Very little wait time. Everything happened exactly on schedule. Wonderful views. The pilot was skilled and friendly while very professional. This is a once in a lifetime experience. If you can't decide, just spend the money you won't regret this experience. What you will regret is if you don't do this you will regret for a lifetime. For those afraid of hights or confined spaces, don't be. I'm 6'4" and weigh 282 lbs and I had plenty of room. My wife doesn't like hights but she was extremely comfortable as the helicopter felt very safe and stable.

The booking process was seamless, check in process was easy and the pilot was great. As we flew over various spots of the canyon we were explained in detail what each one of them was and the significance of them all. Highly recommend Maverick Helicopters to anyone looking for an experience of their lifetime.

Absolutely incredible experience! I was nervous the entire time and still has a blast! Pilots were great. Professional and informative. Worth every penny. Feel like we should have done both the plane and helicopter rides
