Nothing Can Match These Grand Canyon Airplane Tours

By Ione Mahler


Located in the state of Arizona this wide, deep chasm was formed by the waters of the Colorado River eroded the area over a three to six million year time span. Some dispute this, saying other forces of nature were at work. Regardless of how it was formed, it offers one of the world's greatest wonders that should be seen by Grand Canyon airplane tours.

There are tours that work out of Las Vegas, Nevada. One is the Grand Canyon Deluxe and the other is the Grand Discovery out of Arizona. Make plans upon arrival in Vegas to take part in one of these tours. Items such as cost, duration, and departure times will be discussed before you make a decision.

Vegas hotels work in conjunction with these tours for guests to be picked up and dropped off at their hotel. All passengers will be taken to a departure terminal and they will board the plane for a forty-five minute trip to the gorge. Unlike typical aircraft, windows are large to afford the best views and taking photos of the magnificent splendor of the sights below.

Eight hours is the duration of the deluxe expedition. Following the course of the Colorado River, you pass over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam that add to the sights to be seen. Multilingual narratives will be afforded the passengers. The Grand Canyon airport will be the destination of your flight to the majestic abyss.

Leaving the plane, you will board a tour bus that takes you to the South Rim. The best view to be had will be at Mather Point. From there you will continue to Bright Angel Lodge. You will be given time to enjoy the cuisine that is served at the restaurants. There are also many gift shops where you can purchase memorabilia of your trip. The price charged for this excursion is reasonable.

As with the deluxe tour there are no bad seats on the Grand Discovery tour. The length of time for this tour is just shy of one hour because this flight takes off and lands from the same place; the Grand Canyon Airport in Arizona. It was the first flight to be offered over this chasm. You will experience astounding views of the Painted Desert and the Navajo Indian Reservation among others.

It is the South Rim that offers the most awe-inspiring sights. It is here where the best photos of the canyon are taken. Yet even the best photos cannot capture the beauty that is seen by the human eye. For those wishing an even closer look, the Deluxe Tour can be upgraded to include a helicopter ride that will take you from one rim to the other and back.

The cost of these flights is minimal when compared to the sights you will behold. If anyone were to put a price on the views of this canyon it would be found to be priceless. Indulge yourself and make your trip to Vegas one that will be truly memorable. Book your flight today on the Grand Canyon airplane tours.
