Best family trip

Juan_M, Dec 2024

We had plan this trip for a while and never thought it would be this wonderful our kids loved getting on the plane and flying over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon we definitely recommend it. We will be coming back as my 7 year old daughter loved it so much that she wants to come back for her birthday..

Great quick excursion when staying in Vegas

BethMiller, Dec 2024

Great experience, beautiful views of the dam and the grand cannon. Pilots were knowledgeable and friendly.

Hoover

Jaganathan_G, Nov 2024

I was sitting on the right side. I was not able to see Hoover dam. They should make sure everyone sees it. Better to show while going and again while return

It was cool to see from the place like that.

Bobby_E, Nov 2024

The pilot was great friendly guy. I thought the tour would be longer than an hour. I did not see it said approximately 1 hour till day of trip. It say approximately 4 hours in the title so was thing was longer...I didn't take in account they count travel time from hotel

Stepping up the sightseeing flight

Bapi_N, Oct 2024

The views of the Colorado River and Lake Mead were beautiful. It would have been nice to have a pre-recorded back ground audio of the sights. The recording could have covered the sculpture-like mountain faces and those that look like mountains.

Not to be missed

INDRAJIT_R, Oct 2024

Excellent experience. Experienced pilots and very friendly. The entire experience was seamless and very memorable.

Beautiful view

Martha_D, Oct 2024

It was a great way to see the Grand Canyon & the Hoover Dam in a short period of time. The arial view was amazing!

Awesome!!!

Colleen_C, Sep 2024

Professional Service

Marilyn_K, Sep 2024

Great service from start to finish. Great contact, excellent efficient collection service and very professional service throughout the full morning.

The flight was very nice,...

Geoff_L, Sep 2024

The flight was very nice, but a couple of things were problematic: 1. It’s not worth the money paid. If it was 100 usd cheaper it may be okay. The flight also does not go down very low - eg Hoover dam can’t really see much, and they just seemed to be going through the motions to get the flight over and done with 2. Some of the staff were snooty. This is not a great look and indicates people issues in this company Some more competitors for this company would get them to sharpen up their act.

100% recommend!

Kathleen_F, Sep 2024

Amazing experience! 100% worth it to do for a once in a lifetime experience. Staff were all so kind and friendly, the tour was unreal!

Mesmerising and felt really safe

alex_t, Aug 2024

Just to see a national landmark from the sky was breathtaking and couldn’t believe we were flying over all that beautiful landscape

Daniel_J, Aug 2024

Great experience from start to finish. Only recommendation is to take a small handheld fan because the plane can get hot.

Breathtaking

Wes_J, Aug 2024

Amazing views throughout, the hover dam and the grand canyon, amazed at how vast it is. Would definitely return to do the helicopter next.

Excellent view!

dae_a, Aug 2024

The best thing of all was the spectacular view of the Grand Canyon. Our flight was at 7:30am but it would have been better to have left later so we could have been more awake and enjoyed everything with more enthusiasm. The captain and co-pilot were very professional!

Down Under travellers

Sarah_A, Jul 2024

The Tour's unique ability to capture the history, geology and sheer natural beauty of the Canyon sets it apart as a truly worthwhile experience.

Viator plane Grand Canyon great!!!!

hollykeph, Jun 2024

Pilot, bus driver JOE superb..all personnel deserve raises. Flight great just what we wanted. Thank you

A great view of the Grand Canyon!

Kimberly_K, Jun 2024

Great experience! Our pilots were friendly and seemed very knowledgeable. They were anticipating some choppiness, which they relayed to us prior to the flight and also shared a few updates along the way. I’d never been to the Grand Canyon before but my boyfriend has and he said seeing it by plane is the way to do it — much better view. You wear headphones during the flight that plays music and has a voice over that shares information and history on what you’re flying past. The pilots can program up to 4 different languages for this so it’s super inclusive of those who aren’t fluent in English. I think my group had 3 languages set up. My only complaint is that the headphones are not very good and don’t block out some of the airplane noises so it can be a little hard to hear what the recording is saying. If you are afraid of small planes or tight spaces, this is NOT the tour for you! I think the plane had 20ish seats and it’s not roomy.

Grand Canyon flight. DO IT, IT’S GREAT

Lee_B, May 2024

From pick up at the hotel to getting on the flight, everything was professional. As for the Grand Canyon it’s one of the seven natural wonders of the world for a reason and we chose an incredible way to see it. When onboard you have headphones with historical commentary which also included a fly over the Hoover Dam and fascinating information about its building. Well worth the money, thoroughly enjoyed it.
