5.00Superbly organised trip. Reminders of pick up were received which gave confidence that someone would definitely be there to collect. Pick up from hotel was on time. Helipad reception very nice and welcoming. Pilot was Kimsie and it was just us and another couple. Kimsie was excellent and she gave us a running commentary when there was something of interest to see. We went in front on the way to GC and the other couple went in front on way back. It was spectacular flying through the Grand Canyon before we landed. Coach took us to the Sky Walk which was expensive but you kind of felt like you had to do it. Great views and we were able to take our phones on the walkway so we could take some pics. We then got a bus to Guano point which provided an opportunity for some more fabulous views and photos. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Fantastic experience

5.00Wow. What an experience! Pricey but worth it. You get picked up from your hotel, taken to their place, checked in, thorough safety demo. Just fyi, you may be sat apart from your friends/family for weight purposes/distribution. They change seats 3 times total so everyone gets a chance to be up front. Lasts about 2.5 hours from start to finish. Amazing
You won’t regret doing this it was awesome.

5.00Really well organised and an experience to remember. The bus picked us up from the destination on time, we were grouped into 6, the pilot was truly friendly. the view from the helicopter was absolutely amazing. we then had just the right amount of time to move from one viewpoint to another. It was perfect. An amazing experience.
Maverick Helicopter tour is an amazing experience!!

5.00At first I wasn’t sure I would like the helicopter ride ! A bit fearful of being in helicopter. My husband and I did this tour and our pilot I think I recall his name to be Todd ,a young pilot new to the company was amazing!! His confidence made us feel safe He was a great tour guide and seemed very skilled. A pleasant guy!! The sites from the helicopter were breathtaking. We went to the skywalk west rim. I love Native American history and the people so I am glad we chose this tour to support them. The canyon is beautiful. I highly recommend Maverick Helicopters.
Well worth it if short on time in Las Vegas

5.00We took this tour during the heat of the summer, and it was fantastic. Pick up from our resort was on time, with clear instructions provided. A fairly short drive to the end of the strip and we were straight through to check-in. Shortly after, we were boarding our helicopter, with our pilot (Tyler?), who provided clear safety instructions and we were off. The flight over the strip and to/from the canyon’s west rim was smooth and rewarding in views. Just the right amount of time was left to explore the rim on foot, and shuttle bus.
5 Stars - a great experience from start to finish!

5.00The Maverick experience was top notch. Scheduling conflicts were smoothly navigated (our trip was rescheduled the day before) and communication was excellent. Our pilot, Travis, is not only a skilled pilot, but also a knowledgeable and entertaining conversationalist. Travis’s cleverly curated playlist, friendly manner and running commentary during our flight time ensured a fun and relaxing day that was also enjoyable & educational for everyone on board. Can’t say enough good things- exceeded expectations in every way. Thank you, Maverick Helicopters and thank you, Travis!
Mind blowing
