Hi Sue, I did the Grand Canyon trip in September lasy year, and decided to go for it and do the three in one. A light plane took us to the Canyon, and then the helicopter took us down into the Canyon, where we had to walk down a track to the river, and then a short boat ride. The helicopter picked us up and took us back up and then we had a bus ride to another part of thr canyon where you could carry on and doe the skywalk, or have your packed lunch at a picnic area overlooking the canyon. We spent approx one hour there, and then we went back to the heliport for our return. The helicopter ride was quite short, as was the boat ride. I thought we would fly through the canyon and see more of it, but we were just taken down i nto the canyon to the boat. However, I did really enjoy the experience. I didnt do the skywalk though. I hope someone else replies who did one of the other packages to compare.
You will have a wonderful time, and the whole trip is amazing, uou will see so many things and so many places. Just writing this makes me want to go back NOW,! I fell in love with Palm Springs, but it was soooo hot. San Francisco is also fantastic. Oooooh I am so envious. Regards Sheila x
