Grand Canyon South Rim: Airplane Tour

2025.05.18

I booked a scenic airplane tour because I wanted to see the Grand Canyon properly, and it was a godsend.
 Honestly, it's incomparable to just seeing it from the observatory.

 The plane was smaller than I thought, so I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as it took off, all I could say was, "Wow..."
 Starting from the South Rim, you circle the Grand Canyon. The view of the canyon and the Colorado River from above is truly indescribable. Photos and videos can never capture this feeling.

 The flight time was not burdensome, and it was more fun because the pilot gave a brief explanation in the middle.
 I was worried about motion sickness, but it was more stable than I thought, so it was fine.
 However, there is quite a bit of airplane noise, so it would be more comfortable if you bring earphones or earplugs.

 It's a bit pricey, but if you come all the way to the Grand Canyon and don't do this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
 For those of you who are thinking about just looking at it from the observation deck… definitely ride it. I highly recommend it.
