It's Spring Break season again, and that means it's time for a well deserved getaway to soak up some fun and good weather. If you want to do something other than lay on a beach this year, then think about going to the Grand Canyon and taking a helicopter tour. You can take one of these tour out of Las Vegas or from Arizona. The tours that depart from Vegas offer tours of the West Rim, while the Arizona tours all go to the South Rim. If you will be spending Spring Break in Vegas and want to see the North, South, and East Rims of the Grand Canyon, then you'll need to buy a tour package that includes a plane flight to the South Rim where you can transfer to a chopper for the rest of the tour. Las Vegas Air Tours The Grand Canyon helicopters that fly out of Vegas also pass over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. That's adds an extra bonus to your Grand Canyon air tour. The Las Vegas air tours are also available in air-only or landing versions. The landing tours are a lot of fun, especially the ones that descend into the canyon and land at the bottom. On the floor of the canyon, you can enjoy a champagne picnic near the Colorado River. The landing tours come with optional upgrades too, such as a boat ride along the river that allows you to see the beautiful rock walls and formations along the river basin. Some of the landing tours set down on top of the rim instead, so you can visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The Skywalk is a glass bridge that allows you to walk out over the canyon and look down 4000 feet to the ground below you. The Arizona Air Tours If you want to take a helicopter tour of the South Rim, the helicopter portion of your tour will begin at the South Rim, even if you depart from Vegas. The basic tour goes from there to the North Rim and back. The tour includes thirty minutes of air time and lets you see some spectacular scenery. You can't take a landing tour at the South Rim, but the tours there are still worth doing. The deluxe tour that lasts fifty minutes covers 75 percent of the entire Grand Canyon National Park. You'll see all the land between the South and North Rim and all the way to the eastern border of the park. If you take this fun air tour over Spring Break, you'll get to see more of the Grand Canyon in an hour than most people will see in their whole lives. If you'd like something a little different, you can book a South Rim tour that includes a half hour helicopter tour with a two hour Jeep ride through the canyon. It's really fun because you can see famous landmarks from the air and from the ground too. Book Your Helicopter Tour Early Spring Break is a popular travel time, so you should expect Grand Canyon tours to sell out fast. Try to buy your tour at least two weeks ahead of time and even more than that if you can. In fact, you might as well buy your helicopter tour right after you book your hotel room, so you don't forget. Booking your tour online is the way to go because it is so convenient, and it allows you to see all the available options in one place. Plus, when you buy your tour online from the tour operator's website, you can avoid paying a travel agent, and that means you'll get the lowest price possible. To Conclude Hopefully, this article will give you some ideas for your trip to the Grand Canyon over Spring Break. Touring by helicopter is the ultimate adventure experience. If you want even more adventure, add a landing tour to a West Rim trip or a Jeep excursion to a South Rim tour. Don't forget to book your seats as early as you can. Spring Break is underway and tickets are already being sold, so book now and get the tour you want.
