Grand Canyon Helicopters flies the newest, most luxurious, sound- and climate-controlled aircraft available. Their ECO-Star helicopters are designed with both passenger comfort and visibility, and environmental considerations in mind: experience 180º views from your theater-style seats onboard the only touring helicopter with noise levels that register below the National Park Service’s standards! As a National Park Service Preferred Provider, Grand Canyon Helicopters has exclusive landing sites at the bottom of the Canyon, plus certification to fly the entire Canyon’s length! Finally, after 45 years of experience flying 450,000 passengers nationally, Grand Canyon Helicopters has perfected and continues to exceed its safety standards: as a founding member of the Tour Operators Program of Safety (TOPS), their safety, pilot training, and maintenance standards remain much higher than those required by the FAA.
