Our pilot spent an extra 15 minutes in the canyon with us making it over an hour. He was fabulous and made sure we saw, photographed and video taped all the good stuff! I would highly recommend them!

One of the highlights of our 3 week US holiday. Our Helicopter flight/tour the “Canyon Spirit - Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour”, departed from Tusayan airport just 5 minutes from our hotel and about 5 minutes flight from the south rim of the canyon. We had visited the Grand Canyon(south rim) back in April 1983. Back then the highlight was our 4hr walk along one of the trails down into the canyon. More recently we have been on several helicopter flights in outback Australia so our expectations were high. As spectacular as Australia’s outback is, nothing prepared us for this wonderful 45-50minute flight over the Grand Canyon. The views were absolutely spectacular, the flight was just wonderful although a little bumpy due to strong winds. Our pilot gave us a fascinating commentary. I would recommend this flight no matter how much it challenges you budget. The US$299 cost us approximately AUS$390 each and we are pensioners.

I booked the tour from Australia and even used the online chat. Very friendly service and managed to book the right tour at the right time. We were coming from Vegas too. Made it on time and even got on the earlier flight...had the chopper all to ourselves. It was the first chopper flight for my sons (12&14). They both sat in the front. Pilot was young, professional and had a great play list. We loved every second and the landing in the canyon. Trip of a lifetime! Thanks Maverick for the experience! Would recommend to all.
