Arrive early for check-in
If you skip hotel pickup, arrive at the Papillon Terminal in Boulder City at least 45 minutes before departure to clear weight checks and paperwork.
Prepare for baggage limits
Purses, backpacks and loose bags are not allowed on the helicopter—carry only essentials in pockets or leave items at the terminal.
Bring layered sun protection
Desert temperatures swing; sunhat, sunscreen, and a light wind layer keep you comfortable on-rim and in the helicopter.
Confirm weight and ID rules
All adults need government photo ID; passengers 300+ lbs must buy an extra seat for balance—disclose weight when requested.

High desert sun reflects off rock—strong SPF and lip protection prevent sunburn.
