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!!
Absolutely phenomenal ride through the West Rim of the Grand Canyon! Our pilot, Sam was awesome, and gave us a very smooth "float" through the canyon walls. That is the best way to view the national landmark!
The Grand Canyon itself was amazing but much better in the helicopter 🚁... this tour you got to do both.... Michaela was amazing.... I would request her as you pilot
Just an amazing experience, a unique experience it was one of the happiest days of my life, the choppers, the boat, the plane, the two female airplane pilots were amazingly kind and they pivoted like real chefs. Yeah, really. It’s just a beautiful experience.
Flying over the Grand Canyon is the best way to appreciate its vastness. We did that, walked over the Skywalk, and ended at Guano Point (which is better than the Skywalk!). David was an informative and funny pilot. Highly recommend the trip.
