High Praise From Our Guests

See for yourself what our passengers thought about their experience with Scenic Flights of Acadia. We love what we do and it shows!

Nicholas D.

Getting to see Acadia from the sky was such a treat! They have their system down: very smooth booking service through their website, parking right by the main road, easy and fast check-in upon arrival, get on the plane a few minutes later, and off you go. Staff was very pleasant through phone and in-person interactions, helpful with my guest limited mobility… And of course, the flight was great with amazing views of the park and surroundings; the weather wasn’t too shabby either… A 5-star operation all around, definitely recommend joining for a tour if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford it.

We took the Schoodic Point Flight on a beautiful clear morning. Our Pilot was very thorough in prepping us for the flight. The headsets made for a very convenient way of communicating and needing to talk over the plane’s engine. The pilot was very engaging and pointed out points of interest. We were satisfied with our choice of the shorter flight, having been to the area several times and having some familiarity with the topography. If you are a first time, you may want to opt for the All-Acadia flight. Either way, I’m pretty sure, it will be one of the most scenic flight experiences you will ever take.

The folks at Scenic Flights were wonderful from our first call seeking reservations, their follow up in between, and our arrival at their office. The plane was clean as a whistle and ready to go when we arrived, the pilot, a consummate professional with great knowledge of the area. He provided a nice narrative of what we were seeing while not being overwhelming with talking. We have done flightseeing trips all over the world, the Acadia operation is top notch, hence they have been around for decades.

Fabulous experience in a 5-passenger seat plane. Awesome views of Mount Desert Island. Our pilot was the best! Highly recommend him and the organization. All staff were wonderful, helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions, as internet service was spotty. Definitely worth a trip! We took the All-Acadia trip.

My wife and I did this as a splurge event on our trip. We flew around Mount Desert Island and enjoyed the views. The weather was great that day and the ride was smooth.

Airplane Tours to the Grand Canyon & Beyond

Discover the wonders of the American Southwest from the sky aboard a world-class sightseeing airplane tour. We offer airplane tours to the Grand Canyon National Park, the Grand Canyon West Rim, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and more. Soar into adventure with an airplane tour from Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines.

Why Choose an Airplane tour?

The Southwest acts as host to some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in United States and the world. Although exploring these beautiful terrains on your own can be fun and exciting, we believe the best way to experience the Grand Canyon and surrounding landscapes in their entirety is from the air. Here are just a few advantages of an airplane tour of the Southwest.

• If you're strapped for time, aerial tours are perfect. During an airplane tour, you can soar over a week's worth of destinations in one jam-packed adventure.
• Our Twin Otter Vistaliner airplanes can fit up to 19 passengers each, making them the perfect family or group-bonding activity. On an air tour over the Southwest, your group is sure to make memories that you can share together for a lifetime.
• Beginner, amateur, and professional photographers alike will benefit from the unique perspectives from out of an airplane window. Have your camera ready to snap a few great pictures to commemorate your experience.
• You can stick to a budget and have a great time. Airplanes use less fuel than helicopters, so they are generally the more budget-friendly aerial tour option.

Who Should Book an Airplane Tour?

If you are excited by the thought of soaring over some of the most majestic landscapes in the country, bonding with your family or friends, or want to connect with other like-minded adventurers, an airplane tour could be right for you.

That all sounds incredible! But the next question is, who should stay grounded instead? If you suffer from motion sickness, have a deep fear of heights, suffer from cardiovascular or heart problems, or are in your third trimester of pregnancy, opting for a ground excursion may be a better fit. But never fear! We at Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines still offer multiple incredible tours of the Grand Canyon and beyond that don't involve flight.

Departure Terminals for Airplane Tours

Experience the wonders of the Southwest with Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines. We offer Page, Arizona and Grand Canyon airplane tours that depart from four locations.

They gave my daughter a cute birthday bag of delicious cookies! We didnt wait long, and the Pilot, Dan, came and introduced himself, gave us some history of the airplanes and a wonderful tour. He was very thorough, and made it so fun for all of us. We got some amazing pictures, and we definitely will be recommending this to everyone!" Rebecca
