Want to make Valentine's Day extra special? A helicopter tour at the Grand Canyon will make it one to remember for a lifetime. Romance and adventure are combined on these tours that depart from Las Vegas, and the Arizona South Rim.
Vegas Tours
Vegas is already a special place to be, but you can make it even better with a helicopter tour. There are plenty of options available from the city, including air-only and landing flights.
One tour that is ideal for Valentine's Day is the one that flies you to the Canyon floor. This tour comes with a Champagne picnic, and you can even add on a scenic boat ride along the Colorado River. Another fun thing to do at the Canyon is on top of the rim, because that's where the Skywalk is location.
The Skywalk is a thrilling adventure of its own. It's a transparent platform that extends out over the Canyon rim, and will allow you to look down 4000ft to the river below.
South Rim Flights
The South Rim is just as spectacular as the West Rim, but it's never as busy. If you want something a little more intimate and mysterious, then the South Rim is for you. The South Rim begins at Tusayan in Arizona. You can start right from there, or there are flights available from Vegas.
You can pick from two tours of the South Rim. One of them gives you thirty minutes of air time and goes over to the North and back to the South Rim. However, there is a longer tour that is even better. It includes the same sights as the shorter tour, but also flies over to the eastern border of the national park. The tour lasts fifty minutes and takes you over about 75 percent of the entire national park.
Upgrade to Deluxe
When you book your tour, you can book a basic tour or the deluxe version. The basic tours come with complimentary transportation on a shuttle bus. However, if you want to please your Valentine, then upgrading to a deluxe tour is worth it.
Deluxe tours use newer EcoStar 130 helicopters. These helicopters provide for a smoother flight, they have larger cabins, and they have deluxe stadium style seats. The best feature is the gigantic 180-degree windscreen, which gives you a complete panoramic view of the Canyon.
To top things off, deluxe tours also include a limousine shuttle service. Why not treat your loved one to the complete experience?
Don't Miss Out!
Helicopter tours of the Canyon are very popular whether you leave from Vegas or Arizona, so you need to book your tour as soon as you can. Book around two weeks ahead of the date that you want to fly, and book online, using your credit card. Buying your tour online is convenient, but more importantly, it locks in your seats so you won't get shut out of the tour you want. Plus, you'll get the lowest prices online since you'll be able to bypass a booking agent.
Conclusion
Viewing one of the most mysterious and scenic places on earth is a romantic experience when you do it with the one you love on a special occasion such as Valentine's Day. The tours come in a variety of prices, so you can find a fun tour that fits within your Valentine's Day budget.
Give your Valentine a gift that they won't forget. Remember to book online with your credit card, and don't miss out on the opportunity to spend Valentine's Day at the most impressive scenery in the United States. There's no other gift that says 'I love you', in quite the same way.
