Helikoptertour van 45 minuten door het Grand Canyon National Park met een optionele Hummer-tour.

Het uitzicht vanuit de canyon was spectaculair! De piloot Justin was uitstekend, zeer professioneel en zeer informatief! Deze hele ervaring zal ik nooit vergeten.

Het was teleurstellend. We brachten te veel tijd door boven het bos. De canyon was spectaculair voor degenen die konden zien. Passagiers in het midden achterin konden het nauwelijks zien. De muziek in de koptelefoon stond te hard en we konden de piloot niet horen. Al met al zeker geen waar voor je geld.

De beste manier om de Grand Canyon te zien!

Het was fantastisch... alles, van de kleine terminal tot het grondpersoneel en Tori, onze piloot. Zelfs de muziek in de helikopter maakte de ervaring zo onvergetelijk. De canyon binnenvliegen was zo adembenemend... zal een van de beste herinneringen aan deze reis zijn. Heel erg bedankt.

On Thanksgiving Day, my husband and I, along with two other unrelated couples, enjoyed an amazing Grand Canyon Maverick Helicopters tour at noon, departing from the Tusayan airport near the south rim. Our helicopter held seven guests, so we had one extra seat, which was nice. The seating is arranged by weight, so you might not get your preferred seat. (I would have chosen to sit next to the pilot, but I ended up in a side window seat in the back row, which was fine since we didn’t land again until the end.) Our pilot, B.J., was calm, experienced, and personable. During the flight, he shared just the right amount of facts about the canyon and surrounding park, while a fitting soft rock soundtrack, curated by B.J., played through our headphones, changing with each phase of the flight. The gray leather seats were comfortable (though not rotating), and we enjoyed excellent views, both near and far, as we flew over the sunny south rim, the snowy north rim, and mostly in between, gazing down at the cliffs and the Colorado River far below. The 30+-minute canyon tour was a perfect length for appreciating the canyon’s grandeur, although I could have easily spent all day gliding over those views! The takeoff and landing were incredibly smooth, and the spacious Maverick waiting area (with a fireplace & restrooms) and gift shop were top-notch. They took photos of us at the start and end, standing by the helicopter, and then offered us an official photo and DVD to remember our flight. It was certainly a memorable Thanksgiving Day! (One photo tip: wear black if you don’t want to see yourself reflected in the windows while taking pictures.)
