Absolutely brilliant day! Early pick up ( 5.15am) for 7am helicopter. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly, views amazing. Onto the rafting absolutely fantastic experience. Sarah our guide was also amazing. Well worth the money, wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Highly recommend this tour

The helicopter tour was very cool. We had 4 people on our flight along with the pilot. We were asked if we wanted to upgrade for $60 each to sit in the front, which we opted to do. The pilot played a music soundtrack throughout the flight, which enhanced the trip. We had excellent views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Colorado River into the Grand Canyon. We landed inside the Canyon for around 30 mins for photos and a champagne break with snacks. This was my favorite part! After, we returned to the airstrip and were shuttled by van to the rafting company. The rafting part was interesting—motorized and a bit slow. We were given a boxed lunch that we could eat at our leisure. I would bring a jacket for this portion. It was sometimes windy and water would spray up at the boat and a bit cool.

Schöner Hubschrauberflug in den...

Schöner Hubschrauberflug in den Grand Canyon. Erstklassige Betreuung durch das lokale Team von Papillon. Auch die Bootsfahrt hat mit Rafting eigentlich nichts zu tun bietet wunderschöne landschaftliche Eindrücke. Reibungsloser Ablauf durch das Team vor Ort. Mit diesem muss man sich rechtzeitig in Verbindung setzen schon um die Treffpunkte bzw, Abholpunkte und Abfahrtszeiten 5.30! zu vereinbaren. Von Viator gibt es keine Infos. Direkt bei Papillon zu buchen wäre sinnvoller und günstiger.
