We first tried having a flight from the South ridge at the Grand Canyon. We booked and paid and just before our flight was due to take off it was cancelled due to bad weather. This was disappointing, but I am happy that they were professional enough to fly only when conditions permitted and not endanger people. The staff were very apologetic. When we arrived in Vegas, we again booked with Maverick Helicopters to fly from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and when they noticed we had booked before, offered a reduction in the price which was greatly appreciated. We were collected in a large van with comfortable seats and taken to the airport where the adventure began. Dave our pilot was informative and pointed out many sites of interest whilst on the flight to the Grand Canyon. The helicopters used have great viewing windows and they change seats around for different parts of the journey which was a bonus. We flew over, then landed in the canyon and had snacks and drinks which was nice. A great professional organisation that make it a special trip.

Your experience will be down to luck and the strangers that book the same flight as you. Your weight in relation to others on the flight will determine whether or not you get a good seat (front 3), an okay seat back outside, or a complete waste of money (inside back row). Apparently, there is nothing you can do beforehand to ensure you get the experience you are paying for. All the staff are very polite and professional - but your seat is assigned by someone else and a computer and cannot be changed. As you can probably guess I was allocated a back middle seat and found the whole experience a complete waste of money. We did the Delux tour on a gloriously sunny day, so with the right seat, it would have been wonderful. The pick up and drop from our hotel was flawless.

We at Maverick Helicopters make safety our top priority and while I understand and empathize with your frustration in regards to the seating situation, we have to be very careful to properly balance the helicopter and all seating arrangements reflect that. I am sorry that you feel that your seats did not provide the best view but we exclusively fly the ECOSTAR helicopter which is the model that provides the optimum views for sightseeing and we do feel we are providing a quality product no matter where you are seated in the aircraft. It is unfortunate that you felt your experience was lacking but we certainly appreciate our customer’s taking the time to share feedback good or bad. Kind regards, A Maverick Team Member

We had a really great flight. Aaron our pilot was good especially having two of us on the flight that were not the greatest with heights. Trip was smooth nice stopover in Canyon. Great photo opportunities. Trip back over strip was neat too. Would recommend. The only problem we had is that we could not get the dvd from the flight because the data file was corrupted. That was disappointing wanted the keepsake from this tremendous experience.
