Vegas Grand Canyon Chopper Tours For Valentine's (Feb. 14) Travelers

By Ione Mahler


Valentine's Day is on February 14th and it will soon be here. Do you have something special planned? For a fun and adventurous way to celebrate, you should take a trip to Vegas and include a Grand Canyon tour. However, keep in mind, Valentine's Day is a busy time, so you'll need to book your tour as soon as possible to lock in your seats and get a good deal.

Tours From Vegas

One of the fun things about taking a helicopter tour to the Canyon out of Vegas is that you get to fly over the massive Hoover Dam and scenic Lake Mead. It's a great way to prepare for the exciting sights ahead. You can choose air-only tours, or tours that land at the top or bottom of the West Rim.

You can also opt for a deluxe helicopter tour, and this is a good upgrade to include since you're celebrating Valentine's Day. The deluxe tours lift off from the Strip and they pick you up and drop you off in a limousine, which is a romantic touch. As an added perk, you'll get to see Vegas from the air since the helipad is right on the Strip.

The main reason deluxe tours are worth the price is because they use EcoStar 130 helicopters. These are the largest helicopters that fly to the Canyon. These helicopters have a stadium style seating arrangement, large cabins, and a huge panoramic windscreen. You'll get the best views possible on one of these helicopters.

Romantic Picnic Tour

By far, one of the most popular helicopter tours to the West Rim is the landing tour that offers a Champagne picnic. This tour comes with a helicopter descent into the Canyon where the chopper sets down on the floor and lets you out to enjoy a picnic complete with a Champagne toast. It's a unique and fun way to celebrate Valentine's Day.

You can also land on top of the Canyon if you want, because that is where the Skywalk is located. The Skywalk is an amazing glass structure that hangs out 70 feet beyond the edge of the Canyon. Not only that, it sits 4000 feet above the Canyon floor below. The view from there is simply amazing, and it's a great photo op too. There is even a professional photographer available to take a picture of you and your sweetheart to commemorate your special Valentine's Day adventure.

If your budget doesn't allow for a landing tour, then an air-only tour is a good alternative, just be sure to opt for the deluxe version. The flyover is impressive and unforgettable, and you still get the Vegas flyover, as well as the limousine service.

Book Soon

Tours are in high demand, so you will need to book soon. The deluxe tours are especially popular, so if you want all the VIP perks, be sure to get your seats locked in two weeks ahead of time. If you put it off, the tour might sell out before you can lock in your seats. Sometimes you get lucky and can grab a seat at the last minute, but even if you can, you'll probably have to pay more for your tour.

The weather at the Canyon will reflect the weather in Las Vegas. Helicopters are climate controlled, so wear at least a sweater if you're taking an air-only tour. If you will be landing at the canyon, take a jacket with you.

Touring The South Rim

All of the South Rim helicopter tours start in Arizona, so you'll need to take a plane from Vegas, which is a short one-hour flight. When you arrive at the South Rim, you can transfer to a deluxe helicopter for your tour, and you can even tour by plane if you want. Helicopter tours are the best choice though because they fly lower and you can see better through the panoramic windscreen.

To Conclude

Valentine's Day will soon be here, so begin planning your tour now. Valentine's Day is a good time for a quick trip to unwind, just make sure you get your seats booked for your tour in advance, and the best way to do that is to buy your tour online with your credit card so you get the lowest price. While all the Canyon tours are fun, a deluxe tour offers perks that make your experience even more special. There's no better way to make special memories of Valentine's Day than to take your loved on an exciting tour of the Canyon.
