Fantastic experience. We did the "celebration sunset" ride, which was great. The Grand Canyon is beautiful, and this is a great way to see it. The champagne was a nice touch, the rest of the basket felt a little basic, but you're sitting in the Grand Canyon. Three big things that will affect your experience: the other people in your helicopter, your seat, and your pilot. 1. The other people: It's a shared aircraft, you'll likely all have headsets so you can talk to each other. If you're with grumpy people, who hate everything it will drag you down a little. 2. Your seat: Not everyone has a window seat. You may end up spending a fair amount of cash to sit in the middle with a tall person in front of you, and someone else to your side at least partially obstructing your window view. That can be frustrating. They may offer you some upgrades or something to try and get you a window seat, but weight distribution is going to take priority. 3. Your pilot. Throw a bunch of strangers together, things can get a little cold, the right person can get everyone excited and keep it moving. Your pilot as spent hundreds of hours learning how to pilot the aircraft safety, and that's their number one concern. Some of the pilots (based on what I'm seeing in reviews) are a bit better at the social aspect than others. My advice for you: If you can afford this, do it. My advice for Papilon: spend a bit more on the shuttle service to get nicer drivers and vehicles. You've got a champagne product with Bud-Light service at either end of the flight.

A very well run slick operation. Everything went like clockwork. Including picking up and dropping off at our hotel. Josh out pilot was very professional, informative and gave us a great flight. A fantastic, enjoyable day out. I’d highly recommend it. 👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) I took two tours in Las Vegas, both with my family: the sunset helicopter tour over the Strip (with a limousine to pick you up from your hotel and take you back, and a glass of champagne) and the Grand Canyon tour by small plane. Both were excellent, honestly. They are very professional. The plane tour took place on a morning with quite strong winds (they warned us beforehand; if we didn't want to fly, they would change the date or refund our money), however, the pilot and his companion handled it very well; the less-than-ideal weather was barely noticeable. Highly recommended. (Original) Hice dos tours en Las Vegas, ambos con mi familia: el helicóptero al atardecer sobre el Strip (con limusina para buscarte al hotel y volverte a llevar, con una copa de champagne) y el viaje al gran canyon en avioneta. Ambos muy buenos sinceramente. Son muy profesionales. El viaje en avioneta se hizo en una mañana con vientos bastante fuertes (lo advirtieron antes, si no querías volar te cambiaban la fecha o te reintegraban el dinero), sin embargo el piloto y su acompañante lo manejaron muy bien, prácticamente no se notó el clima no muy favorable. Muy recomendable.

First off- place is extremely easy to find. Its about 20 minutes drive from Grand Canyon Village or about 5 min from anywhere in Tusayan. Parking is ample. Check-in: Smooth as expected and staff is very friendly and share with you what all you can do while you wait for your flight Boarding: Ground crew helpfully and politely guides you to your seat (you cannot just sit wherever you want for weight distribution reasons) Flight: Worth every penny! I don't have to tell you that the views were spectacular since that's what you paid for. Added bonus - funny and chatty pilot, music in the helicopter for the few min until we're over the canyon, voiceover guidance once above the canyon.
