Overall outstanding. Flight was smooth, pilot had lots of good information, but also kept quiet enough for us to gape at the spectacular scenery. If you only have a short time at the Grand Canyon, do this.

No hesitation to recommend this helicopter ride, the staff, the helicopter & ride were all top notch. So glad we went for this, the views, the information shared made the Grand Canyon even grander.

My first helicopter experience and I would highly recommend. While the trip is pricey- both Maverick Helicopters and the pilot Brian were terrific. Brian had an awesome playlist to accompany the Wonder of the World views. My 22 year old daughter and I both loved the trip and would recommend highly. Kudos to the Maverick team from start to finish even enjoyed the on site gift shop!!!

Very professional, the flight ran on time and the place is very organized. The pilot was knowledgeable and spoke at least two languages, giving the tour in deustch also. The views were spectacular. We were glad we had already visited the canyon prior to seeing it from the helicopter, I think it helped to put into perspective what we had seen from the rim and the hiking trails.
