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.

5 Star gave us a first-class ride from our hotel to the airport, where Mischa (our pilot) was amazing! Her personality just shined as we headed to the helicopter for an absolutely amazing ride past Hoover Dam and into the Grand Canyon. There was no wind, so she gave us a bird's eye view of everything. The helicopter ride could not have been better! Mischa was very informative about the area as well. We then rode in luxury again to our rafting trip. Leslie was our tour guide for the rafting trip and she was very informative as well and an amazing boat operator. There was a little mix-up on our transportation back to the hotel, but a wonderful gentleman from 5 Star gave us a ride back. Come to find out...he was the owner! Thank you all for a great day!!!

Helicopter tour was amazing thanks to 5 star grand canyon helicopter tours. The pilot was just super friendly and a really cool person. The raft ride was also awesome, but it would have been nice to be in a smaller raft and maybe a shorter ride.

One word; Incredible!!

We booked this trip two months in advance and weren’t sure what to expect with the combination of helicopter and boat- we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience!

We were greeted by a lovely guy who picked us up from our hotel in a new mini bus and kept us entertained on the short trip to the small airport to board our helicopter. We were greeted and offered drinks and refreshments in a very nice building before meeting our wonderful lady pilot! She was confident, fun, engaging and interesting and made our flight (just over an hour- longer than expected) so worthwhile! The views were incredible- a must see- and we thoroughly enjoyed flying through the Grand Canyon and over the rivers surrounding it.

We were then picked up again by our lovely driver and taken to another hotel where we would be transported to pick up our boat down via an old fashioned El Dorado ranch. Once again, we had a lovely informative driver and a great look around this old ranch before being met by another guy to take us out on the water. Again- an incredible experience!! Blue sky, peaceful and calm undisturbed water, great lunch, interesting stories and little stops along the way.

We had the most perfect day and would repeat it again, or recommend it to others, in a heartbeat!!

A Class Tour!
