We were in the front of the helicopter. The sun glare off the windows ruined many of our pictures. Also all the picturesque views were on the side of the pilot. The pilot did not share any information while we in the air.
Breathtaking and a MUST DO!

This is without a doubt a must do to see the gran canyon. You can only really appreciate it by air. Our pilot, Kate, made us feel safe and the tour thought us a lot that we wouldn’t have known just by visiting the village. Our flight time was around 50 min and that felt quick.
Awesome way to see the Grand Canyon!

It was incredible!! Kate was an awesome pilot. We loved how we got to see so much in such a short amount of time. We also loved the history and Kate’s additional comments and information. She made the experience that much more memorable.
Once in a lifetime experience!

We took the 45 minute helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. It was an awesome and satisfying experience. The tour was safe for all ages and took us into the canyon over the South Rim and we were able to see the expanse of the canyon with the Colorado river way below us. The 45 minutes was enough to cross the river three times and take us upto the north rim. It's an expensive tour but totally worth it and a once in a lifetime experience. The title of the tour "optional hummer" is misleading. That is a separate tour paid for and booked separately. Other than that, heartily recommended.

Amazing landscape. Disappointed we had a trainee and bad weather. Kids and wife got sick; felt like this was a training run and didn’t feel like we got much attention.
