Grand Canyon Wind Dancer Tour

Depart the Las Vegas Strip and start your experience with an exhilarating helicopter tour over the iconic Hoover Dam, one of America's national treasures and a popular sightseeing attraction. You will enjoy panoramic views of Lake Mead and the Mojave Desert as you head toward the Grand Canyon. You'll also have intimate views of Temple Rock, a unique formation on the shoreline of Lake Mead and Fortification Hill, an extinct volcano.

The ground drops away as you enter the majestic Grand Canyon and fly for over 10 miles through this geographic marvel. Gaze at the time-forged shapes and stunning coloration as the canyon walls surround. Descend and land 3,500 feet below the rim on Hualapai Indian Territory. Champagne, beverages and light snacks will be served some 300 feet above the mighty Colorado River atop Maverick Helicopters' private bluff deep within this natural wonder.

As you fly back through the Grand Canyon, you'll view the red rock formations of the Bowl of Fire and conclude your adventure with an exciting flight over Downtown Las Vegas and the Strip.
