Make the right tradeoff

Grand Canyon Helicopter Flyover or Landing Tour?

Maximum airtime

Choose an air-only Grand Canyon flyover

03

Terminal choice

Compare Las Vegas and Boulder City departures

Papillon package options can change the terminal, shuttle time, total flight time, Strip pass, and starting price. Read the selected option name before paying.
