Discover the Grand Canyon above and below the rim with a helicopter flight, boat ride, and admission to the world-famous Skywalk Bridge. This adventure departs from our state-of-the-art air terminal in Boulder City. Enjoy aerial views of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, and the Mojave Desert from the window of your helicopter as you approach the Grand Canyon West.

After experiencing the canyon's sights from below, board the helicopter to ride back to the rim and view the landscape from the surface.
