- Paul MartineauFrom the time I called to set up our ride , to the time our ride was complete, GC Flight/Maverick was a TOTAL CLASS outfit to deal with!!!! Set up was simple, and two calls with questions leading up to the ride were all done by an amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Then the flight. TRUELY AMAZING!!! GREAT PILOT!!! Smooth Flight, with the pilot making sure everything we were taking in , was explained along the way. Meeting others from around the world added even more to the adventure.(We are from Mass. and the other 4 guests, were retired grandparents w/their 2 grandsons from Australia). The Canyon- The Dam -The People - and The Champagne toast while on the ground in the canyon made for a memory that is in many pictures, but will never leave our minds. Knowing we would be visiting Las Vegas in Sept. , I promised my wife when we got married in June of this year, that this would be my wedding gift to her. This was the best gift, I could ever give to her and to myself.

It exceeded my expectation. The pilot was very knowledgeable and we felt very safe in his hands as we flew over lake mead, the Hover dam and through the Grand Canon. We touched down in the Valley of Fire for a brief stop and then the sunset flight into the city was something I will remember for the rest of my life. Amazing experience. Highly recommended!read moreread less
- Amy MenendezEVERYONE was friendly and courteous. I booked our GC helicopter floor landing tour online early one morning (eastern time) and within minutes, someone from their facility called me ( it was like 5am her time) to confirm the trip. I was impressed. They send emails with instructions on when and where to be picked up. Their website is very informative. Zach was our pilot and was a great sport. He did a great job explaining everything. It was AMAZING and worth it. There were a few let downs, but that's not 100% their fault. Depending on your seat (they weigh you at check in and then assign seats) depends on your view. I was in the back, 2 seats in, my views were not what I was hoping for, BUT, I still got some amazing photos and there are no words to describe the beauty you get to see. I wish we were given more time to explore. The picnic was adorable. Don't be a gross human and leave your trash and cigarette butts scattered about. Your return route is different, wish we knew that ahead of time as I was hoping to get more pictures of what I missed on the way in. I understand due to flight routes and rules, but a heads up would be nice. Still, 100% would do it again. AMAZING!read moreread lessMargaret ForshagWe had a fantastic time on our helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon! GC flight was organized and professional and made the process of getting from our Vegas hotel to the airport and back again totally seamless. Our pilot was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! The whole experience was one of the most special things I've ever done.read moreread less
- Harry LerwillI surprised the wife with a trip up the Grand Canyon, and both of us rate it as one of the best experiences of our lives. Riding in an helicopter was on her bucket list, seeing Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon this way made it the more memorable. The pilot was very knowlegable about the history and region, and the excellent noise-cancelling headphones made hearing him very easy. We plan to go back and enjoy the canyon floor flight next year.read moreread lessAmy McCarthyThis was such a fun experience! The staff was professional, polite and enthusiastic! Our pilot, Mike, was so friendly and informative. This was our first experience in a helicopter and it was fantastic. So much fun seeing the Grand Canyon and Hoover fam from the air. Our driver that picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off was Miko and he was funny, polite and a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone heading to Las Vegas.read moreread less
- HYDRILLA GEARGC was extremely accommodating and the flight to the bottom of the Grand Canyon was simply amazing! Pictures do not do this experience justice. In my opinion it's a must in life. Our Pilot was an ex military helicopter pilot. He made us feel safe and we had a smooth flight throughout the entire tour. He narrated during the trip which was great and informative. GC FLIGHT is doing it right! Thank you GC and it's staff for such a memorable trip!read moreread less
- Oliver McGlincheyWe booked a helicopter landing tour of the Grand Canyon with GC Flight. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.We were picked-up from our hotel at the designated time and taken to Boulder City Airstrip. On arrival we were given complimentary water, checked-in and given a safety briefing. About 20 mins after arrival we were introduced to our pilot. I can't remember his name but he was amazing and very friendly and informative. He eased any nerves we had about flying in a helicopter.The tour itself was great, it did what it said on the tin and we got to see all the sites. When we landed we had almost 2 hours to tour the 3 different viewing points on the West Side of the canyon. The time allotted at the Canyon was perfect, not too long nor too short. On return we flew over native American heartlands and thus is where the pilot was so informative.To finish, I would highly recommend GC Flights for your Grand Canyon experience.Oliver & Lorrsineread moreread lessDune JohnsonThe trip was a bucket list for me, but my wife just came along because she wanted to let me have my experience. However, she now raves about how the experience changed her life!!! When we landed in the Valley of Fire and could see millions-of-years-old ocean fossils under our feet, it was an amazing experience of this human adventure on this amazing planet!
