Located at the Grand Canyon Airport which is in Tusayan Maverick Helicopters is ideally situated for sightseeing tours of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon as it takes only perhaps 5 minutes from take off to be actually in the air over the canyon. The journey to the airport from Grand Canyon Village which is where the train from Williams brought us to tak es 15 to 20 minutes by taxi and cost around $30 each way. The cab firm also stipulated payment in cash. That may change as time goes on but at the moment it seems that for them cash is the only lingua franca. Anyway we were not aware of this until the day before our flight which is when passengers have to re confirm their bookings with the chopper company. Another possible problem that you may have to overcome is the fact that the cell phone network in the area of the canyon is very poor and we had to seek help from the staff at the rail terminal to make the necessary calls. I say calls because on our day the winds were very strong and so we also wanted to check if the flight would be going ahead. After getting to the Maverick helicopter terminal we found the staff to be excellent and after checking in and weighing in too we were looked after very well until departure. Our helicopter and another both returned from the tours that they were engaged on at that time and then after reports from their pilots as to the weather conditions for flying that day. The winds being rather strong and so it was decided that it was not wise to take the longer 45 minute flight that we had originally booked and we were given an option of a full refund or we could take the shorter 25 minute flight which we gladly accepted. I must say that although we missed out on the extra time and distance we still had a wonderful experience flying a mile up over the Colorado river and round the dragon in the hands of a very highly skilled pilot and in a lovely, comfortable modern helicopter. I think that whichever option suits your budget or your desire this is a great way to experience the magnificence of this wonderful place. Full marks to both the ground and air crew at Maverick.
