Las Vegas – Grand Canyon Sunset Helicopter Tour
Las Vegas – Grand Canyon – Las Vegas
To start your experience off right, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in a luxurious stretch limousine and take you to our beautiful pre-flight lounge.
Enjoy our in-flight narration of the history and major landmarks of the region. Our flight path will take us past the 726 foot-high, 1,244 foot-long Hoover Dam.
Fly across the beautiful and barren landscapes of the Mojave Desert. The Mojave appears harsh from a distance, but a closer inspection reveals a varied topography featuring mountains, valleys, springs, forests, and wetlands.
Cross the shimmering teal blue waters and stunning sandstone shorelines of Lake Mead and follow the mighty Colorado River into the Grand Canyon. The canyon’s immense size and unique combinations of geologic color and striations overwhelm the senses.
This epic canyon is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and a mile deep. Because of our close relationship with the Hualapai Tribe, we’re able to land in the canyon, where you can further explore the landscape on foot.
Have a glass of bubbly on us, in true Sundance style. Enjoy a meal from your own personal picnic basket while taking in the sights!
As we leave we’ll fly over the brightest city in the world, Las Vegas. We’ll fly past Stratosphere Tower and hope for a glimpse of the Bellagio’s fountains before spotting the skyline of New York-New York and the beam atop the Luxor pyramid. This is the only way to experience the beauty of the Las Vegas strip in all of its shimmering glory.
This tour runs in the evening. For a morning or afternoon tour, check out our Las Vegas – Grand Canyon Picnic Helicopter Tour (2422-64543).
