Perfect ! Good organization, friendly people, highly recommended. (Off course a negative recommendation for the price .. very expensive)
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, Kris! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the smooth organization, friendly service, and unforgettable views of the Grand Canyon. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you aboard again!
It was very fun and spectacular views of the Gand canyon. We did it for my grandsons birthday. Worth it and our pilot, Frederick was great too. So much info- we will remember for ever.
Thank you, Linda! We're happy to hear you and your grandson had a fantastic birthday celebration with breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. It's great to know that Frederick made the experience memorable with his insights.
This was the most spectacular view you could imagine. The staff is amazing giving you piece of mind to those who have never experienced a helicopter ride.
It's awesome. I would recommend it to everyone. I thought I'd be so scared of being up in the air and riding the helicopter. But our pilot, a women i mist say, was very good at what she does and made us feel safe.
Filth was on time and all staff/pilot were very professional.
Don’t get there too early. Nothing to do while you wait. The ride itself was amazing. The drop into the canyon was smooth and breathtaking. Expensive but worth it to do one time.
Very crowded helicopter with relatively small windows and which seemed to have seen its best days. I sat with my back to the direction of travel so the experience was not at all what I intended. And the Lobster tour ran the same loop as the free shuttle buses that you can get on and off where and when you want. So I would advise against that.
It’s a once in a lifetime experience. Even with the wind our pilot did a great job keeping the flight smooth and the views were spectacular
We completely enjoyed the experience with Nick as our pilot. My grandson and I both had an unforgettable experience. I really felt it was worth the expense.
Superb I recommend Superb I recommend Superb I recommend Superb I recommend Superb I recommend
