We are so pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with us and enjoyed the Grand Canyon's natural beauty! It's fantastic to know our pilot's knowledge and humor made your flight even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing and for flying with Maverick Helicopters!
The trip was absolutely amazing! The views you get are incredibly beautiful and unable to experience any other way. The tour we did landed in the rainforest and the captain found some fruit right off the trees for us to try! Captain Nick was very knowledgable of the area and very friendly, making the experience even better! He had a playlist running in the background during the tour that added to the atmosphere. This was definitely worth every penny! Captain Nick and staff were wonderful. No complaints what so ever!

It was amazing. Smooth ride. Beautiful views. I drove to the Canyon Park once and was so tired that I did nothing for the next two days. I totally recommend it because it’s not just a time saver it’s the best option. I asked a local about your company and I had to chose Maverick. Also our pilot, Ezra, was very nice and his playlist was very cool.

Our Maverick Helicopter experience was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas.
The professionalism and knowledge that our pilot Ben shared with us added to the experience. Landing in the Grand Canyon is a must.
Thank you.

We were told the fly time will be around 25 mins though the Canyon and get to spend 20 mins at the bottom . The trip hardly lasted 30 mins . It was a straight drop to the Canyon and fly back up . Not worth the money . I will not recomment this to anyone.
Everything from the check in, waiting area, pilot and ride was 1st class service. I plan to go again. My friend had the best seat, I had the worst, it is all up to weigh in and load balance, Even so the ride was fantastic and my friend go awesome videos.
