Awful

Booked in Dec 25 for our Jun/Jul holiday. 5 Star contacted me by Whatsapp on our arrival in Vegas on 28th June to check we were in Vegas for our trip on 2nd July. I should have been worried as they put a completely different name on the Whats app. Confirmed we were in Vegas and asked them for pick up details for the trip. I was told these would be provided the afternoon before our trip. They duly contacted me and provided pick up time etc. They did ask if we were flexible on time as 11am flght booked but it may be 1pm. They would confirm the morning of the trip. 5 Star cancelled on the morning of the trip as they could not get 6 people for the trip. Why did you not tell us when we first arrived in Vegas that the trip may not go ahead. It gave us no time to find an alternative provider. Thanks 5 Star Helicopters for ruining the trip of a lifetime on our wedding anniversary. 1 star given but should be none.

Helicopter Tour

Our pilot, Marcus was amazing! He offered a fun, narrative guided tour in the air. It was definitely a 5 Star experience flying over Mead Lake, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.

Must do!

From weather updates before the flight to final hotel drop-off, this experience was amazing! Bob was very accommodating for our pickup, communication from 5 Star was fantastic, and our pilot was personable, funny, and very professional. We saw the Hoover Dam and went fairly deep into the Grand Canyon. We were shown how small the glass overhang was and how far away it was. If you don’t have a full day to see the Canyon on foot, this was pricier but definitely worth it!

Afraid of heights? No problem!

I was scared at first because I am afraid of heights. It didn’t bother me at all. It was magical. I’m sold on seeing our natural wonders via helicopter now. Lucas was an amazing pilot and tour guide. Very informational and calming. Loved this outing!💕
