Great experience. Emma was a great pilot and guide and was patient with me while getting in the helicopter. I had a knee replacement and it took a few tries to get situated. I was grateful for the step stool. I did wish that it was cooler on the helicopter but it was a hot day. The picnic basket snack and drink was very refreshing.
Fantastic from start to finish

Had such a great time on the tour. The staff were exceptional and did everything in their power to help when the first tour I was booked on was cancelled due to the weather and the actual tour itself was so much fun with a brilliant pilot. Cannot recommend enough.
Amazing wonderful trip.

Our Grand Canyon helicopter tour was the highlight of our family vacation! Traveling with our 5-year-old, we were a bit nervous, but our pilot made us feel completely safe and comfortable from start to finish. The flight was incredibly smooth, and the views were breathtaking. Landing inside the canyon for a champagne toast felt like a dream—it was such a special way to celebrate with the family.
Love it
