What To Expect

Hoover Dam

After hotel pickup, board your state-of-the-art helicopter for a 70-minute (round-trip) scenic air tour of the Grand Canyon West Rim. Your flight will take off from Boulder City, where builders of the Hoover Dam (formally the Boulder Dam) lived during the dam’s construction in the 1930s. Enjoy panoramic, 180-degree views of the impressive Hoover Dam, the bypass bridge and Black Canyon, and fly past the extinct and colorful volcano, Fortification Hill.

Make sure to have your camera ready, as around every corner you’ll see cathedral buttresses and pillars with amazing natural vivid colors. After leaving the Grand Canyon, enjoy views of other natural wonders in the wilderness of the rugged Mojave Desert.

Black Canyon City Visitor's Center and Chamber of Commerce.

Upon landing in Boulder City, if you choose the rafting trip, you'll take a short drive down to the Colorado River launch area for your river float at the base of the Hoover Dam and the newly constructed bypass bridge. Here you'll be greeted by your friendly guide, who will help you board your comfortable river raft or kayak. Float or paddle down the river and through the Black Canyon, with high walls that will leave you breathless! Enjoy a picnic lunch at Willow Beach. Keep your eyes open for desert bighorn sheep, osprey, and great blue heron in their natural setting.

The helicopter offered beautiful views, sadly taking photos was challenging as they squeezed 6 people in. It was a very uncomfortable flight which took away from the enjoyment of the experience. I expected this to be the highlight of the trip sadly it was not. The kayak float turned out to be the best part of the trip. As others have mentioned the communication could have been better, made for a hasty start to the day when you plan for one time but it’s really another.

We had a helicopter and rafting experience booked. There was an alarming lack of communication so I called the company who said they had been unable to fill the number of visitors required to make the helicopter ride viable, and they were trying to make it so that we wouldn't miss out. They were really good and were able to move our time to later in the day. This did mean a few last minute phone calls but they worked very hard to get us in, and I really thank the team for that. We had our rafting first, with picnic lunch included. unfortunately the message had not gotten through that we are both vegetarian so there was one vegetarian meal (a salad) and that was labelled as peanut-free instead. it was fun ride and our guide Dave pointed out interesting features, and allowed us off the raft a couple of times to wander about. there was NO time for paddling or swimming as advertised, so that needs to be clarified on the selling information. The helicopter ride was as amazing as we had hoped and our pilot Steph was lovely. Overall a great experience, but the communication for the exact itinerary, clothing required and time frames could be improved

The trip was incredible- from the sunrise as our helicopter took flight to the fun guides, gorgeous views and good food, we loved it! I went with two teenagers and they loved it, too.
