5.00We had a brilliant experience on this trip and were thrilled with our choice to invest in such a comprehensive option. To start with, we were picked up in a comfortable shuttle and driven from the Strip to Boulder airport. A straightforward process before we flew to the canyon area, with helpful commentary during the flight. We then landed and transferred to different options, our option was a helicopter to the bottom of the grand canyon, followed by a boat ride along the river and helicopter back up to the top. The helicopter was wonderful - smooth and exhilerating. The boat trip was enjoyable and the guide was knowledgeable. Return helicopter trip and then opportunities to explore Eagle Point, the Sky Walk and Guano Point. Guano Point shouldn't be missed - the views are incredible. A wonderful day and the highlight of our trip, no question. Highly recomment.
A Bucket List Must Do!

5.00This whole experiment was incredible. Well worth spending a little more money for an experience of a lifetime. You get to see the Grand Canyon from the boat at the bottom, to the Top on the Ridge at Guano and Eagle point and then of course the spectacular views from the plane and the helicopter. A bucket list must!
Excellent Experience

5.00I got picked up at a nearby hotel on the Vegas strip and taken to the airport. Rode the plane to the Grand Canyon and taken back to my hotel. The process was seamless. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a great time and I highly recommend this experience!!! I had a 740 pickup time and I was back by 4. It didn’t take the entire day.
Awesome!

1.00Disorganised and often dismissive of customers. Misrepresented entire experience. No guidance or explanations and very short abruptly helicopter ride. We were exhausted with all the walking to no where.
Price high

4.00Price is very high tour. But easy way to go to Grand Canyon. Starting of the plane is very far from Las Vegas where as few other operators fly from the Las Vegas
Great excursion

5.00This is a trip to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon - you take a small bus - a small plane - small helicopter - pontoon boat and get to see/walk the Canyon from all sides! It's truly AMAZING! Pilots and tour support are all very professional. Dress in layers - wear good walking/hiking shoes. There is much to see. Small note: this is Papillion Helicopter - I had some confusion when the bus picked us up - since there are so many tours out of Vegas.
Enjoyable tour
