Helicopter trips, look no further than 5 star. As far as I am aware none of the other Helicopter tour companies offer hotel pickup any longer so your in good hands right from the start rather than having to find your own way to the heliport. Once there everyone is very professional in getting you booked in and prepared to start your experience. We booked the grand canyon, with cowboy ranch and horse riding tour and can honestly say our pilot Micheal (Mad Dog) Davies don't let the name deter anyone, went far and above our expectations in terms of keeping us informed of everything we could see on our journey to the cowboy ranch passing over Hoover dam and the grand canyon. Arriving at the ranch we were treated to a BBQ lunch before heading off on a 1hr horesback ride. Me and my Wife cannot recommend this companies professionalism enough 10/10.

We had a wonderful experience with our pilot, Mad Dog, and our drivers, George and Joel. We opted for the horseback ride and lunch at the ranch. And we are very happy that we did. Best BBQ ribs that we’ve had.

All right, great view, super nice pilot. We still thought the helicopter was going to land in the canyon, it is not. The meal in the ranch is nice and very good, people are welcoming. Be careful the ranch is not in the canyon.

Amazing experience! I live in the UK, so I was able to contact the Tour company directly via Whatsapp and arrange a pick up time in and place in Las Vegas. I opted for the Ranch Landing which included lunch and was also sent the menu. On the day, they collected me in their seated taxi van directly from the hotel. i was on my own, but everyone was friendly and I made a friend who was also travelling solo. On arrival at the airport, they weighed us and went through the safety procedure. There were 6 people to the helicopter and everyone was distributed by weight. There are individual seat belts and headphones with mics. The best view is obviously at the front, but i was positioned next to the window which was great. We flew from Las Vegas over the Hoover Damn then onto the West Rim of the Grand Canyon where the helicopter dipped and took us through the canyon. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable explaining the history and geography of the region with added anecdotes! There was a choice of a Gun Range experience or a Horse Trail experience at an additional cost so I opted to stay at the ranch which I was free to explore. The host was a singing cowboy who had taken the time to compose songs which referenced each of us! The food was freshly cooked and delicious! Coffee, hot chocolate and water were free, but alcohol incurred an additional fee. We were then taken back by the same pilot in the same order in the helicopter via a slightly different route. It was just before sunset so we circled Vegas as the many lights of the attractions beneath lit up the city. We were then dropped off at our individual hotels. The trip was approx 5 hours door to door. It was worth every penny and I'd definitely love to do it again!

Had a totally fantastic experience from start to finish. Easy check in, excellent pilot who went through the details and gave a running commentary on the flight. Ranch people were so friendly and obliging including the entertainment and lunch ( would definitely suggest the Bison Burger ). Overall a great adventure and a memorable one .

It is truly amazing to see Grand Canyon and surrounding area from a helicopter. The meal at the Grand Canyon Ranch was tasty, and my son really enjoyed his horseback ride there.

This was the perfect experience for me and my 17year old son. The company was very efficient and exceeded all expectations. The helicopter was an exciting experience and the staff was very professional. The tour description was exactly what they delivered.
