This experience exceeded all of our expectations. Great service from friendly professionals. Our pilot Tucker was so nice and very informative. Had lots of information and shared it well. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Flood cancel
Only giving 1 start because our trip was flooded out due to the rain. After waiting for over an hour we were informed that it was canceled. Waiting for a refund from aviator.
Response from the operator: A_J, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how disappointing it is when weather prevents a tour from operating. If you have not already done so, please contact our Guest Relations team at guestrelations@papillon.com so we can review your experience.

We had a very good...
We had a very good experience on this tour. Our pilot, and his copilot trainee, were very friendly and helpful and made us all comfortable. We benefitted from great weather so the views from the air were phenomenal and ride wasn't too bumpy, a plus for me. Highlights for us were the plane ride and Antelope Canyon. Beautiful beyond belief with friendly pilots and a great guide for the Antelope Canyon tour.

Awesome! Use caution if easily motion sick.
My fiancé and I had a great time with this experience! For the most part, which I will get into monetarily. The first plane ride was beautiful and absolutely stunning! We also really loved the bus tour to Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. All the guides were so friendly and helpful. We both agreed the trip was well worth the money and we had a blast. My only complaint has nothing to do with the company or the tours, but it’s more of a word of caution. If you get motion sickness, you may not be the best candidate for the plane ride. On the way up, it was colder temp (42°F or so) and there were not really any winds, so we had a smooth ride. However, on the ride back to the meetup spot, it had gotten significantly warmer to about 62°F and it was very windy. Let me tell you, this does not make for a smooth ride! This is no fault of the pilot or the company, it’s simply just how flying works. I did throw up on the way back and there was a ton of shaking in the plane. I still would recommend this experience but maybe take a Dramamine or something if you can.

The Lower antelope valley...
The Lower antelope valley canyon tour is a fantastic place but not too kid friendly or for people with any ambulatory issues.

Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Grand Canyon National Park.
How much does Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane cost?
+
Prices start at $564 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Grand Canyon National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Grand Canyon National Park is not rushed.
Is Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Grand Canyon National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Grand Canyon National Park can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Grand Canyon National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Adventure by Airplane start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Grand Canyon National Park within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Grand Canyon National Park?
+
The Grand Canyon splits into three very different products: South Rim ground tours, helicopter and fixed-wing flights, and Colorado River rafting days. Most visitors arrive from Las Vegas, Sedona or Flagstaff, so drive time is the number one factor in how good the day feels. Our ranking treats total transit hours as part of the value calculation, not a footnote. On Outty we rank every Grand Canyon National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Hour Biblical Creation + Sunset Tour • Grand Canyon National Park South Rim, 3 Hour Off-Road Sunset Safari to Grand Canyon with Entrance Gate Detour, Grand Canyon Signature Hummer Tour with Optional Sunset Views. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Grand Canyon National Park?
+
March to May and September to November. South Rim stays open year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Grand Canyon National Park?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
