The best time in the air!

This is an absolute must do!!!! The sights are amazing and the pilot , LUCAS, was amazing!! He knew the area knew the history had great information. Took us down into the Grand Canyon. Was very attentive and he had a great memory of names and situations of his guests!!!! His service didn’t stop in the air he was informative about the ranch and welcoming at the airport. Can’t say enough about this outfit as the entire team at 5 star helicopters were amazing. My first time and I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience!!

An amazing experience

An amazing experience for us all to enjoy. Lucas was a super guide, calm and very informative. Views of the canyon were superb. We saw so much more than we would have done on the bus. Totally worth every penny!

Breathtaking

Absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived the whole process was so slick. I was (quietly) a little bit terrified but was immediately put at ease. The flight was incredible, the pilot constantly talked to us throughout the flight to explain the landscape and sights, and took all and every question. Scenery was breathtaking. Really informative and fun. Face hurt from smiling so much.
