About Zion Helicopters
Zion Helicopters operates scenic flights over the Zion region from a base on State Route 9 in Virgin, just west of Springdale on the main approach to the national park. The company offers a bird's-eye alternative to hiking, lifting guests above the canyons, mesas and slickrock that surround Zion.
Their tours range from short introductory flights to longer excursions that sweep over the deep canyons, towering cliffs and remote backcountry that most visitors never see from the ground. Because the flights depart from just outside the park boundary, pilots can showcase the dramatic landscape of the greater Zion area, including sandstone formations and river gorges, with narration on the geology and history below. Charter and custom flights are also available for special occasions and photography.
The appeal is straightforward: a helicopter flight compresses miles of rugged terrain into a few unforgettable minutes and delivers perspectives impossible on foot. For travellers short on time or wanting a signature experience, Zion Helicopters provides a professionally flown, high-impact way to take in the scale of the Zion landscape.
