Not many days left for Memorial Day. As you are anyway spending your holidays in Las Vegas, it's better you work at making your vacation as unique and remarkable as possible. Grand Canyon air journeys are the best means of touring the city and with so many flight options to choose from, you are sure to find something fitting your finances and wants.
Tips from Vegas
There are two kinds of journeys from Vegas. These two types of tours are flyover and landing tours. As all trips follow the same route out to the Grand Canyon, you can choose any tour.This indicates that your journey will include flying over the magnificent Hoover Dam and the Lake Mead reservoir. On reaching the Canyon, the trip operator will conduct some attractive moves before going back to Vegas.Your trip includes your being set down at Canyon's top or bottom if you try out the landing journey.
Tourists not only love the bottom landing tour, it is also my most-loved attraction. You will enjoy the champagne picnic you can have on alighting from the helicopter after landing near the Colorado River. To get the most from the bottom landing tour, you need to reserve a boat trip where you can take a look at the Canyon with a completely new outlook.
Of course, the top landing trips are also wonderful with its various trekking routes and observation spots atop the West Rim. The Grand Canyon skywalk is also a very famous place of interest. This platform has a transparent floor, which will give you the ultimate thrill as you stand 70ft from the rim, and 4000ft from the bottom of the Canyon. It's the perfect spot to have your photo taken by one of the official park photographers.
South Rim
You have to take a short air trip spanning an hour to reach South Rim, which is in adjacent Arizona, from Las Vegas. The 50 minute helicopter flight at the South Rim takes you across the North and South Rims and the park's eastern part's limits. As a car or tour bus ride from Vegas to South Rim takes 5.5 hours, it is better to take the flight than driving if you want to visit the South Rim.
Booking Deluxe Tours
While making ticket reservations, you have to select between basic and exclusive. As there is only a small difference in ticket rates I always advise the exclusive as it also gives a beautiful experience. The modified EcoStar 130 helicopter for sightseeing is used on exclusive trips. Not only is its viewing window bigger than any other helicopter's, it has enormous seats set in a stadium layout to ensure no one's view is blocked. With its included limousine commute service, the exclusive tours add more value to the already exclusive tour bundle.
Judgement
As a last word, make sure that you book your tickets soon. I recommend that bookings are made no later than two weeks before you intend to fly. You don't want to miss your tickets with Memorial Day and its peripheral days being so busy. For confirmed seat reservations, use your credit cards while making convenient online bookings. Online bookings also assure you premium prices.
It's going to be hot at Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, so don't forget to bring a pack with sunblock, bottled water, some snacks, and some light clothing that will cover your arms. Choose your date and your tour package, and get ready for one of the best adventures available anywhere in North America.
