Want to do something fun and unique for Valentine's Day? A helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon would be a fantastic idea. These scenic flights combine romance and adventure, and you can take one that leaves from Vegas or one that leaves from Arizona near the South Rim.
Vegas Tours
Vegas is already a special place to be, but you can make it even better with a helicopter tour. There are plenty of options available from the city, including air-only and landing flights.
Because it's Valentine's, I recommend the extra special bottom landing tour. This flight will take you inside the Canyon, where you can enjoy a Champagne picnic and even a boat ride on the Colorado River. You could even go to the top of the Canyon to experience the Skywalk.
Being on the Skywalk is a thrilling adventure. It is a huge bridge made of glass that juts beyond the edge of the rim, and you can walk out on it and stand 4000 feet above the Canyon floor and marvel at the fantastic view.
South Rim Flights
You could visit the South Rim instead, and as an added bonus, it usually isn't as busy at the West Rim. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate experience at the Canyon, then going to the South Rim is the ideal choice. Flights over the South Rim depart from Tusayan in Arizona. If you're staying in Arizona, you can drive to Tusayan, but if you're staying in Vegas, you can get to Tusayan by adding a plane flight to your tour package.
There are two helicopter tours available. One is a 30 minute tour that goes all the way to the North Rim and back. The one I recommend is slightly longer. It includes the shorter tour, as well as a flight to the eastern park boundary. In 50 minutes, you will see around 75% of the Grand Canyon National Park.
Upgrade to Deluxe
Basic tours are available all year round. They include a minibus shuttle service from your hotel. However if you really want to impress, then a deluxe tour is the way to go.
For starters, superior EcoStar 130 helicopters are used on the deluxe tours. Your flight will be much smoother on an EcoStar, plus the cabins are large and the seating is arrange stadium style for the best viewing. The best feature though, is the enormous windscreen that wraps around the aircraft giving you panoramic views of the scenery below.
To top things off, deluxe tours also include a limousine shuttle service. Why not treat your loved one to the complete experience?
Book Your Flight In Advance
Tours from Las Vegas and Arizona are incredibly popular, so you will need to book soon. Book around two weeks ahead of the date that you want to fly, and book online, using your credit card. Booking online is not only convenient, but it will lock in your tickets and ensure that there's no disappointment on the day. Online deals are also discounted, because there are no additional fees from booking agents.
Conclusion
There are few things that are more romantic than seeing one of the most beautiful spots on earth, from a helicopter, a riverboat, or an impressive platform like the Grand Canyon Skywalk. With a number of options to choose from, Grand Canyon sightseeing can also suit your budget.
So do something different and exciting this year for Valentine's Day. Buy your seats online and lock in your reservation by paying with your credit card, and you'll be set to spend the day with your loved one at one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. A helicopter tour is the perfect way to say 'I love you' on Valentine's Day.
