Take off from Las Vegas for the adventure of a lifetime with the spectacular Grand Canyon celebration helicopter tour. Soar over the Mojave Desert, the Hoover Dam, the Grand Wash Cliffs and Grapevine Mesa on the way to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon and descend to the canyon floor, where you will land and be able to explore the gorge. Then cap it all off with a champagne picnic served under an authentic Native American ramada.

Fly out from Las Vegas aboard a luxurious EC-130 Helicopter with wraparound windows to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is renowned for its spectacular red rock formations. The rim has a number of outstanding features that have made it one of the most popular areas. Among the many landmarks are Eagle Point, Guano Point and a village where members of the Hualapai Native American tribe still live in their ancestral lands.

Your helicopter will gently descend more than 1,200 metres (4,000ft) below the rim to the canyon floor and touch down on a plateau overlooking the majestic Colorado River, where you will be able to appreciate just how deep the gorge is as you find yourself dwarfed by its sheer scale. Look up in awe at the layers of limestone, each a different shade of ochre.

Explore the lands of the Native American Hualapai, which has lived here for hundreds of years and enjoy an unforgettable champagne picnic with refreshments served under an authentic ramada.
