Soar above the landscapes of Arizona on helicopter and airplane tours that show you aerial views of the intricate formations of Antelope Canyon and the dramatic curves of Horseshoe Bend. Whether you choose a thrilling helicopter ride or a scenic airplane flight, each tour gives you unforgettable views and a closer look at the area’s geological marvels. Scroll through to find your next aerial adventure.
A helicopter or airplane tour offers a spectacular bird’s-eye view of Antelope Canyon's winding sandstone formations and the stunning 270-degree turn of Horseshoe Bend, giving you a perspective you can only get from above.
Make the most of your visit to the region by not only exploring the canyon on foot, but also getting in some air time. The tour allows you to see multiple landmarks in a shorter period of time.
While ground tours show you the intricate details up close, an aerial tour shows you vast, otherwise unreachable areas that highlight the sheer scale of the Southwest’s rock structures and desert terrain.
The reds, oranges, and yellows of the terrain along with the dramatic shadows and contrasts, are even more striking from the air. You will be able to capture sweeping shots of both Horseshoe Bend’s perfect curve and Antelope Canyon.
Gliding over these iconic formations is an experience that combines the thrill of flight with the serenity of the region’s natural beauty, making for a memorable adventure–whether it’s your first visit or a return trip to Arizona’s canyon lands.
An Antelope Canyon helicopter tour offers aerial views of one of the most iconic slot canyons in the American Southwest and the red-orange landscapes in its vicinity. Each tour is led by experienced pilots who share fascinating insights about the region’s history, geology, and cultural significance.
You have the option to buy tickets for a helicopter tour or an airplane tour separately. You can even opt to go on both by purchasing tickets individually since the experiences are completely different from each other.
An airplane tour usually offers a broader view of the entire canyon and nearby landmarks, flying at higher altitudes and covering a larger area over a longer period of time. Helicopter tours provide a closer, more intimate experience at lower altitudes and are ideal for those looking to focus specifically on Antelope Canyon.
The weight limit for the aircraft used for the airplane tours is 300 pounds (136 kg) per passenger. This can vary based on the specific flight and operational requirements, so check with the airline for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding weight restrictions and policies.
Each helicopter tour passenger's weight is limited to 300 pounds (136 kg) to ensure safety and compliance with aircraft weight restrictions.
Dress comfortably, wearing layered clothing and closed-toe shoes. Even though helicopters are climate-controlled, desert weather can vary. Sunglasses are highly recommended to protect your eyes from glare.
Helicopter tours are a great activity for your family to do together. Some operators may have age restrictions for children under two years old for safety reasons. We recommend you only take along children over the age of 2.
Absolutely! Solo travelers are welcome and grouped with other visitors. It’s a great way to meet fellow adventurers and enjoy a guided experience of this scenic marvel.
No, helicopters do not have restroom facilities. You can use the toilets available at the terminal before boarding.

The tour was awesome. But I asked if my reservation was for an helicopter ride. The client service said yes. But it was not. It was an aircraft ride. I was very desappointed.
Nothing to do with the place it was more about the time and things included in the tour. Our flight was 1.5 hrs delated at boulder airport so we missed our tour , no audio on airplane, we missed our tour guides in both places, antelope and horseshoe, we didn't have time for lunch and we were rush at horseshoe 15min to take pictures only. Back to airport no airplane was there we wait more than 30mt. Our reservation showed this tour was for 10 hours 30minutes, start time 10am and end time 9:30pm. We were back at the hotel at 7p.m. Our tour included light meal, we didn't have nothing and no even time to buy something. At the airport counter in Boulder city they promised to us some kind of refund per person and nothing yet, no refund, we are still waiting. Could you please let us know the status of our claim Cesar Rivera
