As a family of five, and having done helicopter tours before in New Zealand, we were initially hesitant to take the 45-minute tour, as it was the only option available since we were booking last minute. However, at only $20 more per person, we went for it and am so glad we did it! I don’t think the shorter tour would have done it justice. After the morning trek along the South Rim Trail in the Park, the helicopter tour really helped put the expanse of the park into perspective. Our teenagers and 10yo loved the tour and BJ, the pilot, provided great narrative and music along the way. Lots of photo and video opportunities before, during, and after the helicopter ride. The helicopter was new and comfortable, and all of us got great views. Thanks for a memorable experience!
