We got ours from the airport in Vegas, the alternative company bussed you to Boulder City and flew from there. I am pretty sure you cant fly from the canyon itself :think . We landed at a mock up outpost for an hour but you could not start from there.

We did our helicopter tour with Papillon............I was sooooo scared, but have to say it will continue to be one of the most amazing times of my life!!!!

Oh I love to do that trip, but doubt if I'll ever get over there as not keen on long haul flights. :(

If you dont want to do the trip there is an Omax theatre in Canyon Village and the presentation is so realistic I felt travel sickness!
I really felt as if I was in the canyon travelling along the river. :rofl

Hello

Thankyou

We drove there, it is about 250 miles to the South Rim. The roads are straight and very boring.

My brother and SIL did a bus tour and they booked it just the day before at one of the ticket places on the strip. I don't know how much it cost, but it was in 2009, so may be outdated if I did ask them.

We used MAVERICK they were fantastic, after the champagne in the grand canyon, we went rafting down the colorado river, excellent company and huge helicopters.
