Flight of the Condor

This airplane tour takes visitors to the Grand Canyon West above the incredible scenery in a luxury sightseeing airplane, with daily departures from the Grand Canyon West air terminal just outside of the park. Upon arrival at the terminal, passengers will board a state-of-the-art airplane designed with climate control, plush seating, oversized windows, and noise-cancelling headsets that offer music and narration available in multiple languages. You'll discover aerial views of the West Rim's most stunning landmarks including Eagle Point, the world-famous Skywalk glass-bottomed bridge, Guano Point, the Colorado River, and the expansive desert landscape beneath you. 

Upon landing back at the air terminal, passengers will have the option to purchase entry into the West Rim to continue their exploration on the surface. Shuttle service can transport passengers to Hualapai Point, where your party can enjoy a shooting gallery, shop for authentic Native American crafts, and meet Hualapai ambassadors who will answer questions about their tribe's history. You can also visit Eagle Point, where you can also purchase entry onto the Skywalk. Another stop includes Guano Point, a stone peninsula that juts out into the middle of the canyon and offers 360-degree views of the scenery.
