Product Info
Embark on a multi-perspective adventure that begins with a relaxing ride in a Detours executive-style van through the stunning Sonoran Desert, where towering saguaro cacti stand tall. As you journey north, watch the landscape transform from classic desert scenery to expansive grasslands and finally to majestic Ponderosa pine forests.
Your adventure continues with a breathtaking 45-minute helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon. Soar above the Kaibab National Forest, the North Rim, and the eastern edge of the canyon as you follow the Colorado River upstream to its confluence with the Little Colorado River. Along the way, take in stunning views of the Painted Desert, Desert View Watchtower, Marble Canyon, and Point Imperial. You'll ascend above the North Rim and glide south through the Dragon Corridor, the canyon's deepest and widest point, before circling back over the South Rim and returning to the airport.
Next, explore Grand Canyon National Park, where you’ll have access to awe-inspiring vistas and panoramic overlooks reachable only on foot. Whether you choose to walk along the rim, browse local shops, or simply marvel at the natural beauty, your time in the park promises unforgettable moments.
Finally, reboard the Detours shuttle for the return journey, with convenient pick-up available from select hotels in Scottsdale and Phoenix.
