Are you looking for something fun to do over the 2015 Labor Day weekend? For an unusual way to celebrate, take an air tour of the Grand Canyon. There will be helicopter and airplane tours available, and lots of tour options to choose from. Grand Canyon Tours Out Of Vegas Vegas is the place to begin an air tour of the West Rim. When you book your tour, you get to select an aerial tour or one that lands at the canyon. If you take a landing tour, you will land on top of the rim or on the canyon floor alongside the Colorado River, and if you take an aerial tour, you'll fly over the West Rim and head back to Vegas. You can save money by taking an air only tour, but if you can work it out with your budget, a landing tour will provide the best experience. Landing tours include a flyover, which is then complemented by some exciting landing options. One tour comes with a boat ride along the river so you can see the canyon from the bottom up, as well as a champagne picnic on the canyon floor. Another option is to land at the top, and take the VIP experience at the Skywalk viewing platform. This transparent platform will allow you to step out on a transparent deck, which is 4000 feet from the bottom of the canyon. Even after being in a helicopter, this is an exhilarating experience. Touring The South Rim By Airplane Airplane tours are more affordable than helicopter tours, and they are the best choice when you are traveling with a large group of people. The follow the same tour route, the only difference is they fly higher than helicopters. They cost about 80 percent as much as a helicopter tour, and one thing to keep in mind is that the airplanes can't fly down to the canyon floor. Another reason you might want to take an airplane tour is because they fly out to the South Rim in Arizona. It would take you over five hours to drive to Tusayan from Vegas, but in a plane it will only take one hour. When you arrive at the South Rim, you can take an aerial tour of the park that covers all the wilderness area over to the eastern border of the park and the region between the North and South Rim, also, you can take a bus tour or a fun Jeep tour too. If you do choose to go to the South Rim and take a helicopter flight, you will choose between a 30 minute and 50 minute flight. The 50-minute one is a good choice because it flies over 75 percent of the entire Grand Canyon National Park. You will have plenty of options to combine helicopter, Jeep, or bus tours on the ground, so no matter how much time you have or what your budget is, you will find a package that suits you at the South Rim.
