Unforgettable experience - thanks Jimmy!

5.00This was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Our pilot Jimmy was fantastic — knowledgeable, incredibly funny, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we took off. He had the perfect mix of interesting facts and humour, and his jokes and banter kept us laughing the whole way. Flying over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead was amazing, but nothing compares to descending into the Grand Canyon — absolutely breathtaking. The landing spot at the bottom was beautiful, and having a quick picnic there felt surreal. Jimmy really made the trip — his skill, commentary, and personality turned it into something we’ll never forget. If you get the chance to do this tour, definitely ask for Jimmy
Amazing experience!...

5.00Had a fantastic time. Our pilot, Jackson, was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. Views were amazing. I’m not crazy about heights, and this did not bother me at all. Would do again.

5.00This is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Raphael was the perfect pilot, he was funny, witty and played fabulous music in between very knowledgeable commentary. A huge plus for this company is on time pick up, a super safety record and landing onto the floor of the canyon was a truly super experience. We had a picnic basket with snacks and champagne . This experience was magical. My husband has not stopped talking about this experience.
