Binoculars are supplied for each boat along with snacks and juice, with baked goods coming fresh from the Jackson Hole Bakery, a local favourite.

Hi Ben,

I'm also on this tour leaving on 9 Sept and the excursions sound amazing! I presume we can pay for the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley flights either before we go or by credit card when there? Someone said that helicopters don't fly to the bottom of the Grand Canyon any more, rather just fly above it - is that true? Just curious, as I did the three in one Grand Canyon trip on America's Golden West two years ago (helicopter, boat ride and bus trip) and would prefer just a heli ride over the canyon this time anyhow.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Ben, another question - I know it's early days, but how many are booked on the 9 Sept departure so far and is it cleared to operate?

Cheers,

Good morning Bob,

Apologies for the delay in replying; you are able to book that particular excursion in resort and would need to pay for it with cash. Alternatively, you can pre book it via our contact centre, in which case, you could use a debit or credit card,

I hope that helps,

Kindest,

Ben

Thanks Ben, I'll definitely pre-book then rather than have to take a large amount of cash with me. Can't wait, getting excited already!!

Cheers,

Bob
