What to Bring on a Grand Canyon Air Tour

Before you pack your bags, check with your particular air tour company to see if they have restrictions on what you bring aboard. Definitely bring: • A still camera or video camera, the view from the air is entirely different than the view from the rim or below. • Binoculars. Some tours get close enough to the rim and inner canyon for tourists to view native wildlife. • Bring water if the tour is longer than an hour or so. • Bring a sweater or jacket, especially in the winter months. It's cooler the higher you go in elevation, so even if it's hot outside, you may get chilly inside the aircraft. • Try to leave purses and backpacks behind, they can take up too much room and get in the way in small airplanes and helicopters.
