This tour was not cheap but worth it. The flight over the dam and Grand Canyon was awesome. We landed at Grand Canyon west airport with just enough time to visit the gift shop but not enough time to do the Grand Canyon Sky Walk. I think it would be good to not land at the airport and do more flying in the Canyon. The boat ride was fantastic even though it was 114 deg F, the water was 40deg F and very refreshing. If it wasn't such a hot day I don't think I would have got into the river. Lunch was great with plenty of food and we got to take home the six pack cooler bag
Lesley the tour guide was amazing. She gave an informative talk that was peppered with the perfect amount of jokes. We would definitely do this again!
Both pilots, that of the helicopter and the raft trip were highly informative giving great reviews of the geology and history of the sites seen. The helicopter ride was unforgettable affording me and my wife the opportunity to see the land approaching and in the Grand Canyon in a way that can't be equaled. The raft trip was also fantastic, not only did we learn about the geology of the features along the Colorado river that we saw, but also we learned of the efforts that went into building the Hoover Dam. To top the trip off we got to see Mountain Goats and a Bald Eagle that was nesting along our route.
