Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the helicopter ride from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon?

What is the best Grand Canyon helicopter tour from Las Vegas?

The Wind Dancer tour is the strongest option available. It covers the full canyon flight at low altitude with a canyon-floor landing, a longer ground experience than fly-over-only tours, and a total runtime of about four hours. For most visitors, the landing component is what separates it from a shorter scenic flight.

Is a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon worth it?

Yes. The canyon covers 277 miles and drops over a mile in depth. Hiking and driving give you partial views from the rim, but a helicopter gives you the full scale from above and the canyon floor perspective during the landing. For most visitors, it is the most visually distinctive experience of a Las Vegas trip.

Can I take a Grand Canyon helicopter tour while pregnant?

Pregnant passengers are not permitted on the Wind Dancer helicopter tour. This is a standard safety restriction across all Grand Canyon helicopter operators. If you are traveling with someone who is pregnant, plan for an alternative Grand Canyon experience such as a ground tour or rim visit.

Can I bring a beverage on the flight?

Guests are allowed to bring bottled water on the flight. All other beverages are not permitted in the helicopters.

Can my child sit on my lap?

Children over the age of 2 years are required to have their own seat. Children under 2 years must have proof of age (passport or birth certificate) to be considered a lap child.

What should I bring?

• ID: A valid photo ID is required for all passengers 18 and older.
• Clothing: Weather changes quickly in the canyon. Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.
• Camera: The photo opportunities are significant, so bring a charged device and extra storage.
