5.00We booked this trip based on reviews and we’re not disappointed. The pick up was in the Bellagio which was opposite our hotel so very convenient. Our pilot was lovely and very informative. We flew over the Hoover Dam before arriving at the Grand Canyon and eventually landed for a small picnic and couple of glasses of fizz, and opportunity to take some amazing photos. Then flew back and drop off back where we were picked up. Our only criticism was that the trip back was a different route and not so scenic. We’d have preferred the same route back as we would have had opportunity to see things that were on the opposite site to when we went. Would we recommend and go again? Hell yes!!
Great Experience

5.00Amazing!!!! Once in a lifetime experience, we had Jimmy as our pilot and he made the trip. Built a great rapport with everyone of us on the helicopter, telling us great and interesting facts across the flight. He was very attentive in taking photos for us all and to top it off his personality was the best, to say hilarious is an understatement. Once again amazing!!!!!
Excellent Excellent Excellent!!! Would thoroughly recommend!!!

5.00Excellent trip from start to finish! So well organised by Papillon - picked up at hotel, drive out to Boulder City, registration prompt and trip started on time. Helicopter ride with Isaiah was excellent - felt very safe and safety briefing was very detailed! Lovely guy who interacted and made sure his group were well looked after. Amazing views of the Grand Canyon & Hoover Dam - nice picnic at landing spot and smooth flight throughout! Super trip! Would thoroughly recommend…..
Great experience!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
