About this tour
Take to the skies for a fresh perspective on the Grand Canyon’s vast, sculpted landscape. This 40-minute Grand Canyon airplane tour departs from the South Rim and flies over the eastern canyon, where broad windows make it easy to admire the scenery and capture photos.
Look for landmarks including Zuni Point and Imperial Point, with views extending toward the Painted Desert and Kaibab National Forest. In-flight narration shares historical insights and facts as you take in the canyon from above. Choose a morning or afternoon flight, then make the experience longer with an optional 2-hour ride in a customized open-air Hummer. The ground tour visits several well-known viewpoints along the rim.
The Grand Canyon airplane tour offers a memorable overview of the park in a short time, while the Hummer upgrade adds a closer look from the ground. Choose your preferred flight time and upgrade to see the canyon from both perspectives.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.64 from 383 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Grand Canyon National Park
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.8.
