I’m so glad my husband and I took this tour as a honeymoon gift. What an amazing way to see the beauty of the Grand Canyon and its immediate surroundings. It was our first time in an helicopter and we were a bit nervous. The pilot made all guests very comfortable. We were 6 in total. He also shared valuable information about the canyon. The flight was very stable and the views left me speechless. I would def do it again.

In the age of Covid, the National Park system is open for business; however, it's not business as usual as many parts of the parks are closed. Given the closures, we decided to take a helicopter ride with Maverick Helicopters to see the Grand Canyon from an angle most people will never enjoy. Vern, our pilot and guide, provided educational and interesting commentary during our 45 minute flight. As you might imagine, the views of the already beautiful canyon are absolutely SPECTACULAR from above! Would I do it again? Yes Do I recommend it? Absolutely!

Just seeing the amazing views from the helicopter was awesome. It was breath taking and almost overwhelming. The natural beauty of it all was fascinating. I think the helicopter tour is the only way to see the grand canyon in its entirety. If I was going to comment on one thing, it would be that it was hard to hear the pilot. I tried turning up my earphones but that didn't work, although he did have a mask on, therefore he should of spoke louder.
