Coming all the way from Germany, visiting the Grand Canyon via helicopter was the main reason we planned our trip to Las Vegas—and it exceeded every single expectation! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, but what made it truly extraordinary was our pilot, Lucas. He was amazing! Over the course of the 90-minute flight, he was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so many fascinating insights about the landscape and history. You could really tell he loves what he does, and his skill as a pilot made us feel completely safe and comfortable the entire time. Coming from Europe, it was a significant investment. But I can say without a single doubt: it was worth every single Euro. Flying over the canyon provides views you simply cannot get from the ground, creating a core memory for our family/group that we will talk about for years. If you are on the fence about booking a helicopter tour because of the price—do it. And if you get Lucas as your pilot, consider yourself lucky! Tip for travelers: If this is on your bucket list, don't hesitate. It is worth every cent!
Eddie the pilot was great. There were five total guests. It was a very interesting tour to see the lake from above and how low the water is. The Grande Canyon is beautiful from the sky! Great trip of a lifetime!
Wow…… such an amazing experience! The view of the west Canyon is beautiful. Even saw the Valley of fire from the air on our way back. Maddog is the best & most fun pilot ever, couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Can’t wait to be able to do this again.
The tour over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam was beautiful. The pilot Lucas was very informative. Of course it was nice i had the front row seat 😀
Very well organised. Joe was great as we travelled to the airport and the flight was amazing. The flight through the Grand Canyon was incredible.
MAD DOG !! Our pilot and guide and truly one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met . I couldn’t possibly type enough of how incredible this tour was and it was all Because of him ! If you put on the fence due to price like I was .. book it . It is so worth it !
Great trip well worth it and our helicopter pilot Mad Dog was a trip and put a really interesting and informative spin on the Canyon.will be quoting him forever.i highly recommend the company 5 star helicopters.
The actual helicopter trip into the canyon was excellent and having already visited the canyon rim on another occasion would recommend this helicopter tour to anyone who has the opportunity. There was an issue with the booking as we specifically chose this tour to avoid the ranch visit and meal as we have an allergy to horses and various food allergies in the group that we didn’t want to have to deal with. On the evening before the trip (8pm) with no possible chance for us to make other arrangements we were told our trip had been changed to be the one with the ranch stop and having no choice we had to accept. For a trip that cost so much it took the shine of something that could have been exceptional. Therefore score downgraded from very good to good
Very efficient staff, amazing views. Transport to and from the airport was smooth and everyone was very helpful
Booked in Dec 25 for our Jun/Jul holiday. 5 Star contacted me by Whatsapp on our arrival in Vegas on 28th June to check we were in Vegas for our trip on 2nd July. I should have been worried as they put a completely different name on the Whats app. Confirmed we were in Vegas and asked them for pick up details for the trip. I was told these would be provided the afternoon before our trip. They duly contacted me and provided pick up time etc. They did ask if we were flexible on time as 11am flght booked but it may be 1pm. They would confirm the morning of the trip. 5 Star cancelled on the morning of the trip as they could not get 6 people for the trip. Why did you not tell us when we first arrived in Vegas that the trip may not go ahead. It gave us no time to find an alternative provider. Thanks 5 Star Helicopters for ruining the trip of a lifetime on our wedding anniversary. 1 star given but should be none.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience fell so far short of your expectations, especially on such a meaningful occasion as your wedding anniversary. We understand how disappointing and frustrating it must have been to have your flight cancelled on the day of your tour after planning your holiday months in advance. We also apologize for the incorrect name used in our initial WhatsApp message, which understandably did not inspire confidence. Our Reservations Team works with shared helicopter departures, and flights are subject to minimum passenger numbers required by the operating partner. We always hope to confirm departures as early as possible, but in this instance we were not informed until the morning of your scheduled flight that the minimum numbers had not been met. We appreciate that this left you with little opportunity to make alternative arrangements, and we sincerely regret the impact this had on your trip. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we are reviewing our communication processes to see how we can better keep guests informed when there is uncertainty around a departure. We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry that we were unable to be part of what should have been a memorable celebration.
