusayan in Arizona. You can start right from there, or there are flights available from Vegas.

The South Rim has two tours available. The first tour last 30 minutes and flies to the North Rim and then circles back. However, there is a longer tour that is even better. The longer flight covers the same ground as the shorter tour and adds on all the land over to the eastern border. You'll get 50 minutes of air time, and during that time, you'll see around 75 percent of the entire park lands.

Upgrade to Deluxe

Basic tours are available all year round. They include a minibus shuttle service from your hotel. However if you really want to impress, then a deluxe tour is the way to go.

For starters, superior EcoStar 130 helicopters are used on the deluxe tours. Your flight will be much smoother on an EcoStar, plus the cabins are large and the seating is arrange stadium style for the best viewing. The best feature though, is the enormous windscreen that wraps around the aircraft giving you panoramic views of the scenery below.

To top things off, deluxe tours also include a limousine shuttle service. Why not treat your loved one to the complete experience?

Don't Miss Out!

Helicopter tours of the Canyon are very popular whether you leave from Vegas or Arizona, so you need to book your tour as soon as you can. Plan to buy your tour online with you credit card at least two weeks ahead of time. Buying your tour online is the easy and convenient way to lock in your tour, plus you'll get instant confirmation of your seats. Plus, you'll get the lowest prices online since you'll be able to bypass a booking agent.

Conclusion

There are few things that are more romantic than seeing one of the most beautiful spots on earth, from a helicopter, a riverboat, or an impressive platform like the Grand Canyon Skywalk. With a number of options to choose from, Grand Canyon sightseeing can also suit your budget.

So do something different and exciting this year for Valentine's Day. Buy your seats online and lock in your reservation by paying with your credit card, and you'll be set to spend the day with your loved one at one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. A helicopter tour is the perfect way to say 'I love you' on Valentine's Day.
