Why do I need to give you my body weight if I'm taking an air or helicopter tour?
For your safety, the aircraft must be weight balanced. The passenger body weights are entered as computer data, which determines where you will sit on the aircraft.

Can ashes be dropped from a helicopter or airplane?
Ashes cannot be dropped from any of the air tours. You would need to charter a private helicopter or airplane.

Are the airplanes & helicopters pressurized?
No, smaller, low altitude aircraft are not pressurized. The altitude is not high enough for this to be necessary.

What is the best time of day to take pictures at the Grand Canyon?
Typically the afternoon has less haze and the sun hits the canyon just right. Need to say that it's beautiful at all times but the afternoon is better for pictures.

What is the difference between the South Rim, West Rim & North Rim?
The South Rim is the wider and deeper part of the canyon. It is the more commercialized part of the Grand Canyon. The West Rim is just as beautiful, but far more rustic and undeveloped. This part of the canyon is also known as "Indian Country" due to the number of Indian Reservations that occupy the land. The North Rim has higher cliff faces and more forest like settings. They're all beautiful with awesome views.

I have seen cheaper tours advertised elsewhere although you guarantee the lowest price.
We are confident that our prices are the lowest available online or at the destination, and we guarantee to match any cheaper price you may find. We are a proud member of the Bureau of Consumer Affairs [is this true?], Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce and do not falsely advertise teaser or misleading prices. With a little investigation you will find that some of our competitiors' advertised prices are not the actual price of the tour -- the price advertised often does not include tax, fuel fees, or park entry fees.

How soon should we reserve our tours?
Tours do sell out! Some tours sell out more quickly than others, but, we do recommend booking as soon as possible so you can lock in our current prices and avoid last-minute booking fees. Please remember that if you arrive without a tour reservation, we may be sold out and if seats are available we cannot guarantee you will receive the lowest price. If you prefer not to book in advance, you can give us a call, and we can usually accommodate some last-minute bookings. As a reminder there are no charges for changes made prior to 24 hours before your tour if you need to maintain some flexibility in your schedule, but wish to book in advance.
