The West Rim is the region of the Grand Canyon that is nearest to Las Vegas. In fact, a helicopter can reach the West Rim in just over an hour. Once at the Grand Canyon West, you can explore the stunning rock formations and capture more sights of the splendid sandstone walls of the canyon. The West Rim offers a unique experience in that it is the home of the Skywalk Bridge and the only region of the canyon where a helicopter can land on the very bottom. 

Our state-of-the-art helicopters are designed with sightseeing in mind, with onboard upgrades developed and patented by Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters. The oversized windows offer panoramic views of the desert scenery and the Colorado River below you and are perfect for taking professional looking photos of the Grand Canyon. The plush seats and air conditioning add further comfort during your journey. You’ll also have access to headsets for communication between passengers and your pilot. In you want to travel to the Grand Canyon like a celebrity, a West Rim luxury helicopter tour is the most exciting way to start your adventure. 

The Grand Canyon West is the only area of the park where helicopters are able to land at the very bottom. The Grand Celebration helicopter tour sets off from the Las Vegas area and travels over the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River. Upon arrival to the West Rim, your helicopter will descend 3,200 feet between the canyon walls and land on the floor near the Colorado River. You’ll have plenty of time to explore, take pictures, and enjoy a champagne toast amidst the most beautiful scenery in the United States. You also have the option to privatize your tour for just your party and add a flight over the Las Vegas Strip. 

The most famous attraction at the Grand Canyon West is the Skywalk Bridge – a glass-bottomed platform that extends 70 feet over the edge of the canyon rim. The Skywalk Getaway with Heli and Boat tour offers a truly all-encompassing experience at the West Rim. Not only will you receive entry onto the Skywalk, you’ll also land at the very bottom of the Grand Canyon and enjoy a smooth water pontoon boat ride between the canyon walls.
