Grand Canyon West, AZ 86434, USA
View on Google MapsDiscussing the beauty of the Grand Canyon is completely unnecessary. However, I leave a warning: going to the glass platform is a total "pega-turista" experience. As it is not possible to bring cameras or cell phones, the tourist is obliged to hire the photographers who provide service on site. 6 photos for $50.00. Bad photos, which do not show what you think is most beautiful and extremely bad mood photographers. There's no way to do it differently. The way is to know it and enjoy the experience without the pressure of the photographers.
Wonderful experience! My wife and I took our 14 month-old on the North Rim tour (about 30 minutes) and it was worth every penny! The little one had a blast, I had a great time and so did she! We joined another couple and the views were breathtaking to say the least, but wow! The whole flight, loading, unloading, safety experience was top notch. Thanks Papillion!
First off- place is extremely easy to find. Its about 20 minutes drive from Grand Canyon Village or about 5 min from anywhere in Tusayan. Parking is ample. Check-in: Smooth as expected and staff is very friendly and share with you what all you can do while you wait for your flight Boarding: Ground crew helpfully and politely guides you to your seat (you cannot just sit wherever you want for weight distribution reasons) Flight: Worth every penny! I don't have to tell you that the views were spectacular since that's what you paid for. Added bonus - funny and chatty pilot, music in the helicopter for the few min until we're over the canyon, voiceover guidance once above the canyon.

We booked a highlights aircraft tour with Papillion. They picked us up from our hotel in Vegas & drove us out to Boulder City airport. Once we checked in, we waited a short while for our pilot to come & get us. She was excellent. You get assigned a seat based on weight. Everybody has a window seat so there are no bad seats. The flight was excellent, you get to see Lake Mead & the Hoover Dam before flying over the west rim of the Grand Canyon. The pilot slows down over the Canyon so you can get to take in all the sights. It doesn't matter which side of the plane you sit on as if you get to see the other side on the way back. Papillion have great customer service, their drivers were on time to pick us up & all their staff are friendly & polite. I would highly recommend their tours.
My partner and I went on an amazing scenic flight over the Grand Canyon! We later boarded a bus where my partner left her phone on the seat. We urgently called the agency and notified them, they acted swiftly, Sonny the bus driver actually rescued the phone from the hands of a thief!! that tried to get away with our phone. All in all Sonny saved our vacation and deserves the highest of praise!! Thank you Sonny!
We arrived to find we were the only 2 for the fixed wing flight and they need a minimum of 6. Feeling a bit sad at this point as Grand Canyon a bucket lister for me and unlikely to pass this way again. Next minute they upgraded us to a helicopter tour, the full canyon circuit not the short 30 minute one, and on a competitor’s flight. They paid the significant difference in price. We were amazed and delighted. The tour itself over the canyon was of course a wonder to behold. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of GCScenic Airlines. Thank you!
Four of us booked a flight over Grand Canyon West, setting down by the Colorado for a short river trip and back in the helicopter to the airport. This is a wonderful and breath-taking way to view the magnificence of the Gorge and Colorado. The staff of Papillon were helpful and accommodating as I have a leg handicap and for this reason, the helicopter landed lower down to the river to avoid the longer walk down. The river trip was also memorable with a friendly and informative guide who helped to make the experience fun. Definitely one of my favourite trips to that area which I thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for breathtaking views and memories ! It has been the second time we've done the air tour of the Grand Canyon ,15 years apart..Always magnificent. Superb. A must do.
Too good, helico on top. Nice staff. No delay, respect for flight time. Cheap souvenir photos. All happiness.
Professionally performed in all ways, from registration website, to confirmation via phone, security brief, ground staff, and not least our calm and friendly pilot Jason. Although I have height fear and was initially sceptical, there was no problem at all. Such a trip can definitely be recommended!! We had absolutely top, and it was a fantastic way and experience Grand Canyon for the first time. Thanks for the trip!
