The helicopter ride was as smooth as silk, the pilot was experienced, and a fabulous guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the views were so spectacular ! The Skywalk was really fantastic, and we enjoyed the slight rock climbing we did after the tram ride out to the other site ( blanking out on the name). A great experience all in all!
We’re so glad your West Rim helicopter tour from Las Vegas was such a smooth and memorable experience! The incredible views, Skywalk, and time exploring the canyon make for an amazing day, and it’s wonderful to hear your pilot made the flight even better, Vandella.
What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Every single person who we came into contact with were amazing, friendly and professional. Pick up was on time, and speedy on our departure from our return leg. A special thank you to Elliot our pilot, friendly and funny, shown us all the points while flying in the air. Between Elliot and the ground staff we felt in very safe hands. We felt like VIP’s
We’re thrilled your VIP West Rim helicopter tour from Las Vegas felt special from beginning to end! Elliot and our ground team take pride in making guests feel welcome, informed, and well cared for, and it’s great to hear that came through.
The excursion was wonderful! We had a smooth helicopter ride, the pilot was friendly and capable, the Sky Walk was exhilarating, the meal to go was satisfying, and the history of the Hualapai people was sobering and realistic. Our only complaint is that we NEVER got any indication of what time to be at the hotel for pickup. Everything in our paperwork said 11:30, so at 9:30, when the driver called me, my daughter and I had to scramble to get ready, drive ourselves to the airport, and made the tour with five minutes to spare—there must be better communication! The trip was my daughter’s birthday gift. I would’ve been heartbroken to have missed it. Be clear with the pickup time, or call guests the day before with the time for pickup. Better yet, put it in the multiple emails that I received, none of which stated anything but 11:30.
Sheryn, we’re so glad the smooth flight, Skywalk, and time at the West Rim made your daughter’s birthday celebration so special. It sounds like a wonderful day filled with memorable views, great service, and a meaningful connection to the Hualapai people.
Our pilot Rafael was excellent! He alleviated any fears we had of flying in heli first time. Wish we had more time to spend on the rim. Only bad was disorganization at the rim. Staff misdirected us. Didn’t know how lunch p/u worked so we wasted time.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Rafael made your first helicopter flight comfortable and memorable. It’s always special to welcome first-time flyers and leave them excited to fly again. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Grand Canyon adventure soon!
Taking the helicopter gave us not only gorgeous views but the time needed to do all the excursions available on the ground. Our pilot was wonderful, informative, and funny. Recommend this experience for all ages.
This was worth the money! Very professionally run company and our pilot Rafael was entertaining, well versed on the history of the area and pointed out sites as we practically floated by. The ride included headsets so rotor noise was minimal and we could hear the pilot and ask questions. Lunch was included and we ate at Guana Point overlooking the canyon. Great view! The lunch was listed as a takeaway lunch but it was like home cooked pot roast, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and biscuit. We paid extra for the Skywalk and that was an amazing view to below. All-in-all a great trip!
This was an amazing experience. The pilot was very informative, polite, and friendly. The views from the helicopter were amazing. This was definitely a bucket list experience.
Please remember to take I.d. An absolutely brilliant excursion from start to finish. From information, pick up tour it’s self right to the end, just amazing. The lady that booked us in was so helpful. Our pilot Mike was so good at relaxing everyone and his information and humour was worth the trip itself. Absolutely first class and the scenery…just jaw dropping. This tour is a must and well worth flying from the UK to Vegas and taking this unforgettable tour which we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you all.
Great, smooth ride. We were 1st time helicopter riders. Pilot, Robin, kept us laughing and relaxed.
It’s a lot of walking! It is hot and drink lots of water. Sunshades a must and cap is nice to have. It’s a beautiful place!!
