Yes, all of our pilots and staff are well-versed in the history and geography of the area. Our tour guides will provide information pertaining to your area of interest throughout your tour.
3. Am I able to fly to the Grand Canyon without joining one of your tours?
Most people that visit the Grand Canyon fly into either McCarren airport in Las Vegas or to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. However, both of these airports are more than 200 miles away from the Grand Canyon.
There is a Grand Canyon National Park airport; however, it is usually utilized only by tour companies that provide Grand Canyon air tours (such as ours) or by private aircraft.
The only way to fly to this airport is to join a tour similar to the ones we offer or purchase a private flight to the Grand Canyon National Park airport.
