Breathtaking

This was an expensive trip worth every penny. A one off experience I’ll never forget. After the minefield of options and filtering reviews we decided to do the vegas departure round trip with Maverick Helicopters and loved every minute of it. No driving at all except a quick bus at Grand Canyon and Uber to the airport. Shared the helicopter with 2 other couples. Lots of in-air time. Got reseated at each landing too so everyone got to sit all around the helicopter. Had plenty of adventure time at stops and time to snack. Advice…wear sunscreen and bring a large cold water each. The ride was flawless, friendly and lots of facts and knowledge all in good humour from the pilot. In a single word…AWESOME!
