Keith Kravitz' Grand Canyon Tours
This Week's Hot Tours...
Hey it's Keith Kravitz and here's a list of what's hot when it comes to Grand Canyon helicopter tours from Las Vegas & South Rim...
Luxury Tours
There are basic tours and then there are deluxe tours. The later come with perks that discerning travelers have come to love and appreciate, like limousine shuttles, extended flights over the Vegas Strip and use of the superior EcoStar 130 helicopter (theater-style seats, 180-wraparound windshield, incredible A/C). Ready to take your travel game to the next level? Go here…
Champagne Picnic - 3 Options 
What? A picnic at the bottom of the Grand Canyon? Yes! And there's not one, not two but three options available. It’s an incredible tour that starts with a heart-pounding 3,500-foot descent to the bottom followed by clanking glasses and drinking “bubbles” alongside the mythical Colorado River. Details here...
The 4-In-1 
The MEGA tour just made you're life a whole lot more interesting. It’s comprised of every activity and adventure that is humanely possible to do within 8 hours at the Canyon. I'm talking about landing on the bottom. Doing a Colorado River boat ride. Strolling down the Skywalk. There’s even time for a leisurely lunch on a bluff overlooking the gorge itself. Learn more...
Heli Rafting
The window is closing on this tour. There’s just 2.5 months left in the rafting season and then you’ve got to wait until March 2017. So if you fancy a heli ride to the bottom of the West Rim topped with a 11-mile float down the flowing Colorado River, this is the package for you. Don't wait until the last minute. Everyone else is in on this little secret, too. Details here...
RSVP - Do It!
Summer is full of travelers who call and want to do a heli tour within 72 hours of flight time. Or worse: 24 hours. Or worse-worse: Same day! My God, it's a difficult request and we do our best to get everyone and his brother airborne. But seriously, we can only do so much with little to ZERO advance notice. So, if you want the perfect tour at the best price, you've got to RSVP. Here's why...
South Rim Airplane from Vegas
Folks, Vegas helicopters don't go to the South Rim. It's too far. Sure, you can opt to take a bus tour or drive a rental car, but you'll spend a total of 11+ hours on the road just to spend a couple hours at the Canyon. Hmmm...I don't know about you but that's not for me. Instead, take the direct airplane flight from Vegas and get to the South Rim in 60 minutes. Read more...
Top 3 South Rim Heli
Looking for Tusayan, South Rim, Grand Canyon, AZ, National Park airport heli rides? You're in the right place. South Rim tours are air-only (no landing – you want that you have to go to Vegas). To make life a lot easier, I put together a list of the Top 3 South Rim packages. Give it a gander. I'm confident one of these will perfectly fit your budget and timeframe. Details here...
