I have seen thr Grand Canyon multiple times. Seeing it via helicopter brought tears to my eyes. I researched multiple tour providers, and decided on Papillion. We felt that the company took safety seriously, and we felt prepared for what we needed to do to keep ourselves safe. The ride itself was incredible. Martin was a great pilot, and the tour narrator was informative. Highly recommend!
