A Grand Canyon Adventure: A Helicopter Tour from Las Vegas

Dreaming of a breathtaking adventure to the majestic Grand Canyon?
Look no further! A helicopter tour with Papillon from Las Vegas is the ultimate way to experience this natural wonder.
We visited Las Vegas to celebrate my mum's 50th Birthday and before our visit booked a helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon with Papillon. Our adventure was unforgettable, a true once in a lifetime experience ticked off our bucket list and well worth every penny. The afternoon started off with a touch of luxury as Papillon picked us up from our hotel in a sleek limousine with a bottle of champagne on ice.



As we boarded the helicopter, a sense of anticipation filled the air, i'm not the best with heights but always push myself out of my comfort zone and try not to overthink it. Our journey began with a scenic flight over the Hoover Dam, a marvel of engineering that dwarfed everything beneath it.
The helicopter then turned its course towards the Grand Canyon, a natural wonder that defies description, the sheer scale of the canyon took our breath away. The intricate layers of rock, carved by the relentless force of the Colorado River over millions of years, were a sight to behold.



We then started our decent into the grand canyon where we would be landing to enjoy a champagne picnic. Soon we were surrounded by the towering cliffs and the rushing Colorado River. We explored the area a little and took some photos whilst our pilot set up or picnic. It was an experience like no other, pure tranquility and we sat in awe overlooking the majestic landscape around us.


As the sun began to set, we boarded the helicopter for our return journey. During our flight back to Las Vegas our pilot took us on a small detour to see the beautiful red rock canyon, then from here we had a full length flight of the Las Vegas strip at sunset. It was amazing to see the dazzling lights of the Strip as they twinkled against the darkening sky.



If you're looking for an unforgettable experience during your trip to Las Vegas, a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon is a must-do. The combination of breathtaking scenery, luxurious transportation, and a touch of adventure was an adventure of a lifetime.
