Maverick Helicopters was the absolute best choice we made while in Las Vegas for my birthday! The Grand Canyon helicopter tour offered spectacular views. From pickup to drop off at our hotel, this entire experience was so memorable and incomparable to anything I have ever done! Our pilot, AJ, was knowledgeable and friendly. He oversaw and ensured our safety for the entirety of our trip. He quickly jumped in to stop a patron from lighting a cigarette while at the fuel stop, most likely saving us all from a very nasty ending! AJ was always on the lookout for us while appearing relaxed and offering Las Vegas/Nevada history coupled with laughs and jokes. I highly recommend taking this trip if you ever get the chance! I look forward to coming back and taking another tour with Maverick soon!

As par of our honeymoon my husband and I did the helicopter tour over the Hoover Dam, out and out to the Grand Canyon. We were promptly picked up from our hotel at the agreed time and taken out to Maverick's Headquarters where we checked in and met our pilot. There was 6 passengers on our tour and we all got a turn to sit in the front. My husband and I got to be in the front first and got to experience the take off and the view over Vegas, over the Hoover Dam and out to land in the Grand Canyon. We had stayed the night previously and the tour only just takes you into the Grand Canyon. When we landed we had champagne and a snack box. We had about 30 minutes to take in and enjoy the scenery around us. We then got back into the helicopter and flew to a refuelling location and then flew back into Vegas. I highly recommend this tour but would recommend actually going and staying in the Grand Canyon so that you get a better feel and experience of it too. We purchased our tickets online through their website, but discovered after that there is a Maverick stall on the strip and other ticket places as well that offer cheaper tickets than what we paid. Slightly annoying when we purchased directly through Maverick.

Great excursion from Las Vegas. The helicopter ride was smooth. I had never flown in a helicopter before and was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't scared. I typically have a fear of heights but felt completely safe. Our trip was 3 adult couples. The pilot was wonderful, informative and nice. Each couple had an opportunity to sit in the front of the helicopter. We landed in the canyon and had a boxed snack and champagne. I would recommend the Wind Dancer tour. A bus picked us up at the hotel and was on time without any issues. I read safety ratings of several of the helicopter tours out of Las Vegas and was most impressed with Maverick.
