Some of the deals I'm seeing on Grand Canyon helicopter tours are surprising even me and I've been involved with them for years I don't even know where travelers find some of these rates. Heck, I'm not sure they're real. But I do sense that companies out there are getting really creative when it comes to air-tour pricing and that's where I think I can shed some light on the matter. Case in point is a gentleman I recently helped. He called up asking me to match a price he found somewhere on Las Vegas Strip helicopter tours. I heard him out, wondering where in the world did he get it so cheap. Then it came out. He had found a 'blue-light special' rate. Just like K-Mart. K-Mart would push a shopping cart to the front of the store full of out-of-date odds and ends, turn on a blue light, and announce their 'blue-light specials' to the store. It worked very well. Customers couldn't resist. However, there is something important to remember. The reason behind it was to move old stock out of the store. So they slashed the prices very low. It was an excellent move. There was no concern over quality so many times people weren't really happy with what they bough. Most of the time the stuff broke or was good for few turns and that was it. So think about that. Over time, if you shopped and lived like this, good chance that cheap and fair would cost the same. What's that got to do with Grand Canyon air tours? It means you should question any helicopter tour that offers a super low price. For one thing, it is probably a bare bones tour. Meaning it comes with nothing. Compare that to the price of a quality tour from a reputable operator that includes surcharges, fees, taxes, lunch, and even free shuttle transportation. Like many, I used to chase down any deal that saved me a few bucks. Over time, I've learned to restrain myself. It is better to shop for a fair deal rather than a low price. This type of offer means getting all the extras plus a cancellation policy wherein you don't have to arm-wrestle some person in customer service to get your money back. As for the tours themselves, there are two kinds: Aerial and landing. If you have limited time, then choose the air-only tour. These trips, too, are also the cheapest (you're looking around $230 per person at the time this article was written). However, if you can afford it, by all means book a landing tour. Summary If you want a more personal experience of the Grand Canyon, take a landing tour. Las Vegas has the best of the bunch, with the one that lands at the bottom being by far the most popular. The helicopter descent into the canyon is a thrilling ride! You'll love it. There are so many things to do, you will find a tour perfect for you, just remember to be careful when you start comparing tour prices. Tips from the Author See the Grand Canyon!
