The helicopter tour was very cool. We had 4 people on our flight along with the pilot. We were asked if we wanted to upgrade for $60 each to sit in the front, which we opted to do. The pilot played a music soundtrack throughout the flight, which enhanced the trip. We had excellent views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Colorado River into the Grand Canyon. We landed inside the Canyon for around 30 mins for photos and a champagne break with snacks. This was my favorite part! After, we returned to the airstrip and were shuttled by van to the rafting company. The rafting part was interesting—motorized and a bit slow. We were given a boxed lunch that we could eat at our leisure. I would bring a jacket for this portion. It was sometimes windy and water would spray up at the boat and a bit cool.
