This affordable yet unforgettable tour takes you through a large and spectacular section of the Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) that’s rarely visited by other tours of the South Rim. Fly high above the Canyon, the only perspective from which to truly understand its size and grandeur. Better still, enjoy that awe-inspiring experience in a touring-designed Vistaliner airplane complete with massive window for every seat and raised wings to prevent blocked views.
Papillon South Rim Airplane Tour Details
This Papillon airplane tour departs directly from the convenient Grand Canyon National Park Airport (just a few miles from the GCNP entrance at the South Rim). Please note that you are responsible for arriving at the airport yourself. Once there, however, you’ll board a specially designed Vistaliner aircraft featuring windows that make aerial photography a breeze! While most South Rim tours focus on the particular beauty and lookout points at the South Rim itself, Papillon’s South Rim Airplane tour is something completely different: it flies you out to the center of the Grand Canyon and all the way to its Eastern Rim! During this nearly hour-long flight, you’ll enjoy unparalleled views of the Zuni Corridor, Imperial Point, and the Confluence of the Colorado River and Little Colorado River; you’ll even soar above the verdant Kaibab National Forest and Plateau.
Papillon South Rim Airplane Tour Major Highlight:
Unlike most tours, the Papillon South Rim Airplane Tour takes you all the way out into the center of the Grand Canyon National Park, as well as to the Eastern Rim—home of some of GCNP’s least known and most beautiful locations.
