Its a fun, non-crowded, way to see the grand canyon. If you get stuck in the middle in the back row you don't have great views. A Sun filter is a must for your camera for decent photos. It's expensive, but a bucket list thing to do. And kids don't have much of an appreciation 4 the experience.

We had a 12.45 pm scheduled tour which got postponed due to weather to 4.30pm. we showed up at 4pm and we were right away taken for the flight. Luckily me and my parents got the front seats alongside the pilot Robert. The views are mesmerizing and Robert was very knowledgeable of the Grand canyon and the kaibab forest. The tour lasted exactly for 45 min. Maverick Helicopters offered great and friendly service. After shopping around a lot, I was able to get the new member discount with Viator and got this tour for $249.9 per person. Great deal and awesome experience.

Avoid the “Griswald - Vacation” experience and see the Grand Canyon the right way - from the air! This was a once in a lifetime experience to see the majesty of the Grand Canyon from the bird’s eye view. The helicopter ride allowed us to see all areas of the canyon in 40 minutes. From the land, you cannot see the beauty that is at the bottom of each canyon like you can from the air. Our guide was BJ. He had the perfect amount of humor without trying to be funny. He was informative and pointed out a number of interesting formations and historical facts. I highly recommend Maverick Helicopters!
