5.00It was my first time flying in a helicopter and I enjoyed every part of it! The pilot was very professional, pleasant & made me feel comfortable the whole flight. She hade lots of knowledge about the areas we flew over, also the flight was very smooth. We flew over the Hover Dam & Grand Canyon then landed on the West Rim where I was able to visit two viewing points. I also got a bird's eye view the strip. I would recommend to anyone rather it's your fist time flying or not.
Just do it!

5.00What a great trip. It was a long day but Carlitos kept us entertained and educated and on time - in Spanish and English! - and Kenny the driver was kind and competent. I learned a great deal. Would highly recommend. The bus was fine. Older and no wifi, but it got the job done.
Breathtaking

5.00This was an expensive trip worth every penny. A one off experience I’ll never forget. After the minefield of options and filtering reviews we decided to do the vegas departure round trip with Maverick Helicopters and loved every minute of it. No driving at all except a quick bus at Grand Canyon and Uber to the airport. Shared the helicopter with 2 other couples. Lots of in-air time. Got reseated at each landing too so everyone got to sit all around the helicopter. Had plenty of adventure time at stops and time to snack. Advice…wear sunscreen and bring a large cold water each. The ride was flawless, friendly and lots of facts and knowledge all in good humour from the pilot. In a single word…AWESOME!
AWESOME!!!

5.00The Maverick helicopter tour from Vegas to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon was amazing! Pilot Aaron H was knowledgeable, and funny and caring. He allowed everyone to have a chance to ride in the front. From check-in to the shuttles at the west rim to the return flight - everything was wonderful! Of course, the sights are incredible!
Breathtaking!

5.00Yes it’s a lot of money but my God!!! Great view of the hoover dam and then over the desert where we put down to refuel in the middle of nowhere, right next to some Joshua trees. Then on to the canyon itself. Absolutely breathtaking views. Put down again and walked over the skywalk before return flight back to Vegas over the strip! Great pilot. Very knowledgable. Would highly recommend!!!
