We signed up for the 45 minute helicopter flight. Unfortunately, the winds were dangerous that day and they could not take us into certain parts of the canyon where the winds were the worst. We did get a 30 minute helicopter ride into the canyon though and it was well worth it. The views were spectacular and I think you get a better perspective of the depth and width of the canyon. Our pilot was very good at pointing out all of the areas and giving us canyon history and information on the layers. Did not regret one bit of it!

This is money well spent to enhance your experience of Grand Canyon. It is not instead of visiting the Canyon - the helicopter tour complements what you see when you visit the South Rim. Don't be afraid. It is awesome to fly there in the helicopter, and the pilots make you feel in safe hands.
