Tour Description

Our Celebration Tour is a memorable helicopter tour from Las Vegas that reaches Grand Canyon West airport.

Enjoy the ease of complimentary hotel pick-up and shuttle service to our Boulder City terminal where your helicopter awaits to fly you to the Grand Canyon West Rim. Get your camera ready for the spectacular aerial views of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River, and of course - the Grand Canyon. Peer out your oversized window to see Guano Point and Eagle Point from above! In-flight narration available in a variety of languages will provide insight about this diverse area. You’ll touch down at the Grand Canyon West terminal with time to browse the authentic arts and crafts made by the Hualapai Tribe. The return flight back to the Boulder City features equally-impressive aerial views.

What's Included:

• Breathtaking panoramic views of the Hoover Dam, Grand Wash Cliffs, Grapevine Mesa, and Grand Canyon West

What To Bring:

• Bring your I.D. - All passengers booked on a tour must have government issued forms of identification.
• Be sure to book your tour as early in your trip as possible.
• Water: You may bring a bottle of water, however the bottle is not allowed to be opened in the aircraft.
• Don’t forget your camera! Cameras and phones are allowed and encouraged, but please be aware that the use of "Selfie Sticks" and extending camera poles are strictly prohibited in and around the aircraft.
• Not sure what to wear? Layered clothing is recommended through the months of March to September, and winter clothing should be worn from October to mid-March.

Put the Power of Papillon Tours to Work For You!

Let's start with the trips that put Papillon on the map - helicopters. The company got its start in the 1960's by offering air tours from Las Vegas and Tusayan (a/k/a South Rim). Back then, there weren't a lot of companies offering such flights, and if they were, it was the South Rim from whence they flew versus Las Vegas.

But that all changed once the West Rim (WR) got hot as a travel destination.

In the beginning, the WR was a desolate place and only a few hardy soles made the trip to the edge. Then the Skywalk launched in 2007 and WR tours took off like a rocket. It's also when Papillon went "all in." Today, the company runs WR air and landing tours every day of the year except Christmas Day (if you want an air tour on that occasion, I suggest you take an airplane tour because they run non-stop). Air tours are the cheapest and are the one's that Papillon often has special pricing on.

Pap's landing tours are more expensive but they are by and far the way to go, especially the one that lands at the bottom of the canyon for a Champagne picnic. This particular trip is unique for several reasons. First, it would have never been a reality if the Hualapai Tribe hadn't agreed to let Papillon land at the bottom. Second, it's the only place in the Grand Canyon where you can take a heli to the base.

Papillon's success with helicopter rides spurred the company to acquire Scenic Airlines, which, prior to acquisition, was the leader in airplane tours to the canyon, both from Las Vegas and the South Rim. Thus when you book a plane tour with Pap it's actually going to be provided by Scenic.

Frequent Flyer

Scenic was a great company before Papillon bought them. They're even better now that they have Papillon's muscle behind them. From Vegas, airplane tours go to the West Rim and the South Rim. My favorite West Rim trip is the one that lands at Grand Canyon West and comes with a heli to the bottom and a boat ride. The other that travelers like is the one that lands on top of the rim and gives them the option to do the Skywalk.

For those who want to fly direct from Las Vegas to the South Rim, an airplane ride is the only way to go. The flight takes all of 60 minutes, comes with a 2.5-hour tour inside the park and can even be extended to include a helicopter ride! Incredibly, total tour time is just 6 hours, which means if you plan it right you can be back on The Strip in time to cavort the night away.

At South Rim, Scenic/Papillon is the only airplane tour option. You'd think a "monopoly" like this would not be good for travelers. Oddly, it just hasn't been the case. The price is a great value and I've rarely seen it spike. As for the tour, it's one that let's you see up to 75 percent of the National Park in under an hour. The only other way to do this is to take a helicopter ride and that costs twice as much.

Bus tours from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon are big business and Papillon's got a big piece of the pie. They offer coach packages to the West Rim and the South Rim. These tours run daily, departing once in the morning around 7 a.m. From a price perspective, bus tours are some of the cheapest trips out there and are an incredible value.

Buses go to the West Rim and the South Rim and require an entire day. By "entire" I mean between 13-15 hours depending on the rim you visit. They come with lunch, guide and all taxes and fees. West Rim tours can be extended with Skywalk tickets, heli rides to the bottom and boat tours on the Colorado River. As for South Rim trips, you can add a rim-to-rim helicopter ride. To my mind, it's another scenario where Papillon's synergy comes into play as it combines elements of all of its tours to make individual ones like bus trips great.

The final Papillon tour offering is the 1-day rafting trip. The West Rim option comes with a helicopter ride to the bottom followed by an 11-mile float down through Black Canyon to Willow Beach. South Rim adventures either start with a plane flight or a bus ride to Page, AZ, home of Glen Canyon Dam. If you take the plane package, you'll squeeze in a 4x4 tour of Antelope Canyon. Both trips go 15 miles down the Colorado to Lee's Ferry, wherein you'll transfer to a bus and make the trip back to the South Rim. The really cool thing about float tours is that kids as young as 4 can do them. Please note that float tours are seasonal and run from mid-March through the first week of November.

My intent is to show Papillon Tours as more than just a helicopter company. Indeed, helicopters are their expertise, but the company also offers airplane, bus and 1-day rafting trips. The benefits of being multi-faceted is that Papillon can take one tour, say a bus trip, and add different side trips to it (e.g. helicopter flights, boat rides) to make a trip that nobody else can offer. Further, I like the one-stop shopping aspect of Papillon. If the helicopter tour I want is sold out (which is common), I can book an airplane or bus tour. And finally there's price. Papillon is the largest Grand Canyon tour company in operation (especially in Las Vegas), and they use that clout to offer prices that few if any of their competitor's can touch.

Papillon Helicopter Tours

Papillon Helicopters is the right tour company for you if you want to experience as much of the Grand Canyon as possible without extensive, weeks-long backpacking trips. Given the small size of Papillon’s helicopters, these tours are perfect for families or small groups of friends looking to experience the Canyon together. They even offer wedding packages for couples looking for a romantic getaway and the chance to exchange vows in the heart of one of the world’s Natural Wonders! Papillon operates Grand Canyon tours out of five different terminals: one in Las Vegas, one in Boulder City, one on the South and West Rim, respectively, and one in Page, AZ. You can choose the tour and terminal that’s right for you based on the parts of the Canyon you most want to see.

Papillon Helicopters Tour’ chairman, Elling Halvorsen, is no stranger to experiencing the Grand Canyon via helicopter. Charged with building a pipeline that would deliver water to the Canyon’s South Rim, Halvorsen determined that helicopters would be the ideal transport system for moving massive pieces of pipe down into the Canyon’s treacherous terrain. However, Halvorsen’s project ended up delivering much more than water: guests and workers traveling to the pipeline by helicopter were so struck by the Canyon’s aerial beauty that they began to ask for chartered flights. Finally, Papillon Helicopters (originally Grand Canyon Helicopters) was founded in 1965 to do just that.

Today, Papillon Helicopters flies an estimate of 600,000 passengers on tours of the Grand Canyon each year . They employ highly trained pilots certified by the FAA requirements for sightseeing operators. With years of flying experience under their belts and special training enabling them to fly the entire expanse of the Canyon, Papillon pilots are able to show you natural spectacles unreachable by any other means—from lush forests to spectacular rock formations, and much more. Papillon’s helicopters themselves are cozy, allowing room for six passengers or so plus the pilot; their windows are specially designed to allow you the most expansive views of the incredible vistas the Canyon has to offer.

Papillon Helicopter Tour Features & Amenities (in most Papillon Tours):

• Complimentary pick-up and drop-off at Las Vegas hotels (offered only for tours leaving from Las Vegas)
• Helicopters specially designed for sightseeing, complete with panoramic windows, air conditioning, and luxurious first-class seating
• Pre-recorded tour narration available in 12 languages, plus choreographed music
• All tours are operational every day except Christmas
• Papillon pilots are certified not only by the FAA (Federal Aviation Association), but also by TOPS (Tour Operators Program of Safety): with higher standards than the FAA, TOPS certification guarantees the safest professionals available

Notes and Things to Improve:

• Since Papillon flies a lot of tours, it’s a good idea to confirm your booking both well ahead of time and a few days before your departure, just to be safe. Also, be sure to stick together in the often-crowded terminal so that you’re not separated from your group!
• Wait times before and after your helicopter ride can be significant, so it’s a good idea to bring water, snacks, a book, things to keep kids occupied, etc.
• Tours without add-ons (e.g., the Grand Celebration Tour described below) don’t spend much time on the Canyon floor: if this is important to you, you might want to consider a more involved tour (e.g., the Grand Voyager Tour below)
• Please note that passengers exceeding 300lbs in weight must pay an extra fee for additional comfort seating; this fee can vary depending on the tour
• Please note that all passengers must carry government ID
