We had the best trip - the whole setup is professional, safe, efficient and friendly. I would recommend a helicopter over the Grand Canyon to anyone who wants a real perspective of its beauty, scale and diversity. Maverick seems to be the best operator in the area for sure.

We saw the Grand Canyon from the Park, magnificent and breathtaking. Later we saw the Grand Canyon from the air, even more magnificent and breathtaking. We advise you to make a helicopterfligth over the Grand Canyon if possible. The fligth was very stable so I can imagine that people who are a little bit airsick can enjoy the fligth as well. We did sit in the back near the windows and had a good visibility. We were told that you can see big game like bison and mountainlion as well from the air you are lucky. We did not see any wildlife but it did not matter, the fligth over the Grand Canyon was a one in a livetime experience. I can remove this item from my bucketlist with a big smile on my face.
