Apart from the last 10 minutes of yesterday we had an awesome day...my son and I both had to use sick bags just as we were coming back into Sedona! Lol I found the tour on trip adviser and after a couple of emails back and forward between Australia and Arizona we knew that this was the trip of a lifetime. It’s hard to pick a favourite bit of the tour as the scenery was awesome from start to finish, our Pilot/ tour guide Henry was fantastic and we loved his sense of humour. I think we were a little spoilt because it was just the four of us and apart from the queue for lunch and the queue for photos on the airwalk we were straight into everything. The food for lunch was probably my least favourite part, but who could argue with the view while eating it. Definitely lived up to, and even surpassed our expectations, even with a little air sickness.

I cannot recommend this company and ots beyond accomadationing services enough! To start, I am not a huge planner because my life is so uncertain and unpredictable in my line of business. I messaged Westwind Air and IMMEDIATELY recieved a phone call back from Val. She had fantastic news for me… they still had 2 available openings for the time amd date I preferred, with less then 18 hours motice I had given her regarding the Grand Canyon West Rim tour. Where do I begin? Let's start with my arrival to Deer Valley Airport where we depart. I was greeted by Val herself, with snacks refreshments and a phone charger ( which is standard for anyone waiting at the lounge) I arrived an hour early expecting things to be a little busy, but I was checked in-and-out within one minute! Wow! Delightful! Soon after we were given about 5 minute notification for departure anyone who needs to use the bathroom now's your chance even the bathroom was amazing! If there is anything you forgot to do or bring before you came to West wind air service they had already thought of it! Now, on to the amazing adventure. Henry would be our pilot for the day and accompanying us on the tour. Considering this was the 1st time I had ever flown on a 10 passenger plane I requested to sit next to the pilot, permission granted! Thanks Val again! Perhaps a once in a lifetime experience? And off we flew with a guided tour via headsets from Phoenix to the West rim of the Grand Canyon. Once we arrived at the Grand Canyon airport we were immediately escorted over to of the helicopters. Again, no wait, quick effecient we were off in a helicopter escorting us down to The Colorado River Pontoon Boat excusion. Off the heli, now we hop on a boat. Id say we waited a total of 1 minute? We were then greeted by our pontoon boat captain who drove us on a little tour down the river, with insight and information about the wonderous Canyon. Terrible that I cannot remember his name, I think Leo. Super friendly and took pictures of everyone on the boat. After our boat ride we ran backup to the helicopter and requested once again to sit front row with the pilot.. Permission granted! I video the entire flights backup the Canyon including views and the Colorado River. Helicopter brings us back where the bus is waiting.. to take us to The West Rim GLASS skywalk! I can't emagine if I had tried to experience this on my own, As the lines were tremendous but Henry and westwind air had an alternate plan .. there would be no waiting for our party of 8! What? Impressive! After our walk on glass over the Grand Canyon we would hop back on the bus to enjoy lunch overlooking yet another part of the Canyon. Surprising lane the ones that was included was probably one of the better meals I've had on this entire trip and the scenery was outrageous after launch we had time to hike the Canyon take some pictures taken the view just an overall amazing experience! It does not end there! Back on the plane to which I gave up my piloting position to another member of the party and a quick flight back to Deer Valley West when air service were Valerie is awaiting us, with PHOTOS she had taken before take off next to the plane! This was the most well organized planned out thoughtful accommodating service oriented company and trip Ive done to date. You can not imagine, that in 7 hours, one could do all of this and be back for dinner! Take off at 11 am, back by 615 I am looking for an opportunity to come back out to Arizona again and would hands down absolutely do this day again! Thank you so much to West Wind amd its associates for making my first trip to the Grand Canyon unforgettable!
