After a saefty briefing, board a state-of-the-art chopper and buckle up for the scenic flight, following the Colorado River toward the canyon’s eastern end.

Itinerary
Pass By:  
Route 66
After departing the Phoenix metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. As we continue further into Northern Arizona, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff and from the highway, see the San Francisco Peaks among the seemingly endless Ponderosa Pine Forest, the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pines in the world.

Victoria worked really hard to find a pick up spot that was accessible to me without a car. Turned out to be right at my hotel, which was super fantastic. Steven was a great guide and driver. Brought us to a good lunch spot. Many "comfort" stops/"bio breaks" and chances for snacks. My group was nice and quiet. Everyone was on time to the meeting spot, mostly. My helicopter ride was cancelled due to weather. I was refunded that portion immediately.

We enjoyed Williams, AZ on route 66. The helicopter flight was absolutely amazing. Our driver, Tracy was so friendly and informative. Tracy took us to two different parts of the south rim and it was so beautiful! I recommend this tour to everyone considering going to the Grand Canyon!

We couldn't agree more, a guided tour is the best way to ensure you get to see precisely what you need, and you've got a guide to answer any questions and fill you in on the not-so-common knowledge! We hope to see you again soon. Take care! Best, Nathan DETOURS

We had a great time! Everything went smoothly & was better than expected. Our driver, Derek, was on time for pickup & stops throughout the day, he was knowledgeable & had a great sense of humor. The Grand Canyon is breathtaking and seeing it from the air is indescribable. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime kind of experience.

It's impossible to comprehend the enormity of the Grand Canyon without a helicopter flight. Hovering above the beautifully sculptured canyon, one is overcome by the Creator.

I am so happy I decided to do the helicopter ride. The view of the canyon from the air is just breathtaking. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. The ground trip was also amazing. Our tour guide Tracy was very informative and gave us some background history of the areas that we stopped at and areas we passed by. Wonderful experience since I don’t think I will come back to Arizona.

Curtoazie of the driver, tour of the canyon was impressive but very short, 15-20 min out of 45 min. Took 15 min to get to the canyon flying over the forest, than, barely flu above the canyon 15 min and we returned over the forested area for the return to the base.

Hello and thank you for your review. The 45 minute helicopter flight does include time to get from the Grand Canyon airport to the Grand Canyon but we hope you enjoyed the aerial experience the whole way through! And we certainly hope you enjoyed our van tour! Thanks for choosing DETOURS, Rachel
