Located at Grand Canyon National Park Airport, Papillon South Rim helicopter tours depart from a terminal built with guest service in mind. Easily able to accommodate 1,000 passengers a day, this facility features an expansive glass staging area -where visitors have a 180 degree view of the arriving and departing aircraft.
The South Rim Terminal serves as a launch point for our North Canyon Tour, Imperial Air Tour, South Rim Airplane Tour and Canyon Smooth Water Bus Trip. When it comes to exploring the Grand Canyon South Rim, there's no better place to start your adventure.
Grand Canyon South Rim is by far the most popular spot and the hub to visit this natural treasure. Located in northern Arizona, South Rim is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and it is the activity, transportation, and accommodation hub of Grand Canyon National Park.
You can just about do it all at the Grand Canyon South Rim; hiking, camping, helicopter and airplane tours, mule rides and Hummer tours all while staying in a historic hotel directly on the Rim that offers fine dining!
This is also where the Grand Canyon Visitors Center is located, the park's most historic buildings and attractions, such as Bright Angel Lodge, and is the terminus for the Grand Canyon Railway.
Located in the Kaibab National Forest, this area offers a different experience with every season. Wildflowers bloom along the Kaibab Plateau in the spring, aspen leaves turn golden yellow in the fall, and canyon walls become lightly powdered in snow in the winter. Unlike other rims, the South Rim is open year round, so there is never a bad time to visit.
The South Rim is the most developed out of the rim areas, which means there are more services available here than most parts of the canyon. It also means the area can be prone to crowds. Peak season for the South Rim is in the summer, May through September. While the summer offers some of the best weather for the area, other seasons bring less of a crowd and offer a more private experience. No matter what season you plan to visit, you'll want to make sure you plan your trip well in advance. For more information check out our Grand Canyon National Park Guide.
