Absolutely outstanding way to see the majesty and incredible size of the Grand Canyon. Highly recommended. Eric was our pilot, shared great information about the geology, development, and size of the canyon. The weather was perfect and the flight, a bit bumpy at first, smoothed out over the canyon. My daughter was in the front row and me in the back. Views mostly unobstructed, even from the back. I can't imagine a better was to see the GC for the first time.

On my husbands bucket list. Very well organised, he really enjoyed. If you don't go and are waiting nice comfy lounge area and a little coffee shop inside.

The flight was great. It is a nice way to see parts of the Grand Canyon you could not see unless you hiked into the Canyon.

Our pilot spent an extra 15 minutes in the canyon with us making it over an hour. He was fabulous and made sure we saw, photographed and video taped all the good stuff! I would highly recommend them!

Unfortunately on the day of our scheduled flight it was very windy. We were advised that we would be unable to take the 45 minute flight due to safety reasons. Either we could come back tomorrow, which wasn't an option for us as we were leaving Arizona then, or we may be able to take the 25 minute flight if the returning pilot okays this. Fortunately we were able to take the 25 minute flight._br/_ The views from the helicopter were spectacular to say the least. The pilot was very imformative with his commentary throughout the flight._br/_ If you are considering whether or not to do this flight, as I was, I would highly recommend you do as you will not be disappointed._br/_ Were advised by the staff there to inform Viator of the alteration to our booking and apply for a refund of the difference between the 45 and 25 minute flights, which we did. This process took a while to complete but was worth it as Viator refunded us the difference for which we were grateful for.

What a memory to treasure for a lifetime! The entrance into the canyon was breath-taking. Our pilot was excellent. We felt safe and he provided wonderful information for us.

Other than the 120 fuel surcharge we were hit with at the counter it was an amazing experience and still totally worth it.

Spencer, our pilot was terrific, very knowledgeable and provided a great narrative as we flew over the canyon. Would love to do this again!

I had been looking forward very much to this helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon. However, it was most unfortunate that I was allocated a central seat in the rear of the helicopter. The person to my left and to my right took lots of photos , as did the people in the front seats. This meant that my vision was substantially impaired and I did not experience the thrill that I was looking forward to nor the thrill that the other passengers felt._br/_ The pilot was very friendly and at one point hovered to allow the views and photos. However the points of interest were to the right and my wife sitting to my left and I in the central rear expected the pilot to turn round to allow the good view to be sharted by all passengers. This did not happen. In the end, a disappointing experience. My advice is to try and ensure front seats on the helicopter.

The 8-seater choppers provide excellent views with big windows all around. The pilot flew as quickly over the tree tops to get to the Canyon as possible to ensure we maximized our viewing time. He provided good commentary. The views are spectacular. I was originally thinking of going by plane but really glad I took the chopper. Fully recommend it

Trip starts in a nicely appointed waiting room with comfortable couches. Helicopters are recent models of high quality. Pilot was thorough and shared insights about Grand Canyon._br/_ Trip was so beautiful didn't bother to drive into park.

This was awesome! Maverick Helicopters is the way to go for the GC tour! Super cool and informative ride.

My mom, kids, and I had a great time! The tour guide was friendly and accommodating for my mom who has knee issues. So scenic! Would totally do it again!

What an experience to have and the best way to see so much of the canyon that you dont see from standing at the rim. Maverick h3licopters were a very professional company and our pilot Fred was brilliant. Informative but not over the top and gave you time to take the wonders all in but witty and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Could not rate it high enough

Unforgettable experience - We can highly recommend this tour with Maverick helicopter company : _br/_ Thor and Freyja - Iceland

Wow, wow, wow - don't miss it whatever you do. Great trip with a first class pilot.
Review by: Dennis L, November 2017
Fantastic experience. Staff were great and our pilot was very knowledgeable. Building at the airport clearly marked. Departed right on time so don't be late for your scheduled flight.
Review by: Nigel, November 2017
If you are in the front you get a panoramic view of the canyon but in the back you get a panoramic view of the front passengers. Its very unfair that Maverick charge the same price whether you are in the front or the back of this helicopter. Very frustrating when three of the passengers are whooping with joy as they board..... As several reviewers have pointed out, if you are an average male you should expect to be in the rear seat and if you are in the middle dont expect to capture any decent photos. Sorry Maverick, but this is grossly unfair.
