Ever dreamt of seeing the Grand Canyon from EVERY angle? At Buck Wild Hummer Tours, we’re not just showing you the Grand Canyon; we’re giving you the ultimate tour of its most iconic viewpoints, both from the sky and right on the ground. Forget missing out on the best photo ops or wondering what you’re even looking at—we’ve got you covered with our incredible Helicopter and Hummer Combo Tours!

First Up: Your Sky-High Spectacular—The Helicopter Tour!

Imagine taking flight from Tusayan, Arizona, heading straight into the heart of the Grand Canyon. Our helicopter tours aren’t just rides; they’re narrated journeys over the most famous Grand Canyon viewpoints that you simply can’t see from the ground.

  • The Grandeur of the Rims: You’ll literally soar over both the North and South Rims, grasping the sheer scale and jaw-dropping contrasts between them. From up here, you’ll see how these massive walls cradle diverse wildlife and tell stories millions of years old.
  • A Forest from Above: Witness the sprawling, vibrant green tapestry of the Kaibab National Forest, a stunning contrast to the Canyon’s rugged reds. It’s a sanctuary for wildlife, and from your bird’s-eye view, you’ll appreciate its vital role in the ecosystem.
  • The Mighty Colorado River: Gaze down nearly a mile below at the emerald waters of the Colorado River, winding like a ribbon through ancient rock. This is the very force that carved this magnificent canyon over eons—seeing it from above is truly humbling.
  • Myth & Majesty: The Tower of Ra: Prepare to be captivated by the majestic Tower of Ra, rising like a natural monument. Named after the Egyptian sun god, its intricate layers and vibrant colors are best appreciated from your unique aerial vantage point.
  • Ancient Secrets: The Vishnu Schist: Delve deep into Earth’s history as you fly over the Vishnu Schist, one of the canyon’s oldest rock formations, dating back an incredible 1.7 billion years! Its dark, rugged surfaces tell a dramatic geological story.
  • Through the Dragon Corridor: And get ready for the highlight: flying through the legendary Dragon Corridor. This section is renowned for its sweeping vistas and intricate formations, offering a truly immersive view that comes alive from the air. If you choose our 45-minute flight, you’ll even venture further east for more amazing viewpoints!

Next Up: Your Ground-Level Adventure—The Hummer Tour!

After seeing it from the heavens, it’s time to get down and dirty (well, not dirty, we stay on the paved roads in the National Park, but definitely up-close and personal!) in a former military Humvee customized to provide you with the most comfortable way to explore the viewpoints. 

Your Buck Wild expert guide lives and breathes this Canyon, and they’re ready to show you all the best spots, secrets, and photo ops.

  • Yavapai Point & Geology Museum: Get ready for panoramic views and a deep dive into the Canyon’s formation.
  • Pipe Creek Vista: A stunning spot to take in the vastness and observe the river below.
  • Duck on a Rock: You’ll see exactly why this unique rock formation got its name—a fun, quirky viewpoint!
  • Grandview Point: True to its name, this spot offers grand, sweeping vistas that will leave you breathless.
  • Moran Point: Famous for its incredible geological exposure, showing off the layers of time within the Canyon.

And here’s the kicker: our Hummers seat up to 13 people, meaning more room for your crew than those other guys! Plus, our expert guides don’t just drive; they share fascinating facts about the American Southwest, ancient inhabitants, nature, and how this world wonder came to be. 

Keep your eyes peeled for elk and other wildlife—they often make an appearance!
