Insider Tip
Travelers report that arriving 30 minutes before departure ensures time to watch the safety briefing and board calmly—don’t be late! Heli rides take off early—temperatures can be cool before sunrise, then hot on the canyon floor. Travelers advise layers and sunglasses. Note that personal cameras aren’t allowed on the Skywalk, but complimentary lockers are provided. Space inside the helicopter is limited. Bring only your camera, sunglasses, and a light layer—leave large bags behind.
Important Info
Travelers booking this tour will receive confirmation at the time of purchase. Each guest must present a valid government-issued ID that matches the name on their ticket to board the flight. It is considered a federal offense to board an FAA-approved aircraft using a false ID. The helicopter ride lasts approximately 35 minutes each way, totaling about 70 minutes of flight time. While the tour is stroller accessible and located near public transportation, it is not wheelchair accessible. Infants are welcome but must sit on an adult’s lap during the flight. For safety and balance reasons, any passenger who weighs over 250 pounds (113 kg) will need to purchase an extra seat. This fee is paid directly to the tour operator on the day of the experience. Most travelers are able to participate, and the maximum group size is 30 people. Guests may cancel their reservation up to 24 hours in advance to receive a full refund.
