Grand Canyon West Rim Adventure from Sedona: Helicopter Tour and Lunch
Sedona, United States of America
Explore the Grand Canyon West Rim by air and foot on this day trip from Sedona. This tour has it all: Take in gorgeous aerial views of Red Rock Country on a flight from Sedona and soar to the canyon basin on a helicopter tour. Take an optional stroll along the famous Skywalk, watch a cultural performance by native Indians, and enjoy a hearty BBQ lunch on the rim of the canyon.
After pickup from your Sedona hotel and checking in at the Sedona airport, sit back and relax as your pilot entertains you with expert commentary while flying over beautiful Red Rock Canyon and Sycamore Canyon to the Grand Canyon West Rim, the land of the Hualapai Indians.
When you land at the West Rim Airport, you’ll board a helicopter for a 7-minute helicopter flight from the rim down 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) to the Colorado River.
After you ascend back up to the rim, board the West Rim shuttle and head to Eagle Point, where you’ll may take an unforgettable stroll down the famous Skywalk (ticket not included). Overlooking the edge of the canyon, this transparent glass bridge offers one-of-a-kind views of the majestic canyon and its surroundings.
Next, enjoy a cultural performance by members of the Hualapai Indian tribe before continuing to Guano Point to enjoy a hearty BBQ lunch on the canyon's rim. After your full-day tour, you’ll head back to the airport for your return flight to Sedona.
As good as it sounds. Well planned to hit the highlights and more. Would recommend for anyone, despite the high price.

This trip although it might fit everyone's budget, was by far the best day trip to see the most of Arizona and the Grand Canyon by air and boat. An amazing day!!! We were left just grateful and amazed with the beauty and majesty of the Grand Canyon up close. So, I have absolutely no regrets that I booked this tour--it was truly one of my best days of my life so far and got the magnificent pictures to prove it!

Top Shelf! Everyone involved was friendly, courteous and responded to our Needs/wishes. Cannot imagine a better way to experience so much of the Grand Canyon and Red Rock area in a single day!

Wonderful experience. Amazing scenery. Brilliant pilot and escort.

Our pilot on the plane Mike and the pilot on the helicopter Chris were great. Mike was like our guardian angel keeping all eight of us in check through out the entire day. The boat tour guides were equally accommodating, but unfortunately I do not remember their names.

Our pilot/guide, Mike, was fantastic! He watched out for us, relayed historical facts, and was funny. And the views and transportation modes-all wonderful! We felt we got our money's worth.

The trip was really fun. The big disappointment was that helicopter didn't take us down to the canyon floor. As described in the brochure it said we would be flown to bottom of the canyon for a short boat ride. This part was left out. Other than that it was a nice trip.

Great tour! Plane ride to canyon much better than anticipated. Easy in Sedona and from airport in Canyon. Only caution and reason for not being five stars is the timing of the helicopters/boats and large crowds. This caused real delays getting to helicopter and getting to boat. Bus trips around canyon were fine. Notably, the flood of people also affected staff... our boat ran out of gas and we had a temporary rafting trip too.

Great way to see the Grand Canyon if you're short on time. Full-day excursion which ran smoothly, saw many of the highlights. Sedona is also a stunning place, it's great to see Sedona from the air as well as the Grand Canyon!

This was a fantastic day made even more special by Scott our pilot who made the trip for us and who told us so much about the canyon and the surrounding landscape and flew us over some fantastic scenery giving us an amazing opportunity to photograph and experience the vast beauty of the canyon. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Wonderful tour from start to finish. Very friendly and engaging service from the time they picked us up at our hotel all the way to the return back to the hotel. Plane ride was great; pilot narrated interesting facts and pointed out many sites to see and take photos. Pilot was also the tour guide on the ground. He gave us great tips to save time and get to the best sites quickly and avoid waits. Eagle point and Guano points were breath taking. Food variety was good. Helicopter ride to the river was fun. Helo pilot posed with guests for photos. Boat ride was quick; operator was informative. Despite the long day, wished it was longer. Overall, would recommend this trip to anyone.

We had a wonderful time on this tour despite some disappointments. Our Sedona pilot, Scott, was professional, fun and informative. We loved the plane trip to the Grand Canyon and enjoyed the scenery and narration from Scott. The helicopter ride was breathtaking!. This was our first ride on a helicopter and it was beyond my expectations. The scenery and flying into the Grand Canyon is an experience I'll never forget. We loved the pontoon ride on the river and got to experience the helicopter again for the ride back. The helicopter and boat rides are very well organized with hardly any wait time. I was disappointed in the rest of the trip though. We were given 2 hours to eat lunch, go on the Skywalk, explore two sites and take a walking tour with our pilot. There was not enough time to do it all due to the crowds. I really wanted to go on the Skywalk but the line was too long and I did not have time. The view next to the Skywalk was just as good however. There was no time to leisurely explore the two sites (Eagle and Guano point) The lunch was ordinary and cafeteria style or we could have chosen a box lunch with a sandwich. Not what I was expecting when a Bar B Q lunch was advertised. We did not see any native American performances. Scott gave us a great tour of Guano point so that saved the day and the fight back to Sedona was fun. This is a trip I will remember because of the flights, helicopter and Grand Canyon but the land portion left some to be desired.

This was worth doing, but I would skip the Sky Walk option. I thought it was overpriced for what it was. I'd recommend spending less time at Eagle Point and more time at Guano Point. The view was better there in my opinion. The helicopter ride was cool, but too short and no commentary from the pilot on what we were seeing. Same for the boat ride. It was too short.
Review by: Robert A, April 2013
The plane, helicopter, boat ride and lunch were great. What I expected if not more. _br/_
The only issue was when we booked this tour it included the Skywalk admission. There was some sort of mix up. Unfortuntely we spend almost 1 hr trying to sort it out with the staff at the skywalk (which one staff member was very rude and accused us of trying to get on the skywalk for free) and still didn't get to do it. Viator did refunded that portion of our trip with no issues. There was also suppose to be a cultural performance. We did not see this.

The tour was fabulous. The pilot (Chris) from Sedona was attentive and made sure we were looked after. Very much appreciated. Everyone was friendly and would recommend this tour to anyone.
