Grand Canyon Airplane Tour + IMAX Experience
This Las Vegas tour combines a spectacular 45-minute flight over the Grand Canyon South Rim with an educational IMAX cinema experience. You'll soar above the Kaibab National Forest and witness dramatic rock formations carved by the Colorado River, then watch the acclaimed "Rivers of Time" film on an 82-foot screen.
The aerial portion takes you over major landmarks including the Kaibab Plateau, Imperial Point, and the Zuni Corridor. From your window seat, you'll see the stark contrast between dense ponderosa pine forests and the canyon's colourful stone walls stretching to the horizon. The Colorado River appears as a silver thread winding through the ancient landscape far below.
After landing, the IMAX Theater experience brings the canyon's geological and cultural history to life through surround sound and cinema-scale visuals. The Rivers of Time movie covers Native American legends, early exploration tales, and the natural forces that shaped this UNESCO World Heritage site over millions of years.
