Itinerary
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!!!!!

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

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.
