"Not a good experience and unfair seating"

This is an honest review. What to expect: - get picked up buy a very old bus, have a 40 minute ride to boulder city - wait over 1 hour for your flight. - some people were send away even though they were checked in because they made an organisational mistake - if you are unlucky (chances are 3:1) you get one of the crappy middle seats in the back and can’t see anything, sitting cramped between two people (seats are tiny) - pay the same amount of money as the people with the good seats while you hope the boring and uncomfortable flight will be over soon. - have your mics muted so you can’t talk or ask questions during the flight. - land over the colorado river for a few minutes (which was beautiful) I wouldn’t recommend it. It takes your whole day away and they don’t rotate the seats, so if you are unlucky you won’t see anything while everyone else is having a good time and you paid the same amount of money.

My husband and I had a helicopter trip from Vegas to Grand Canyon on 21-st October 2024 with pilot Mike. I was so surprised my first helicopter trip was so pleasant, exciting and interesting by itself and enriched with pilot’s explanation to every question about the places we were flying over. The topics were about geography, history, nature and wildlife. We were so lucky having such intelligent and knowledgeable guide and experienced pilot in one person! We would like to thank him once again! Mr. & Mrs. Roy Taylor (Great Britain)

"Incredible Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour with Vegas Strip"

We had an unforgettable experience on the Grand Canyon Helicopter Landing Tour! Ken, our pilot, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and had us laughing throughout the journey. The views of the Grand Canyon were absolutely breathtaking, and landing there with Champagne and snacks was such a treat. Flying out at sunset added to the beauty of the trip, and the Vegas Strip at night was simply fabulous. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Vegas. Highly recommend!
