Sunset Helicopter Tour Over Red Rock Canyon with Bluff Landing & Champagne Toast

The Experience
Before You Go
Check ID and weight rules early
Bring a government-issued photo ID and report accurate weights during booking — seats are assigned by weight for FAA safety and comfort.
Arrive 30 minutes early to check in
All guests must check in at least 30 minutes before departure; late arrivals risk cancellation with no refund.
Dress for wind and chill on the bluff
Temperatures drop after sunset and the bluff can be breezy; a light insulated or windproof jacket makes the landing comfortable.
Secure loose gear for the flight
Use a zippered camera bag or strap down hats and phones — rotor wash will toss unsecured items.
