Tour Itinerary

See the majestic beauty of the Grand Canyon from an eagle's perspective with an express air tour that takes you over its best highlights. It's a fast and hassle-free way to enjoy some of the most incredible scenery in the country.

Head to the Flagstaff Airport and board an aircraft equipped with comfortable seats and windows big enough for sightseeing and snapping pictures. Cruise down the runway and take to the skies, soaring over the landscape of Flagstaff.

Continue north over the Coconino Plateau and Navajo Reservation land and on to the Grand Canyon, one of the world's most immense natural wonders. Fly over the canyon's widest and deepest point on a route that few planes are allowed to take. Soar 1,000 feet (304 m) over the South Rim and alongside the north rim to marvel at layered, rainbow-colored cliffs that reveal millions of years of geological history. Your experience ends with a return to the Flagstaff Airport.


This tour will be booked on a first-come/first-served basis. We will confirm the availability with you after booking.
