How to Get a Great Deal on Grand Canyon West Rim Helicopter Tours
In just five minutes, I will tell you how to save up to 35 percent on Las Vegas helicopter tours to the Grand Canyon.
Interested? Good. Let's go save some money.
Las Vegas is the king of discount helicopter tours. This is due to competition among tour companies for your travel dollar.
Fighting it out for your patronage are Papillon, Maverick, and Sundance. These powerhouses claim Vegas as their "turf," and trips to the Grand Canyon's West Rim is a major part of their business.
The "pie" is undoubtedly big enough: More than 35 million people annually visit Vegas. Say just 10 percent of these folks took a helicopter ride. That's 3.5 million trips!
Everyone, from the hotel concierge and the ticket vendor on the street to the travel agent and the resort hotel itself, profits at your expense.
How do beat this game? Book your tour directly with the tour supplier. I know, it sounds odd, but the companies that operate the helicopter tour offer the lowest prices.
Papillon Helicopters, for instance, offers significant price cuts on its West Rim trips. Its popular Grand Celebration tour retails at $399 but can be purchased on its website for $280. Or take its Grand Celebration with boat and Skywalk. This tour retails for $597 but is available for $400 online. The savings really rack up as you upgrade your package to include such activities as rafting, horseback riding, and the Skywalk.
Groups of ten or more enjoy up to an additional 10 percent off the promotional price. This extra savings is not automatic. Let's take Papillon Helicopters again. On their site, find the West Rim tour you want. Then, on the left-hand side, click the blue bar for "small-group" pricing. The web page will refresh and now you are in group mode.
Here are some West Rim quick facts that will help you find the tour that meets your needs:
1. The West Rim is the only spot in the entire Grand Canyon where you can land on the bottom. Don't pass up this amazing opportunity. Papillon's Grand Celebration tour is my top pick for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
2. This is the rim that is home to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This incredible Glass Bridge extends 70 feet past the edge and lifts you 4,000 feet above the Colorado River.
3. Most helicopter tours to Grand Canyon West take just half a day. It takes 45 minutes to reach the Rim, which are 120 east of Las Vegas. Great aerial views of Lake Mead and Hoover Dam are included.
4. This Rim is home to the most activities. River rafting, horseback riding, ATV trail riding. There's even a package that includes a working ranch in El Dorado Canyon.
Las Vegas travelers "in the know" never pay full price for helicopter trips to the Grand Canyon's West Rim. The town is full of promo codes and discounted prices, some of which can net you up to 35% off. The most consistent low-cost leader is Papillon Helicopters. Their best promotions are always on their website and require that you book them online. If you are making a group buy, they will give you an additional 10 percent off. Helicopters make a fantastic day trip to the Grand Canyon. And, if the price is right, isn't it time to fly now?
