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 tours from Las Vegas & South Rim...
Deluxe Tours
Tis the season...to take a deluxe helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon! Folks, skip the basic stuff this Xmas holiday. Go large. Do one of these elite flights that use the best choppers. And the perks? Incredible! Like limousine hotel pick and drop off and a Vegas Strip flyover. Learn more...
Bottom Champagne Picnic
The most awesome thing you can do this winter while visiting Las Vegas? Take a heli ride to the bottom. But it doesn't end there because when you exit your chariot you'll be treated to a Champagne picnic. Is there a more incredible way to experience the Canyon? I don't think so! Read more...
Sunset Helicopter
During the winter months the days are shorter, which means you can now take a SUNSET tour that lifts off sometime around 2:30 p.m. What I like about this is that you are back on the ground and in Vegas in time for some fine dining and a wallop of a live show. But book this one fast as there's only one departure time per day. Learn more...
Deluxe South Rim Flight
The South Rim during winter is a sight to behold and...experience. Especially from above in a helicopter. I heartily recommend the 50-minute extended tour in this case as you'll see most of the Park in under an hour! It seems improbable but it's true. P.S. It's been a mild winter so far and I expect it to stay that way so you're in for some incredible views. Read more...
Weight Limits & Window Seats
The holidays are upon us. I don't know about you but I've packed on a few extra pounds. If you're like me, you might need to brush up on weight requirements and surcharges as you book or prepare to check in for your flight. And then there's the issue of window seats...I explain who gets one and how. Learn more...
Bottom, Top, Boat & Skywalk
Ready to own the Grand Canyon in a day? Try the 4-in-1 tour. It's the only way to do top and bottom in one trip. And at the bottom, you get to do a boat ride down the majestic Colorado River. On top, you're a VIP on the Skywalk. Can you squeeze more into your day? Sure. Just make sure you hit the buffet the day before because you'll need the energy. Read more...
Best Flight Times
Is there a best day to fly? Is there a best time to fly? Great questions. As for day, not really. All days are equal. And you'll find that prices are the same, too, unless you heed my advice and book your tour in advance and online and avoid locking in your seats 24 hours prior to flight time. As for best time to fly, yes, there is. And I answer that question in this article. Learn more...
