"Amazing views! Champagne in the Grand Canyon!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

This is the second time I have done this tour with Papillon (the first for my husband) and we LOVED it. When booking, we sought advice on timing and were given good advice about avoiding the later timeslots due to the heat. So we took the 7am flight (5am pick up). The whole experience was amazing - our pilot was informative, giving us information about what we were seeing but allowing us some quiet time to simply enjoy the sights. We landed on the floor of the Grand Canyon where we had time to look around and take some photos before enjoying a breakfast snack box and some champagne. Our pilot also took photos of us near the helicopter and overlooking the Canyon. We paid extra for the pleasure of sitting in the front - well worth it as the views are better and as they allocate seating, you may find yourself sat in between 2 strangers in the back.

We’re celebrating our honeymoon in Vegas so decided to pay a little more for the King of Canyons sunset tour. What an experience, made only better by our pilot Kane who was the friendliest most knowledgeable guide. Overall 10/10 would recommend Papillon to anyone looking for a helicopter tour in Vegas.
