My experience with Papillon Helicopters was absolutely fantastic—I could not have hoped for anything better! From start to finish, the staff made everything smooth and enjoyable. The check-in process was easy, the team was professional and friendly, and safety was clearly a top priority.The helicopter ride itself was unforgettable. The views of the Grand Canyon from above were breathtaking—seeing the canyon walls, the river, and the vast expanse from that perspective was truly once-in-a-lifetime. I was pleasantly surprised when Corey, our pilot, started playing the main Star Wars theme just as we were ascending. That made it even better! Canyon. If you want an experience that combines adventure, beauty, and top-notch service, this is it!

Everyone, and I mean everyone, reception, ground crew, and pilot were super. They were professional, polite, and very helpful. Once airborn the tour was unbelievable. You could see things you'd never see from the ground. The pilot's narrative was quite useful, and his choice of music added a bit of humor to the experience. My wife and I would recommend it to everybody. It was worth every penny.

We took this tour of the Grand Canyon with a bit of awe. Actually the tour is extraordinary with great professionalism of the whole team. In the headphones we had the translation in Italian and the show was indescribable, really exciting! Absolutely not to be missed

    It was an unforgettable experience! Our pilot (Kalon) guided us and calmed our initial nerves. Otherwise, we just enjoyed the amazing scenery. It was great!

    Obviously the scenery is amazing but we were really disappointed with absolutely zero commentary from our pilot. We were two of his three passengers and he spent the whole flight just communicating with the passenger who had paid more to sit up front. Some comments of what we were looking at would’ve been appreciated as I feel that’s what you pay for and their advertisement indicated we’d get. Hummer tour - absolutely brilliant. Our guide was super informative and helpful ensuring every passenger got the most out of it. Highly recommend this part of the tour.
