Very difficult to get into helicopter for me being a 70 year old woman Weather delayed our flight and replacement flight easy to book but only got a short flight that was only in the canyon for 10 minutes the rest of the time was taken up by getting there and back. Disappointed...

The helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon is unbelievable. This is definitely the best way to view the canyon. Our pilot was fantastic. He gave us details about the view and the canyon, some history and played some great music too. This is a great experience.

If you only visit the Grand Canyon once in your life, then taking a helicopter trip over the canyon is a must. The experience of soaring over the canyon and seeing it from all angles is amazing. Our pilot, Justin of Papillion helicopters, was excellent, giving a very knowledgeable and engaging commentary throughout the trip. The only one negative would be that the company tried to upsell the chance to sit in the front seat for $60. However as there were 6 passengers, 2 of the family got to sit in the front anyway without paying anything. That aside, it was an amazing experience.
