Maverick really spoiled us. They put my 2 boys up front so they got the best views and the pilot (Chris) was informative and entertaining. Superb value and easy to find. Previously used Papillon on a past visit, but Maverick are so much slicker. Great experience and souvenir plaque was also value for money.

This is by far the best way to admire the Grand Canyon, is not cheap but, in my humble opinion, it is worth every dollar. The pilot will give you explanation of what you are seeing and happily answer all your questions during flight, the best moment is when the helicopter “drops” over the edge of south rim to enter the canyon, absolutely jaw dropping experience. Then the helicopter will head towards the north rim and complete a fully circular flight back over the Colorado river. After the flight we went to see the viewpoints and they were not that impressive.

Superb trip...well worth digging deep and paying for it. Our family of 5 all thought it was by far the best part of our 3 week road trip of the USA. Staff really helpful and great pilot. Felt very safe yet exhilarated.
