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...
Flyover Limo Strip
Need a flight that goes over the Canyon but packs a big punch? Consider the deluxe flyover option. It goes over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, the Colorado River and the Canyon. That's standard. What sets this tour apart is that includes limo hotel transfer and an extended tour over the Vegas Strip via the sexy EcoStar 130, the best flying machine in the air today. Learn more...
Vegas South Rim Xpress
Takes 5.5 hours to drive or bus it from Vegas to the South Rim. You got time for that? I know I don't, especially when you're looking at an 11-hour round trip! No, the best way is to take the Vegas express direct plane flight to the South Rim, which gets you there in 60 minutes. Remember: Vegas helicopters don't fly to the SR. So if you've got your heart set on this particular rim, this is the option for you. Read more...
50-Min. South Rim
Want to see more of the South Rim than anybody else? Book the 50-minute deluxe flyover tour. Incredibly, this flight lets you see up to 75 percent of the ENTIRE National Park! That's mind-blowing when you consider you're going to soar over more than 1-million acres of pristine wilderness. Further, you're going to do it in a state-of-art EcoStar 130, which boasts a 180-degree wraparound front windshield. Learn more...
Bottom Picnic Limo Strip
This is the perfect tour for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, proposal, honeymoon...basically any life moment that deserves a big to-do! This tour's hook is that it flies below the rim and lands at the bottom alongside the famous Colorado River. This is followed by a Champagne picnic and a flight over the dazzling Las Vegas Strip (from top to bottom...you see it all!). Topping it all off is the transfer to and from your hotel by black stretch limousine! Read more...
Skywalk Helicopter
The Skywalk is Las Vegas' #2 outdoor attraction after the Grand Canyon. So why not experience both while you're "rolling the bones" in Vegas? The Skywalk is an all-glass bridge that let's the intrepid amongst us walk 75 feet over the edge until they are standing a whopping 4K feet over the bottom. The views from the observation deck are incredible, especially the one of Eagle Point. There's also free shuttle-bus service from Eagle to Guano Point, which is where I recommend you enjoy the hot lunch that's included in the package. Learn more...
Top, Bottom, Boat & Skywalk
Are you an explorer? Do you want to see everything the Canyon has to offer? Take this tour. It starts with a helicopter descent to the bottom. You'll deplane and walk to the banks of the Colorado River and do a boat ride. Then it's back on the heli for a lift to the top and a walk on the Skywalk. You also have up to 2 hours to explore the top of the Rim, from Eagle Point to Guano Point. Lunch is included and so are VIP Skywalk tickets. Read more...
Bad Weather or Change of Plans?
Can't control Mother Nature. And life, well, it just happens. How does this affect helicopter travel. Sometimes bad weather cancels flights. But no worries on this front. First, winters here are mild and flight cancellations are super rare. But if there is one, you get a 100 percent money back refund. And, say, you get a new job or your sister has a baby and you have to scrap the trip out West altogether? Again, no worries. Just cancel 24 hours prior to flight time and it's all-money back.
