Fantastic trip for our family of 4. Our pilot was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the views of the Canyon were incredible.
This tour was amazing, unbelievably impressive and moving. It seemed expensive beforehand, but afterward it seemed well worth it. The pilot did a fantastic job, made a very dramatic approach to the canyon, showed us a lot of different angles. He also seemed rather knowledgeable about some of the geology. It was slightly disappointing not to see more wildlife on the way to the canyon an earlier time would be better for that, but we didn't go for the wildlife. The music selection on the headset also added to the enjoyment of the tour.
Viewing the Grand Canyon from a helicopter offers views that you can not see from either rim. It is breathtaking.
The only real disappointment was the video I purchased after the flight. It was not clearly focused. I was really hoping for a video that would recreate the experience as much as possible, but the poor focus prevents that. The music was also not audible, even though the voices on the headset were audible on the video.
Bottom line: Definitely take the helicopter tour, but don't bother with the video.
The most amazing thing I have ever done. Flying over the Grand Canyon was a bucket list trip and was well worth it. Alex was a great pilot with tremendous knowledge of the area. This is a must do trip!
