Las Vegas Tour: Grand Canyon Helicopter Flight and Colorado River Float

This tour is great and adventurous and we had a good time. If I was going to be picky I would complain that the float part of the tour was very, very, very long! Like 3-4 hours of floating. It was extremely hot and the boat was quite full so I was relieved it when it came to an end. But it was beautiful scenery and a lovely experience. Also, there was never a chance to be at any look out area of the Grand Canyon. It was just a fly over in the helicopter. I was hoping it would include a stop to the area with the glass bottom look out point.

The helicopter tour was great, we had never been in a helicopter before - definitely recommend it! The boat trip was a little long but super informative and cool.

Vince was a wonderful guide as well as a pilot. He made us feel so special. Enjoyed every minute of it. Only bad part was I believe our trip included stopping a skywalk where we could visit area and also was suppose to be flown to raft ride.

This was the highlight to our 10 day Vegas trip. We did many other tours and this one was the best! Recommended for all young and old!

The Grand Canyon helicopter flight was everything we hoped it would be. The pilot was terrific and really entertaining. What a great way to get a birdseye view of the scenery. The Colorado river float was relaxing while giving us a completely different view of the Canyon. Our guide provided the group with interesting and informative facts throughout the entire trip.

Helicopter pilot was very knowledgeable and shared lots of tidbits with my kids. He was engaged throughout the entire tour. A larger person was seated next to me in back of the helicopter that made it very cramped. Ad on tour states over 250 lbs requires 2 seat purchase. The river tour was VERY wet. The wind picked up that afternoon and everyone was covered over in ponchos. The ad mentions a lazy meander down the river. It was anything but. We got drenched. My kids shoes did not dry out for 2 days. No warning of this in the ad. Person I talked to on the phone said you were on the water from 10-2. We did not leave Hoover Dam until 11 and pulled into dock at 1:20 PM. This included a 20 minute stop to eat. It would have been better if Brian our boat driver was easier on the throttle and we all would not have been subjected to heavy spray from the river.

My sister, her best friend and I had the BEST time on this tour. It was a surprise for both of them. They didn't know what we were doing until the van picked us up that morning at 5:30am. That was just the first of many enjoyable moments of the day! All of our drivers were great along the trip. Our first driver, a woman, I'm posting this much delayed after our trip, so I've forgotten everyone's names was so great and she made a stop for us at the Las Vegas sign, which was particularly special, since we were there a week post LV horror, and the whole area had been made into a mass memorial for all the victims. This being my first time ever in Vegas, this first time seeing the famous sign will forever be etched in my memory. The crosses set up for each victim, all marked, decorated and adorned especially for them, seemed to go on and on. These memorials really put into perspective just how many innocent lives had really been taken. After our short stop we continued on to the helicopter adventure. After a brief info session, we stepped out to our heli with our pilot - a bearded Tom Cruise look alike, a co-worker couple from Sweden and away we went! The sun had just come up and the beauty was indescribable. Seeing this landscape from above was something I'll never forget! We stopped mid-way at the gift shop run by I believe the Hualapai Indians. My sister and I purchased a couple items, because they were cool, but also because the young man we were talking to there was genuinely one of the nicest people we'd EVER met. Our pilot Tom offered up a lot of very interesting info on our trip, and we did NOT want it to be over! BUT - we still had our river float coming up. We again had the greatest time on this portion! We had made friends on our initial bus ride with a fun couple from Wisconsin, who we are still in contact with, and we partied it up on the river! We brought drinks with us to enjoy we seemed to be the only ones who did?!? Our guide was informative and funny. Half of our raft was an Asian group that was covering themselves in their coats and were all DRENCHED in sweat. Even in October it got pretty hot on the river! We stopped at one point and a couple of the guys jumped right into the water as did we but we had suits on! We were tired after the trip - but not too tired to enjoy the Vegas nightlife! I think the point of this excursion, as with most, is you get out of it what you bring to it. So if you're out to have fun, you will!

This as my 2nd time on this trip did it last year as well . Both Tyler the pilot and Jodi were experts in commentary and answering any Questions . I would recommend it , its worth every penny

This was a great trip and everyone was really friendly and helpful. We loved the boat trip along the Colorado with Brian, very informative. We were lucky enough to get a limo ride back to our hotel, an added bonus with John!!! Fabulous trip, highly recommend!
