The Maverick helicopter tour from Vegas to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon was amazing! Pilot Aaron H was knowledgeable, and funny and caring. He allowed everyone to have a chance to ride in the front. From check-in to the shuttles at the west rim to the return flight - everything was wonderful! Of course, the sights are incredible!

Helicopter pilot made it fun by voicing over landmarks and maneuvering fast . Must be comfortable with height and high speeds.

Highly recommended.

Unbelievable views of not only the Grand Canyon, but also the Las Vegas strip! Outstanding trip! Our pilot (Payton), was very professional and a bit witty as well.

Must do experience at least once in your lifetime

TommyL_B, Oct 2025

Amazing trip. Pilot was super friendly, helpful and told us sights to look for on trip over. Highly recommend!

Well worth it if short on time in Las Vegas

Alan_B, Aug 2025

We took this tour during the heat of the summer, and it was fantastic. Pick up from our resort was on time, with clear instructions provided. A fairly short drive to the end of the strip and we were straight through to check-in. Shortly after, we were boarding our helicopter, with our pilot (Tyler?), who provided clear safety instructions and we were off. The flight over the strip and to/from the canyon’s west rim was smooth and rewarding in views. Just the right amount of time was left to explore the rim on foot, and shuttle bus.
