The Grand Canyon is very close to Las Vegas. So close in fact, that you can board a plane in Vegas and take a plane tour of the Canyon. If you’re in the area, you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity. Once you do, you’ll understand why the Grand Canyon is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The Grand Canyon Airplane Sightseeing Tour is a great way to experience this natural wonder during your next visit to Las Vegas. During the tour, you will fly over the North Rim, the Colorado River, and the Painted Desert. The North Rim area is removed from the cities and highways found elsewhere around the Canyon, so you get an undisturbed bird’s eye view. Bring your camera along because you’ll want to remember these views forever!

If you would rather see the South rim of the Canyon, there is also a tour for that. The Grand Canyon South Rim Tours begins with a flight from Vegas to the South Rim. During the flight you’ll see Lake Mead, Nellis Air Force Base, and more. After the flight you’ll explore the South rim, including Mather Point and other popular vantage points. You’ll also visit nearby points of interest, including Bright Angel Point and Kolb Studio, before returning to Vegas.

To experience yet another vantage point of this incredible natural site, try the Grand Canyon West Rim Tours. During this 10 hour tour, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Lake Mead before crossing the famous Hoover Dam before heading to the Mojave Desert to witness the oldest Joshua Tree forest. With this tour, you also have the option to add helicopter rides or boat tours. Take advantage of the different modes of transportation to see new views of the Grand Canyon!
