Experience the Grand Canyon in its most dramatic moments—golden hour and soaring flight—with this unforgettable combination of the Desert View Grand Canyon Sunset Jeep Tour and the Grand Canyon Spirit Helicopter Tour. This package blends the tranquility of sunset views along the South Rim with the exhilaration of a 45-minute helicopter journey over the canyon’s most iconic landmarks.
Begin with the sunset Jeep tour departing from Tusayan. Ride in a custom open-air Jeep® Wrangler guided by a certified interpretive expert who shares insights on the canyon’s geology, culture, and Indigenous history. This three-hour experience includes multiple scenic stops, including Navajo Point, the highest overlook on the South Rim at 7,500 feet.
As the sun dips behind the canyon walls, the cliffs illuminate in deep reds, golds, and purples—one of the most breathtaking sights in the Southwest. Cooler evening temperatures and fewer crowds make this the ideal time to explore scenic viewpoints. Your tour also includes park admission during the experience and a complimentary ticket to the IMAX® film Grand Canyon: Rivers of Time, an immersive visual journey through the canyon’s history.
After taking in sunset from the rim, elevate your adventure with the Grand Canyon Spirit Helicopter Tour, the longest flight offered over the national park. This 45-minute route departs from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. Fly above Kaibab National Forest and its vast Ponderosa pines before the canyon suddenly opens beneath you.
The helicopter follows the Colorado River with aerial views of the Painted Desert, Desert View Watchtower, Point Imperial, and Marble Canyon. One highlight is the dramatic shift in water color where the Little Colorado meets the Colorado River at the Confluence. The flight continues through the famed Dragon Corridor, the deepest and widest section of the canyon.
Together, these tours offer a rare blend of serenity and excitement—first watching the canyon glow under celestial light, then soaring above its immense geological story. Booking both experiences as a package provides convenience, streamlined planning, and exceptional value for travelers wanting the fullest possible perspective of the Grand Canyon in a single day.
