5.00From weather updates before the flight to final hotel drop-off, this experience was amazing! Bob was very accommodating for our pickup, communication from 5 Star was fantastic, and our pilot was personable, funny, and very professional. We saw the Hoover Dam and went fairly deep into the Grand Canyon. We were shown how small the glass overhang was and how far away it was. If you don’t have a full day to see the Canyon on foot, this was pricier but definitely worth it!
Afraid of heights? No problem!

5.00I was scared at first because I am afraid of heights. It didn’t bother me at all. It was magical. I’m sold on seeing our natural wonders via helicopter now. Lucas was an amazing pilot and tour guide. Very informational and calming. Loved this outing!💕

5.00Our pilot was knowledgeable about what we flew over and the area. The support staff was amazing, they took a photo of us with the helicopter before we took off. We got the most amazing pictures and videos. They are called 5 Star for a reason, we give them a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend it we got 5 star treatment the entire time.
