Flight and views from the helicopter were amazing! Hummer tour is just the driving route through the park which you can do yourself, but what made it worth it was the guide. Ours was Trey and he was excellent! Knew how the formations were named, lives in the park and knows the local area. Trey made the whole experience much more enjoyable!

One of the most exciting adventures we have ever had! We highly recommend seeing the Grand Canyon in a helicopter. The staff on the ground were so fun & helpful, they made it more enjoyable.

Helicopter ride was fantastic, don't be afraid of heights! You get how big and deep the canyon truly is.
Bucket List experience

Excellent view of the Grand Canyon. Pilot was very informative and ride was smooth. Would have liked if the helicopter descended a little into the Grand Canyon. Excellent service upon arrival...very friendly staff.
Truly rewarding to our existence

It was a beautiful experience above the Canyons, very emotional and vulnerable. The overpowering Canyons make you feel very humble and acceptable to the nature we live in.
So much fun!
Kristen_H, Nov 2023
Kara was our pilot and she was awesome! We had three 18 year olds and two adults. It was such a great experience. We did the 25 minute Grand Canyon tour.
Awesome!
Jeroen_V, Oct 2023
The tour was awesome! Although we paid for the 25 min tour we got 45 min in the heli. The ground staff (big bold black guy) is not friendly so that’s why 4 stars out of 5. The pilot Dan (as I remember right) was really nice! He made my day.
Excellent

Our pilot Kara, was super nice. Our hummer tour with Tyler was well worth the money. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. 10 out of 10
Great Experience
David_O, Jul 2023
The experience was amazing. The pilots and crew were very kind and knowledgeable. The sights were so beautiful. Thank You!
Would do it again
Edgar_P, Jul 2023
Great views. Little bit of turbulence from weather but adds to the experience and excitement. It would be awesome if they could fly into the canyon since they have TOP GUN music going in the back ground.
Best Tour so far
