5.00Really enjoyed the trip. Great views of the park. Only downside was I only booked the half hour. Longer flight next time.

5.00I love helicopters and we have been to Zion NP many times and wanted to do something different. We were traveling with friends who had never been in a helicopter. We checked and they had availability and jumped at the chance to fly. It was a great flight over red rock, mostly to the south towards Colorado City and Hildale. To be very clear, this flight does not go over the actual Zion National Park but does fly over some beautiful red rock mountains and formations. Glad we did this tour. It was a great flight with amazing views.
Good

5.00We had a free morning during our Utah trip and wanted to try something a little off the beaten path. After some searching, we came across Zion Helicopter Tours—and we’re so glad we did! Neither of us had ever been on a helicopter before, but we figured it would be an unforgettable way to see parts of the landscape that you just can’t reach on foot. And wow, it absolutely delivered. We took the 35-mile tour and were blown away by the incredible views from above. The whole experience was smooth, exciting, and totally unforgettable. We’re officially hooked—already talking about doing more flights here and at other locations. Consider us copter junkies now!
The best thing we did in Zion

5.00Kevin was awesome!! He was entertaining and informative! The ride was thrilling and relaxing. They worked with us to get our reservation to stick and not lose because of low bookings. The staff at the hangar was courteous too!!!

5.00The tour was incredible. We loved it. Captain Kyle was superb. He made sure everyone felt safe and kept us informed. He explained things well. Knowing what we were seeing made it even more interesting. The views were beautiful. The checkin was smooth, the safety instructions clear and the tour exceeded all my expectations. We really appreciated Captain Kyle’s efforts to make each one of us feel comfortable and enjoy the ride. I would highly recommend this tour.
