Grand Canyon Cruises and Helicopter Tours from Sedona
There aren’t many ways to make the Grand Canyon even more stunning than it already is, but a helicopter flight into the canyon is one of the few ways to make it more unique. Fly into the canyon for a rare view of the world landmark all the way to the Colorado River.
There you can ride a pontoon boat down the breathtaking river. This is one of the best and most unique ways to explore the 6,000-foot-deep canyon, and a great way to spend a day before returning to beautiful Sedona.
Nearby Flagstaff is Worth Exploring Too
If you are including the Grand Canyon in your Sedona vacation, Flagstaff is a popular city to visit as well, and is on the way. Stroll through the charming downtown area stopping at microbreweries and cafes, visit Lowell Observatory, visit the Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course, or stop and grab a bite to eat at Heritage Square.
