An experience not to be missed. Company was exceptionally professional and provided us with a great appreciation of how vast and beautiful the Grand Canyon is. Was a better experience by far than actually going into the Park and viewing the Canyon on foot. Suggest you do this flight as a priority when visiting. And at a much more reasonable price than helicopter flights.
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! We’re thrilled that your flight with Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines gave you such an unforgettable perspective on the vast beauty of the Grand Canyon. There truly is no better way to appreciate its incredible scale, and we’re so glad you found the experience both memorable and a great value!
It is fantastic to see the Grand Canyon from above. Compliments to the pilot who was very skilled and kind. Recommended if you do not suffer from turbulence because unfortunately it is a highly windy area.
Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza! Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la spettacolare vista aerea del Grand Canyon e la professionalità e gentilezza del nostro pilota. Grazie per la raccomandazione e speriamo di accoglierla nuovamente a bordo!
What an amazing perspective that is gained by having a little extra altitude! The grand canyon is breathtaking no matter how you see it, and ive been there several three times now, but taking the air tour was well worth the money and time spent. The planes have nice big windows for getting the best view possible, and all 8 of us were able to go together and we could have easily brought that many more. Quite reasonable price for such a memorable way to explore one of the 7 wonders of the world. The only caution I would give is there can be a little turbulence, as is comon on smaller aircraft, so be mindful of small children and those with a sensitive stomach, and plan to fly on at a low wind time if bringing them along. Don't think about it to long though seats fill up fast, just book and go see what im talking about.
What an experience, it was a bumpy ride through the air layers but what an experience to see the mighty Grand Canyon from the air. Wow
The flight was quite turbulent due to stronger winds, but the view was amazing! Unfortunately, from takeoff to landing, it was only about 35 minutes instead of 40-45, hence only 4 points.
This 13-viewing passenger plane will have a few bumps or dips, as expected, but it gives a great variety from straight Rim views. Request to be by one of the alternating, bigger rather than smaller windows if you aim to get lots of video or photos. The high up views of both Rims and views of the little river are worth the price and bumps, too.
There was so much turbulence, I threw up on the flight. That was a first for me. Also, the trip was advertised as including The Painted Desert and it was not included. That was something I really wanted to see.
Exceeded my ecxpectations. They were very organized. It was very windy, but I felt like I was in great hands. And I have a fear of heights and I never looked away. There is no better way to see the Grand Canyon.
Old bumpy planes with oily smell. Hope someone does safety inspections on these flights
SO glad we booked this!! Beautiful view and friendly pilots. Wish audio had taught more. One of our 3 family members became ill morning of 4pm flight, so we called right away to let airline know (understanding no refund b/c within 24hrs) — remaining 2 went as scheduled . . . wish there had been some other option offered like a voucher or copy of flight video.
