Both my wife Pam and myself are still trying to find the words to describe this experience. Above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Our pilot, Fred, was very knowledgeable and made the flight that much more. Thanks and thanks again. This is the way to see the Grand Canyon. Also, the folks that helped at the station were the friendliest folk around. It was one of those events that we will remember for a long, long time. Thanks for the memories....

We really enjoyed our flight to see the Grand Canyon. This was our first view of the canyon... a great experience.
Review by: Janice D, March 2015
Once we checked in we actually upgraded our tour to the 45 minute version and it was outstanding in every way! Would highly recommend this company and this adventure was one of the highlights of our entire trip! It puts the size of the Grand Canyon into perspective that you just can't get from walking on the rim!

Wonderful tout. Worth it!!!! There are several companies and offices at airport. It is better to mention Maverick company and provide map of airport on voucher.

We really enjoyed our helicopter ride! Very pleased with our Pilot---Brett! _br/_ Our trip was valuable to our first visit to Grand Canyon. Thank You.

I had to sit in the back in the middle, so I didn't have the best view. I'm sure that it was because I was heavier than the other passengers. It was a great ride, but I wish I could have had a better seat.

Very well organised. Smooth flight and, of course, fabulous scenery. People vry friendly and efficient.
Review by: Kerry P, January 2014
The pilot David was fantastic. It was our first time on a helicopter. We all felt safe and were entertained with his fun and extensive Grand Canyon knowledge. A trip we will never forget. Thank you all :)
Review by: William L, December 2013
Wow. What a great ride. Nice "terminal", professional people, great friendly pilot, smooth ride, beautiful view, and what appears to be a very modern Helicopter... 4 X 4 Seating on our trip, the filled the front row (Pilot + 3), and the back row had 2, one on each window, so that way everyone had a window seat. would recommend to everyone.
Review by: alexander f, October 2013
This was an excellent tour and worth every penny particularly as we were upgraded by Maverick to the 45 minute trip instead of the 25 minute.
Review by: Derek W, August 2013
Great value helicopter trip through part of the Grand Canyon. You get to see South and North rim and fly below the rim a little. Due to restrictions which minimise the noise for other visitors it is not a fly anywhere trip, but you see plenty and it is an ideal complement to a hike below the rim.
Review by: James S, July 2013
All in all, a great experience!

what can i say great flight great pilot fantastic experience
Review by: Lliberated, July 2012
Great trip. Very well organised. Great way to see the Grand Canyon. Would definitely recommend this trip.
Review by: Peter M C, April 2012
Seeing Grand Canyon was amazing. Seeing it via helicopter too was the icing on the cake. Incredible. The helicopter was modern and the pilots knowledgeable and friendly. This is a "must" for anyone visiting the Canyon. It goes to places hat yo rarely see from he ground. We went in mid April and you can't even get to the North Rim until May, but that didn;t stop the helicopter._br/_ You can get a DVD of the adventure to remember it forever.
Review by: JAN M, April 2012
It was a wonderful experience...the absolutely best way to see the Grand CanyonI highly recommend it to everyone who visits the Grand Canyon.
Review by: Christopher B, April 2012
Awesome. Everyone at Maverick was wonderful. The pilots were great and since it was windy, other companies were not flying--but we did and it was awesome. If you go to the canyon you have to do a helicopter ride...

The flight was fantastic. Friendly staff and good service. Although it was only 25 minutes, but the flight seemed longer. The views were marvellous. Highly recommended
