First flight in helicopter but pilot made us feel very safe and we all had a chance to be in the front seats. Trip was amazing had a great commentary on points of interest and saw the Grand Canyon at its best. Trip to bottom was awesome
Wow! Thats all Ill say.. You need to do this.
Fantastic service from start to finish. Helicopter fleet clearly modern. Pilot excellent and knowledgeable. Playlist whilst flying very good
My husband and I loved every bit of this trip, it was one of the highlights of an amazing holiday. The helicopter journey was amazing, it was our first time in a helicopter and I couldn't get over how smooth a ride it was. The pilot was excellent, had plenty of local knowledge and encouraged us to ask any questions. The below the rim landing was worth the extra money, as it gave you a totally different perspective of the canyon. There was time to take plenty of photos and explore a small area. The skywalk was a fantastic experience although I couldn't bring myself to look down below my feet to the base, but my husband did. You can't take anything onto the skywalk so you are given a locker for your things. There are a few photographers on the skywalk taking photos you can buy after, but be prepared to queue for this. We had to wait approx half an hour. The photos were brilliant though and we bought the full set. There is plenty of opportunity to take your own photos of the canyon at the 2 different stop offs, and it is truly spectacular.
Awesome trip. The best way to see the canyon. Very friendly staff.
Great tour, views are incredible
