5.00Great experience! This is the 2nd experience we have had with Maverick. Both Hawaii and now the Grand Canyon. Incredible views, good group of people. Definitely recommend to others.

5.00I've done a lot of fun stuff in my life. I mean a LOT! This helicopter tour, beyond a doubt, is the most fun thing I've ever done. The entire experience was perfect. The shuttle, the check in, our incredible pilot Nick, all perfect. We sat in the back seat on the way to the Grand Canyon, great views because there are side windows like a car. After we landed, the pilot let us change to the front seat and that view was incredible. There really are no words to describe this experience. You're just gonna' have to find out yourself. And you should!!!

5.00An utterly fantastic experience given by Maverick Helicopters. Booking was easy from the UK and the communication by Maverick was informative and detailed. Maverick gave reminders via email and test, and on the one occasion I called them, my query was quickly dealt with. Maverick provided transfers from/return to hotel in a luxury mini-bus and the check-in at the helo-port was easy to navigate. A shout out for our pilot (Bryse) who was so welcoming at the initial safety brief and throughout the trip was friendly and supplemented the in-flight audio system. 45 mins on the ground was in the Canyon was a life experience not to be forgotten, and the champagne offered was so surreal given our location. Bryse gave us all an opportunity to sit the front of the helicopter but every seat offered quality views, including the Hoover Dam and over Las Vegas. If I am ever asked ..................... Maverick Helicopters are the ONLY company I would use for such an experience.
Such an amazing day!

The best way to see the Grand Canyon

5.00We drove ourselves to the Maverick Helicopters building and they have plenty of free parking for customers. They also offer shuttle service from the nearby hotels if needed. Our helicopter ended up only having 4 people so we switched seats halfway through the trip at one of our stops which was nice. We first stopped at a place to re-fuel the helicopter and then we stopped again inside the actual Grand Canyon. You were able to walk around and take as many pictures as you wanted. There were also free drinks (soda and champagne) plus snacks. I feel like the lighting towards sunset made the Grand Canyon walls pop. We then flew over Fremont Street and the Strip at sunset before returning back to the airport.
