Wow! Amazing Experience!
Mary H,Mar 20, 2026

5.00The the experience was amazing! I preferred to drive to the airport saved time parking at a hotel and waiting on the puck up. The sires you can see from the plane were amazing. You would miss if you drove to the Canyon and save a lot of time getting there. The helicopter was wonderful. The boat ride short but enough time to see the Canyon from a different perspective. I recommend bringing water as its not offered in between stops. The lunch options were plenty and the food was great. Both sites we tour by bus at the Canyon were great. Only regret was I wish there was another hour to be at the two park sites. I would definitely do it again.

5.00Amazing trip to the Grand Canyon by plane. So quick and gave us plenty of time to explore everything we wanted to see. Smooth ride out and back, fantastic views of the area as you fly over. Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit without having to drive or be on a bus for four hours.
Great time, excellent staff

Worth investing in the grand canyon full experience

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.
