5.00Oh my goodness! Being above the formations and getting a bird’s eye view of such beauty was absolutely amazing! Our pilot was fantastic, handling the wind beautifully and explaining everything we were seeing. If you have the chance, DO THIS!

5.00Excellent experience with Michael our helicopter Pilot. It was just the two of us so we had a little 4 seater helicopter that afforded us great views across the canyons. Michael made us feel very at ease, not that we are nervous fliers. Great commentary throughout and a comfortable flight. It has to be one of the best ways to see the areas around and between Canyonlands and Estes park. Highly Recommended.

5.00The pilot did a great job!!!!! We were amazed at the beautiful views from above the canyons…….absolutely a must do in order to see a lot of the arches that are not visible by walking to them.A little pricey but well worth the money to see.
Amazing bird's-eye view of Canyonlands and Arches National Park

5.00We made an incredibly cool flight over the Canyon area with the Arches from Moab-Utah. The pilot was very nice and told a lot about the origins of this unique area dating from the Jurrasic era. Because you fly slowly and are agile in a helicopter, we were able to see all the beautiful phenomena from the air. Very cool experience.
Breathtaking Views
