This sightseeing tour to the Grand Canyon begins with a hotel pickup in Las Vegas (if option selected) or meet at the Boulder City Municipal Airport to begin your sightseeing flight. This economical Grand Canyon aerial tour packs a lot into a short amount of time.
Start with a pilot meet-and-greet, then climb aboard and buckle up in the fixed-wing Vistaliner plane, featuring panoramic windows for the ultimate aerial adventure.
Begin by flying over the aqua waters and sandstone shorelines of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States, and its place of origin, the famous Hoover Dam, a modern marvel of engineering on the border between Nevada and Arizona. Fly high above the Grand Canyon and Colorado River, passing over West Rim attractions including Guano Point, Eagle Point, and the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass walkway nearly 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) above the canyon floor.
The tour ends with a return flight to Boulder City and drop-off at your original departure point.

Mesmerizing experience!! Did not expect to get that close to the Canyon! We would have never seen the Canyon this way on foot/car. Plane has large windows and makes the view amazing! The pilot was so much fun and gave fun facts. Audio was very nice! Would definitely recommend!!!!!

One of the headphones didn't work on our trip and the company isn't giving a refund back for it. The refund there offered for 250 dollar ticket was 25 dollars. Just 10%. The service isnt great with papilon either. Find another company of you want to the tour

louise_h, Apr 2026
The your was good, times were not clear however and we missed the tour originally. Collection times were not clear, we met another group who had missed the tour also. George was helpful and hot us booked onto the next day, it wasn’t very convenient as we had other activities planned however didn’t want to miss this or forfeit the money we paid.

Experience the grand canyon like never before with a guided plane tour enhancing your knowledge and history of the grand canyon , taking in the breathtaking views of not just the canyon but lake mead and colorado river lasting approximately 1 hour the views are definitely ones you want to see. We done helicopter before and much preferred the plane

Informative and beautiful. We were running late due to an accident on the way. We made it just in time. The staff was so kind and got us checked in asap.
Ashley_H, Dec 2025

Debbie_B, Oct 2025
Amazing views. Everyone was very kind. We had a great experience. Would go again. Convenient hotel pick up and drop off.

Small plane with lot of turbulence. We were told we will go on helicopter than plane, the helicopter the when they did take us on the tarmac, it was plane. Pick-up was far from our hotel and they did not have a wheel chair for my Dad even after requesting. I probably will not use vaitor or papillon (your operating vendor) anymore, at least I feel that way right ow
Vivienne_K, Oct 2025
Professional service from start to finish. Excellent flight, stunning views. Pilots were friendly and informative.
John_G, Oct 2025
We booked for this trip, it confirmed a 7.30 am pick up from our Hotel, we waited for pick up for an hour! I texted and called no response from the tour operator.
I called Viator most helpful, they said the local tour operator changed the pick up time to
5.56 AM we got no such notice and have tickets confirming pick up at 7.30 am , no one would book a 5.56am start time on a vacation?
Very deceptive business practice!
I requested a full refund. We will see!

It was well organized. The plane was warm the pilots are great and office staff. The manager got us a ride to our next destination without returning to strip. Very nice. The plane was stable. Got nice pics. Wish it was cheaper but that's life. The chopper was. Too pricey for time in air. I recommend plane.

Go for it- wonderful seeing Grand Canyon up so close from the air… I am from India and the trip was so worth it…
David_M, Aug 2025
Grand Canyon flying was amazing. The team picked us up on time and everything was so smooth. The views were so amazing.
Victoria_H, Aug 2025
Really disappointed with this tour. The commentary which was given throughout kept cutting out and sounded like it was years old. I saw the hoover dam on my side of the plane but my partner never got to see it. Grand canyon was a massive let down and not worth the money. I would recommend doing it by the bus not the plane.

Great plane ride. Amazing views of the canyon and hoover damn. Nice small group. Knowledgeable pilot.
Everyone got a picture but I was left off and it was a bit awkward but these things can happen.
Shalene_W, Mar 2025
Absolutely worth every penny! Got to see Hoover dam, west rim. So glad did this instead of bus tour. Got to see so much more with plane! Everything was fantastic and breathtaking! Thanks Matt for flying the plane so smooth even with it being so smooth!
Lynn_P, Feb 2025
Amazing once in a lifetime trip worth every single penny great Birdseye views of Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon
Richard_A, Feb 2025
Very professional and friendly. The pilot was engaging and clearly focused on our safety. The plane was very clean and the support staff was equally professional.
Mark_D, Jan 2025
Purchase with enough notice to cancel for refund. These people do not supply pickup times, or answer their phone. Ignore messages too. Be warned
Juan_M, Dec 2024
We had plan this trip for a while and never thought it would be this wonderful our kids loved getting on the plane and flying over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon we definitely recommend it. We will be coming back as my 7 year old daughter loved it so much that she wants to come back for her birthday..
BethMiller, Dec 2024
Great experience, beautiful views of the dam and the grand cannon. Pilots were knowledgeable and friendly.
Jaganathan_G, Nov 2024
I was sitting on the right side. I was not able to see Hoover dam. They should make sure everyone sees it. Better to show while going and again while return
Bobby_E, Nov 2024
The pilot was great friendly guy. I thought the tour would be longer than an hour. I did not see it said approximately 1 hour till day of trip. It say approximately 4 hours in the title so was thing was longer...I didn't take in account they count travel time from hotel
Bapi_N, Oct 2024
The views of the Colorado River and Lake Mead were beautiful. It would have been nice to have a pre-recorded back ground audio of the sights. The recording could have covered the sculpture-like mountain faces and those that look like mountains.
INDRAJIT_R, Oct 2024
Excellent experience. Experienced pilots and very friendly. The entire experience was seamless and very memorable.
Martha_D, Oct 2024
