Lovely champagne toast
Jacqueline_T, Mar 2024
Awesome trip with very knowledgeable pilot. Pilot made the whole thing feel very safe. Landing in the canyon and flying back over the strip was great. Definitely recommend.
Beautiful views
Deana_K, Mar 2024
My husband and I took the trip. We did not know the other passengers. Pilot (Leah) was great, super agreeable and knowledgeable. My biggest disappointment was that we didn't really get to a good view of the Hoover Dam. We were on the other side of the chopper. One of the passengers got ill so we ended up not having as much time at the canyon. We left the airport around 11:50 and we were back before 2:00. So we actually had barely 2 hours, not the 3-4 hours I expected.
Breathtaking experience start to finish
Roger_J, Mar 2024
Check in and flight was great. Had an amazing experience being down in the canyon. Flight back was also great. Pilot was very knowledgeable and informative. Enjoyed every part from check in to finish. Pick up was not pleasant. Scheduled pick up was at 5:45 at Balligo. Got a call at 5:30 saying they had waited 10 minutes. I told them we were halfway between cosmopolitan and balligo. The caller said they only wait 10 minutes with no exceptions even though they were 20 minutes early. I called uber to get to the airport.
Great trip

Out of this world 🤩
Julia_W, Mar 2024
This has been the best experience whilst in Vegas. Tom our bus driver was so welcoming and the girls on the desk were polite and helpful. We had a lovely group of people with us on our helicopter which made the day even more special. Sidney our pilot was fantastic. She was so cheerful and knowledgeable and a number one pilot. She flew us to the Grand Canyon with ease and landed safely to enjoy the views and champagne lunch. The views were out of this world and I met my first chipmunk. We then boarded the helicopter for our trip back via the strip. Thanks a million for a wonderful day 🥰 Julia & Stephen from Scotland

Breathtaking views!
Shelley_M, Mar 2024
Absolute incredible. Well organised and breathtaking scenery. Our pilot Gerard was amazing. Very reassuring and knowledgeable. A trip not to he missed!
Awful
Jessica_L, Feb 2024
Awful experience, didn’t even get to go. Weight issues due to people putting in their wrong weight which delayed trip. They gave us the option to fly around without landing on canyon floor which is why we paid $1200 to do it. We chose a refund after wasting 2.5 hours of our night.
Grand Canyon by music
