- grace pugmireI booked this flight online with little research and went into it with a little hesitation. It was AMAZING! From the shuttle picking us up from the hotel, to the staff in the waiting area, and our amazing captain. Everything felt so safe and it made the experience very enjoyable. Our captain was awesome the whole experience was amazing. When I was booking this experience, someone commented “don’t think, just do it” and that is exactly what I was thinking the whole time. I would go back again in a heartbeat. Just do it!!read moreread lessShelly BacaIf you are thinking of doing a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon then GC Flight comes highly recommended. They picked us up from our hotel and the flight was just so amazing, Our pilot was Mad Dog Mike AKA Captain Crunch is what he told us. Lots of fun and knowledge. We will defiantly do this again.read moreread less
- Beth SavageWe toured the grand canyon with GC flight and had a spectacular day and experience. We were picked up outside our Vegas strip hotel, taken to Boulder city airport where we boarded a propeller plane. We flew over lovely topography and landed on a reservation. We boarded a helicopter, which was an amazing treat for our kids and us, and flew right down into the canyon. We then boarded a pontoon boat and traveled about a mile up the Colorado river. We flew back to the rim and traveled by bus to various vantage points and vistas. The glass floor walkway over the canyon was included but not as amazing as I expected. That said, it was a wonderful day. I suggest bringing water and snacks as the day is a fast paced.read moreread lessChristina ArobiekeThe entire experience was seamless! From booking, to shuttle pick up, meeting the pilot and fellow passengers, landing etc. The service exceptional, the staff professional and friendly. The pilot made us feel safe and well looked after, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to fly with them again in future. My friend and I did the red rock canyon tour within Vegas, if you want a longer and more breath taking experience, which maybe a little more expensive, I'd say do the grand canyon.read moreread less
- Dune 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! The whole thing was an amazing experience. Definitely worth the money.read moreread lessAnne FrenchThe flight to the Grand Canyon was wonderful. our pilot was very knowledgeable about the area and the sites. He was wonderful. The flight to the Grand Canyon is a memory to last a lifetime. We had an awesome time! We also got to walk around the canyon and alternated seats to and from the canyon. We flew over the Hoover dam. This is a worthwhile trip and an excursion you dont want to miss.I recommend this to people of all ages.Anne French. York Haven, PA.read moreread lessRobin ChiangThis tour exceeded expectations on multiple levels. The information was so interesting, history/geography and Las Vegas history as well as the tribal land. We felt 110% safe every bit of the tour and it was just the right amount of time. Everyone should see the grand canyon from above like this - breathtaking! Mad Dog was the best tour guide, I highly recommend him!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 lessanna wongVery well organized from start to finish. We had an excellent pilot. His name is Brandon. He explained all the safety features clearly before we started our flight. He was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and alerted us to what we were about to see as we approached the highlights so we wouldn't miss all the important details. We had three kids who continuously asked many questions while we were in the air and Brandon told them seriously and he answered ALL their questions. We were impressed and truly felt that he tried his very best to make sure we all had the best time possible. We highly recommend GC flight. It was indeed a trip of a life time !read moreread less
- Anneliese CannaI’m extremely satisfied with not only our helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon but my overall experience with GC Flight. I made a bit of a mistake in my booking of this- I accidentally scheduled our flight a little too close to a timeshare meeting my husband and I had to attend. I called the company to see if there was anything they could do such as scheduling us to a later flight time but unfortunately they could not, which is fine, but they assisted me the best they could which I’m entirely grateful for. The manager gave me a call to work out a timeline in which if we could stick to it we would arrive in time. Thankfully we managed to make it all work. Our pilot was Kyley- she was so fun and did her job well! The winds were fairly strong that day but we would have never known! I would HIGHLY recommend GC Flight!read moreread lessEric HambrechtWhat an amazing way to see the Grand Canyon. The experience was flawless. From the booking to the check in and then the flight, GC hit all the marks. My wife was panicked, but once we landed and she felt safe, she had a smile from ear to ear. I highly recommend this excursion!!read moreread less
- Gina CollinsThis was my first time to see the Grand Canyon and ride in a Helicopter. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and informative of what we were seeing. The flight was smooth and we had a wonderful time. Well worth the money and I highly recommend this company! We were able to purchase a digital photo frame after we got back that also had a video on it. This is something everyone should do at least once in their life!read moreread less
