Awesome! A must-do! We did the short 25-minute tour, it's worth the money. What a wonder this Grand Canyon is! I will keep a wonderful memory of this helicopter flight. You go inside, it's memorable. And while waiting for the flight, there is the history of the company, very interesting
Quelle belle façon de découvrir le Grand Canyon ! Nous sommes ravis que ce vol en hélicoptère vous ait laissé un souvenir aussi fort, et que vous ayez également apprécié découvrir un peu de l’histoire de Papillon avant le départ.
It’s a once in a life time experience. You can’t imagine the size and beauty of the Grand Canyon until you experience it in the air.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Felicia! We're thrilled to hear that you had an experience of a lifetime on the Classic Grand Canyon South Rim Helicopter Tour!
It was a great experience for me and my 7 yr old grandson. It was his first time flying on a helicopter. Kacey did an amazing job of maneuvering the helicopter from takeoff , hovering over the Canyon and landing. My grandson was not afraid.
It's fantastic to know that your grandson enjoyed his first flight and felt safe during the tour. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both back for another adventure soon!
The most beautiful experience of my life by far! Flying over the Grand Canyon was just fabulous. The flight lasts about 25/30min which leaves time to see the Grand Canyon well. The pilot goes down into it, so we are between the walls and it is very impressive. We took the front seats option for $50 more per person and it is the best thing we could have done because we see extremely well. I recommend it 1000 times if you can afford it because it is still a budget.
Alexias, nous sommes ravis que ce survol du Grand Canyon ait été une expérience aussi marquante ! Entre les vues spectaculaires et votre place à l’avant, quel magnifique souvenir à ramener de votre voyage.
Perfect ! Good organization, friendly people, highly recommended. (Off course a negative recommendation for the price .. very expensive)
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, Kris! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the smooth organization, friendly service, and unforgettable views of the Grand Canyon. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you aboard again!
It was very fun and spectacular views of the Gand canyon. We did it for my grandsons birthday. Worth it and our pilot, Frederick was great too. So much info- we will remember for ever.
Thank you, Linda! We're happy to hear you and your grandson had a fantastic birthday celebration with breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. It's great to know that Frederick made the experience memorable with his insights.
This was the most spectacular view you could imagine. The staff is amazing giving you piece of mind to those who have never experienced a helicopter ride.
It's awesome. I would recommend it to everyone. I thought I'd be so scared of being up in the air and riding the helicopter. But our pilot, a women i mist say, was very good at what she does and made us feel safe.
Filth was on time and all staff/pilot were very professional.
Don’t get there too early. Nothing to do while you wait. The ride itself was amazing. The drop into the canyon was smooth and breathtaking. Expensive but worth it to do one time.
