The Majestic Helicopter Tour features a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon's South Rim near Grandview Point. The tour will take you and your family across the widest and deepest part of the gorge, five thousand feet above the heart of the Grand Canyon which is the Colorado River. The tour then takes you to the higher grounds of the North Rim which features a forest that is denser. Open only seasonally, the North Rim supports plant and animal life not available in the South Rim. These include birch, aspen or oak trees as well as the Kaibab Squirrel.
After circling a few times, the helicopter then takes you back to the Grand Canyon South Rim via the Dragon Corridor. This is one of the Grand Canyon's most photogenic spots. The Eco Star helicopters feature oversized windows which let you take in the panorama as you listen to a recorded narration guiding you through the tour.
