Papillon's longest Grand Canyon helicopter tour departs from the Grand Canyon National Park. You'll lift off from the nearby air terminal and soar over the most impressive regions of the Grand Canyon South Rim, including the widest and deepest sections. You'll see ancient rock formations - the oldest exposed geology known to man - and see the roaring Colorado River beneath you. You'll pass the Eastern region of the canyon for unparalleled views of the rock walls. As you reach the Grand Canyon North Rim, you'll fly over the lush greenery of the Kaibab Forest.

Your Grand Canyon tour takes place aboard an EcoStar helicopter, which offers comfortable seating, headset communications, and oversized windows for the best photography opportunities. The aircraft also features quiet technology, which preserves the natural soundscape of the Grand Canyon National Park and causes no disruption to the local wildlife.
