Our pilot was very interactive, knowledgeable and comical. Made the flight experience fun and provided a understanding of what we were flying over. (Michael? was our pilot)
Easy booking..no hidden charges..pick drop to hotel.highly recommended.they booked me with maverick helicopter. And those people are very nice and professional.
Really enjoyed our flight over the Grand Canyon with snacks and Champagne. Our pilot was great and played his own music soundtrack which added to the excitement and atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend.
My husband and I climbed hiked rode mules and horses rafted and flew in his plane all around the Grand Canyon. He has flown to the heavens and I’m old to go solo. Perfect blue sky, towering canyons, Pilot Jakes playlist smooth flight and informative manner renewed my soul of precious memories. CHOOSE MAVERICK and ENJOY!
The trip was excellent. The cost is quite high but on reflection I think it was worth the expense as it is a once in a lifetime experience.
We had a family of 8 therefor two helicopters. Miguel pilot number 1 was great giving good commentary and chat in a great manner. Pilot number 2 gave 0 to very little commentary. I realised it’s easier to get good passengers then good pilots. However, referrals is the name of the game.
Amazing I celebrated my 50th on the day the pilot was great as will had some good tunes playing over the head sets
Absolutely fantastic experience. Our pilot, Jake, was very knowledgeable and funny, and his choice of music excellent. All seats in the helicopter have good view, the trip was quite long and you can see the city, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and West Rim beatifully from the air. Must do attraction in Vegas!
We have been to the rim of the canyon numerous times but this beats them all. Great way to see the Hoover Dam, Lake Meade and the Canyon all in one breath taking trip. Our pilot, Chase, helped make the experience even better.
My wife and I booked this tour during a trip to Las Vegas. It's a fantastic way to view the Hoover Dam from above to personally go down into the Grand Canyon and really appreciate its scale. From the pickup/dropoff at our resort to Khale our pilot, the entire experience was first class.
This was our first helicopter tour and although we initially thought it was pricey, in the end it proved to be priceless!
Everythung went perfectly well. From pick up to organization at the airport we coukd,not feel any better to be taken care of. We flew with Miguel, who himself has kind of done every possisble pilot job in his career. The view was spectacular. Also the picnic in the canyon was unique ans although there were 4 other helicopters with 6-7 ppl each, it did not feel crowded or anything. Thanks for the perfect get away! Ps, on the booking acknowledgement it said that we'd fky with mustang helicopters but we flew with maverick instead.
Everything as explained in the description. Great way to visit the place and have an awesome experience
I am just back from a trip to Vegas with my friend, who was tied up a lot for work during the day. I wanted to set up a tour but was only in Vegas for 3 days. This tour picked up at my hotel via coach bus to a nearby airport to catch a helicopter tour of Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Colorado River, Old Volcano and the Grand Canyon! Our pilot was fantastic keeping us confident and informed as well as acting a our tour guide. The views were spectacular, especially flying into the Grand Canyon and landing at the bottom for some exploring, some champagne and some snacks. The ride back was equally spectacular. BEST TOUR I've ever been on. Worth every $1 spent.
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, well worth the expense. It was very well organised with the pick up time - on time ! Our pilot Aaron, was very friendly and informative. The helicopter was new and in very good condition- we all felt very safe. The views are amazing and we would definitely do this again. Highly recommended
The trip via helicopter to Lake Mead,the Hoover, Dam and the Grand Canyon was the highlight of my trip to Las Vegas. Not only was the flight fun (and I've been on many helicopters before) it was comfortable and exciting especially the descent and landing in the Canyon. The pilot was simply exceptional. He was not only informative but very gregarious and friendly. I would recommend this to any one adults or children. BRAVA!
Okay - so the flight is from Henderson not McCarran which is about 30-45 minute journey from the Strip. Hence the early pickup. You land at the western end of the canyon. Having done a similar trip from the South Rim a few years ago, I don't think you get the most spectacular view of the canyon. It would have been nicer if it had been possible to fly further into the canyon after the landing and before the refueling stop. Good view of Las Vegas in the distance as you head back to the airport. Great choice of music for the flight!
What a great tour, was picked up from hotel and taken to where we got the helicopter. Our pilot was excellent sat in the front, it was amazing everything so still and clear, we set down in the canyon for champagne and even refuelled in the middle of the desert. A fantastic experience and one to tick off my bucket list, would highly recommend.
This was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas. My husband and l and our daughter and son-in-law are so glad we decided to do this. Our pilot Simon was very informative and knowledgeable. His music was fun too! Booking the trip was easy and everyone associated with Maverick was very polite and helpful. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to check off a bucket list item. The Grand Canyon was majestic place to see.
If you have a 4-5 hour chunk of time and want to see something outside of the strip, we highly recommend this activity. If you have never traveled by small helicopter or plane be aware there is turbulence that is unavoidable, especially going over the different levels of terrain. The pilots will warn you of this and do everything they can to make this a minimal issue, but the air is out of their control. Take something to calm your stomach and enjoy the experience. Highly recommended!
We made reservation for 6 people and they split our family into 5 in on helicopter and 1 in another. They did not give us any other option. This was a long time plan family trip and we did not enjoy the trip the way it should.
Had a brilliant experience with this company. Excellent pilot, fantastic flight with views of Lake Meade, Hoover Dam and a nice amount of time on the ground with refreshments and time for photos. Would recommend this trip to anyone thinking of booking, The staff at Maverick were very professional and ensured everyone was well informed of safety procedures and that everyone had an enjoyable experience.
