On October 3, 1927 a Stinson Detroiter took off from a small rural airport near the Grand Canyon. Grand Discovery Tour and indeed grand canyon airplane tours themselves were invented by Grand Canyon Airlines on that day. Since then GCA has flown over a million passengers on the Grand Discovery tour and shown them the famous and beautiful parts of the Grand Canyon. This tour is perfect for those wanting to see the vastness of the canyon without draining their pocket book. Hourly departures from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport head for the eastern part of Grand Canyon, cross over the canyon at Zuni Point Pass, placing both the Painted Desert and the Navajo Indian Reservation on display just to the east along the Colorado River. The tour then changes course to fly over the north rim showing guests the Kaibab Plateau and Kaibab National Forest.
The price includes a $10 Fuel Surcharge Fee
Why not combine your visit to the Discovery Tour with other famous attractions and activities in Grand Canyon such as zooming across the Grand Canyon with Flightlinez or Grayline Las Vegas + IMAX Tickets
