It was my first time flying in a helicopter and I enjoyed every part of it! The pilot was very professional, pleasant & made me feel comfortable the whole flight. She hade lots of knowledge about the areas we flew over, also the flight was very smooth. We flew over the Hover Dam & Grand Canyon then landed on the West Rim where I was able to visit two viewing points. I also got a bird's eye view the strip. I would recommend to anyone rather it's your fist time flying or not.
Awesome experience…….not cheap, but worth every penny. Just book it you will be glad you did!
What a great trip. It was a long day but Carlitos kept us entertained and educated and on time - in Spanish and English! - and Kenny the driver was kind and competent. I learned a great deal. Would highly recommend. The bus was fine. Older and no wifi, but it got the job done.
This was an expensive trip worth every penny. A one off experience I’ll never forget. After the minefield of options and filtering reviews we decided to do the vegas departure round trip with Maverick Helicopters and loved every minute of it. No driving at all except a quick bus at Grand Canyon and Uber to the airport. Shared the helicopter with 2 other couples. Lots of in-air time. Got reseated at each landing too so everyone got to sit all around the helicopter. Had plenty of adventure time at stops and time to snack. Advice…wear sunscreen and bring a large cold water each. The ride was flawless, friendly and lots of facts and knowledge all in good humour from the pilot. In a single word…AWESOME!
We're thrilled you had an awesome adventure and hope you come back and fly with us again, here in Las Vegas or at one of our other locations. Thanks so much for your review, and for flying with us.
If you are on the fence..........just go! It is well worth the money.....not cheap, but you will be glad you did it.
We are glad to hear it was a worthwhile adventure for you. Thanks so much for flying with Maverick Helicopters!
Our pilot was super nice, he gave us some interesting information during the flight. A great experience!
This exhilarating helicopter ride across the Grand Canyon was awesome with breathtaking views. The entire staff from the front desk associates to the pilot were professional and courteous. This is truly the best way to experience this natural wonder.
wonderful experience, pleasant flight, the most beautiful view of the Grand Canyon, experienced and pleasant pilot, a beautiful unforgettable experience to recommend to everyone
The Maverick helicopter tour from Vegas to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon was amazing! Pilot Aaron H was knowledgeable, and funny and caring. He allowed everyone to have a chance to ride in the front. From check-in to the shuttles at the west rim to the return flight - everything was wonderful! Of course, the sights are incredible!
Yes it’s a lot of money but my God!!! Great view of the hoover dam and then over the desert where we put down to refuel in the middle of nowhere, right next to some Joshua trees. Then on to the canyon itself. Absolutely breathtaking views. Put down again and walked over the skywalk before return flight back to Vegas over the strip! Great pilot. Very knowledgable. Would highly recommend!!!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your flight and would recommend your experience! Thank you for sharing and for choosing Maverick Helicopters for your excursion.
