Best way to see the Grand Canyon hands down. The views were amazing. Riding in the helicopter definitely put a check on the bucket list!

Very exciting ride, smooth ride for and helicopter, we had nice sunny day. The 45 minutes ride very good to see the Canyon and the surrounding! If you can do the helicopter after seeing the canyon on foot (land) the helicopter ride is over loading you with amazing views, it gives you the impression the you already saw the views! It give the impression that you already been there! Finally, not chip as an activity considering but worth it!
