It’s worth doing this trip, it will leave you speechless. The pilot was very knowledgeable about the whole area you fly over not just the canyon. He engaged with all six passengers. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel we were greeted by friendly staff. Probably one of the best holiday trips I have ever done!!!
A great trip , staff were so friendly and helpful. The pilot was amazing. A stunning once in a lifetime trip
Great experience.Captain MadDog was fantastic. Shard his knowledge of the canyon and formations. Would definitely recommend.
It was an absolutely thrilling experience! It was my first time in a helicopter and I did this solo. It did not disappoint. I felt like a kid in a candy store with $1 million to spend! The views of the Canyons and the Hoover Dam were breathtaking. Even though the Canyon terrain was quite brown, it was still an amazing sight to behold. Marcus, our pilot, made sure everyone on board had the opportunity to see all the major landmarks, regardless of which side of the helicopter they were seated on. I rode in the jump seat, which made the experience even more exciting. The entire staff was incredibly friendly. I was picked up at my hotel in a luxury van by a very nice driver. I especially loved his long beard! He was warm and personable, and we had a lovely conversation during the short drive to the hangar. Marcus, was informative, professional, and kept everyone entertained with some good and bad dad jokes. He made the flight both educational and fun. I was interested in the ecological impacts to the Canyons. Marcus was able to provide some things to think about. He was honest with what he knew and didn’t know. Flying over the Las Vegas Strip was the perfect climax to an unforgettable afternoon. An aerial view of LV hotels and convention center gave me some appreciation for their incredible size and grandeur. Only complaint, and it is really minor, was the add-on photo they take is not very good. It could have been sharper or provided to you via email. BUT I highly recommend this experience, even if you are traveling solo, like me, or with friends of any age.
We did the extended trip, very glad we did. The scenery is breathtaking!! The ride is worth all of the money!!! Recommend highly!!
This was amazing. I have always wanted to ride in a helicopter and this trip didn't disappoint. The pilot was awesom, we got to sit in tue front. I would highly recommend Velator and this trip!
The crew is well prepared, safety is a priority, and the pilot is very knowledgeable about the history and current affairs of the area. The food at the ranch was great, the wooden furniture was authentic, and we had a lot of fun at the range. I would definitely recommend.
Excellent service. Our pilot, Marcus, was very informative on the area we flew over. And the flight over the Grand Canyon was spectacular, we never expected to see what we saw.
Andrew our pilot and Joey our bus driver for our transport were both great . We would definitely recommend this trip . The pilot was really knowledgable - it was a brilliant trip
Fantastic trip and experience. The perfect way to see Grand Canyon. The whole family enjoys this BIG TIME!
