Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour with Optional Hummer Excursion

See the Grand Canyon’s immense scale from above on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour departing near the South Rim. In a Bell helicopter, take in the canyon’s layered walls, the Colorado River winding far below, the Kaibab Forest, and views toward the North Rim. The flight lasts about 25–30 minutes, offering a sweeping perspective that’s difficult to appreciate from the rim alone.

For a closer look from the ground, choose the optional open-air Hummer excursion. A professional driver-guide takes you to multiple viewpoints along the canyon’s edge, where you can pause to admire the landscape from a different angle. The Hummer tour is not included unless you select that option.

Check in at the Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters terminal at Grand Canyon Airport 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. Passengers 18 and older need government-issued photo ID. From January 1, 2026, non-U.S. residents on commercial ground tours, including Hummer combos, must buy a $250 pass or pay $100 per adult; children 15 and under are free. Choose your preferred option and experience the Grand Canyon from both sky and rim.
