Are you trying to plan an exciting and romantic Valentine’s Day getaway? Then consider a Grand Canyon aerial tour, because it would be the ideal blend of beauty, wonder, and romance.

It’s easy to book one of these air tours because they depart from Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as an airport near the South Rim in Arizona.

You can choose to take the tour by plane or helicopter, but the best flights to the Grand Canyon are usually by helicopter because you have better views. Airplane tours are good too, and whether you choose a plane or helicopter tour, you’ll see some truly amazing scenery.

Tours departing from Las Vegas

Las Vegas helicopter tours depart from Boulder City or the Las Vegas Strip. These Grand Canyon flights can even land in the canyon, you can choose between an air-only or landing tour, with the landing tour being the most exciting.

There’s even a landing tour that comes with a romantic champagne picnic. It’s a great idea for a Valentine’s Day tour, and can even conclude with a relaxing boat ride on the calm waters of the Colorado River.

You can also choose between a standard or deluxe tour, and the deluxe tour offers nice perks, like conveniently getting off the Strip in Las Vegas. The deluxe tour is ideal if you’ll be staying in a Las Vegas hotel because it also includes free limousine transportation. Another perk of luxury tours is seeing Las Vegas from the air as your helicopter returns from the canyon.

Since these luxury tours use Eurocopter EC130 helicopters, your trip will also be more pleasant. These helicopters offer fantastic views from their oversized windows, plus the ride is comfortable thanks to plush seats and improved aerodynamics.

Tours departing from Arizona

Tours that depart from the South Rim in Arizona come in two varieties, a half-hour tour and one that gives you fifty minutes of airtime. While both tours are fantastic, the longer tour is better because you get to see so much more. The longest drive is so comprehensive that you can see about 80 percent of the National Park when you’re done.

One thing to remember about South Rim tours is that they do not land in the canyon, they are air only, so if you want to take a landing tour, plan to depart from Las Vegas.

tour by plane

If you want to take a tour by plane, you can depart from Las Vegas or the South Rim. Airline tours leaving from Las Vegas have landing options, and one fun thing to try is walking on the glass Skywalk that allows you to look down into the canyon floor below you. This tour is a great way for romantic adventure seekers to enjoy a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Airplane tours of the South Rim of Las Vegas are also a lot of fun because you can book a package that includes a half-hour helicopter tour of the rim along with a 2-hour bus tour of the park.
