Absolutely amazing

This was definitely one of the best things we've ever done absolutely amazing, this should 100% be on your bucket list, thank you!!

Wow! A highlight.

A unique experience. Seeing the Grand Canyon from a completely different, breathtaking perspective. I must say, we were very fortunate to be only three or four with the pilot in the helicopter. In other groups, there were up to 8 passengers, which gets really cramped. Also to be criticized is the now missing shuttle service. Otherwise, it was really great.

Our pilot Doug was great, making sure we got all the photos we wanted and we appreciated his playlist! Highly recommend and it’s not cheap, but it’s genuinely worth every penny!
