Great experience but for a slight mishap

3.00The experience was great except for a slight mishap towards the end of trip . I traveled with my wife and two daughters.. The views were breathtaking…the daughters who were sitting in the front felt a bit nauseous while landing but overall it was memorable. The only bitter part was that my wife missed a step and fell down while coming out of the helicopter. This is a big improvement area meaning that stepping in and out of the helicopter is not easy for heavy or old people . Hence a stepping stool is absolutely mandatory . I understand the provision is there but was not used , which is a bit sad . Thankfully there were no bones broken . But for the above , we all enjoyed the trip .
Breathtaking and spectacular!

5.00The scenery was breathtaking. What an experience once we left the high ground for the canyon. Loved the music but would have liked to known where we were in regards to the South Rim locales.
Brilliant tours.. and great value for money.

5.00We absolutely loved the whole experience of the helicopter flight we were treated well and no time waiting around too long the flight over the canyon was an unbelievable experience not to be missed . The sheer size of the place is pretty mind blowing. We had also booked the Hummer Sunset tour which again was excellent. Rene our guide for the evening was brilliant and so full of knowledge and experience. The sunset views at Yavapai point were absolutely incredible and timed our arrival to perfection Overall a brilliant tour.
High flying fun!
