WOW. Just got back from our flight and I can't stop smiling! The pilot was suuuper chill and told us all these wild facts about the canyon. I was a bit nervous at first but honestly, once we were in the air it felt totally safe. The views are honestly UNREAL, like I kept grabbing my boyfriend's arm and going 'look, look!!'. Yes, it's pricey, but you only do this once right? Bring sunglasses, the glare is real. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

We booked for a family adventure and it was mostly great. Check-in was quick but the waiting area got pretty crowded (kids got restless). The staff handled it well though. Flight itself was STUNNING—our 9 yr old kept saying 'this is cooool'. Only thing, wish it lasted a bit longer. Worth it for the memories!

Ok, so it's def expensive but I honestly don't regret it. We got lucky with the weather—clear skies for days. Our pilot (shoutout to Dave) was friendly and cracked a few jokes. The only downside was I felt a bit rushed at the end, but overall, totally recommend.
