It's a tricky topic but if you weigh more than the threshold, you'll have to pay an additional fee on top of what you're paying for your tour. I've had lots of folks try to negotiate this surcharge or have it waived. Unfortunately, in the 10+ years that I've been involved with helicopter tours, this has never happened. It's safe to assume it never will. That said, there are a few tips to consider when getting socked by this penaly. Get details here...

You can only land on the bottom from Las Vegas. Such flights are NOT available from the South Rim, where they are banned by the National Park Service. Bottom landings go over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Colorado before landing at the base. They can be upgraded with a Colorado River boat trip and a trip to the top that includes the Skywalk.

Visiting Arizona and want to do the Grand Canyon? Then you've got to try a South Rim helicopter tour. These trips depart from Tusayan, AZ, which is right outside the front gates to the National Park and a one-hour drive from Williams and Flagstaff. There are on landing tours here. Just aerial trips, and they range from 30-minutes to 50-minutes. Go here for the Top 3...
