The booking process was seamless, check in process was easy and the pilot was great. As we flew over various spots of the canyon we were explained in detail what each one of them was and the significance of them all. Highly recommend Maverick Helicopters to anyone looking for an experience of their lifetime.

Absolutely incredible experience! I was nervous the entire time and still has a blast! Pilots were great. Professional and informative. Worth every penny. Feel like we should have done both the plane and helicopter rides

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

We took a tour of the Grand Canyon with Papillon during our visit to Las Vegas. We'd never been to the Grand Canyon before, and this was DEFINITELY the way to see it! The pilot was super friendly and explained everything that was happening and what we were seeing, and she had a great sense of humor, made the ride really fun. Got to see Lake Meade and the Hoover Dam from above as well as views of the canyon that we never would have gotten any other way. Wonderful experience!

The whole trip was great especially the flight into the Grand Canyon but the small aeroplane flight from Boulder City to Grand Canyon West was fabulous too as we got to see so much. The pontoon boat at the bottom of the Canyon was brilliant. The whole trip was so worth the money.

I was hesitant on taking this tour due to the high cost but i can honestly say that this heli flight was value for money. We had spent 3 weeks in the USA and taken many tours and the flight with Maverick to the Grand Canyon was the highlight of our entire trip.

The flight in small plane to Grand Canyon was fun. Great views on the way, then after landing quick helicopter flight to canyon river, 20 min river ride with great guy on boat, then slightly longer helicopter ride back up to top, and the bus to view point and food. Great views all around, amazing place you all have to see!!

The pilot was very professional and friendly. The ride was very smooth and this comes from someone who does not tolerate any type of turbulence. The take off and landing were very smooth. I sat in the front seat and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. My only complaint was that we had to wait 1 hour before our flight. This cut into the time we had for our bus tour. We had to skip on the sky walk in order to catch our return bus. But the helicopter ride was far better .

Took my parents and younger bro on this trip and it was honestly EPIC. We lucked out with the weather (sunny but not murder-hot) and our guide, Haejin, was super chill and cracked jokes all day. Nami Island is suuuper cute—those tree-lined paths! We rented bikes (def do that if u don’t wanna walk forever). Seorak Mountain was a bit crowded but the cable car views were wild. Packed snacks and was glad I did since the food stalls at Seorak had huge lines. Heads up: bring bug spray for the hike. Would totally do this again!

Jun 2025Verified Partner Review
Went with my boyfriend and we loved it! The bus ride out of Seoul is kinda long but our guide put on kpop and made it fun. Nami Island was straight out of a movie—saw a bunch of squirrels and even a white peacock (??). Seorak was a highlight, especially the cable car, but warning: it gets windy up top, hold ur hat! We grabbed lunch at one of the local places near the base—oodles of noodles. 100% recommend for a day escape from the city.

Went solo b/c my friends bailed, but didn’t regret it. Guide was friendly, group was a mixed bunch—families, some couples. Nami Island in the morning was really peaceful, but it got PACKED after 11am. Seorak is stunning, but ngl the steps up to the observatory are a workout so wear good shoes. It rained a bit in the afternoon but still got amazing pics. Wish we had 30 more mins at the mountain but overall, worth it.

The flight was very exciting and the views were spectacular. Our pilot was so professional and friendly. All the staff were there courteous and helpful. This is the only way to view the magnificent Grand Canyon. We flew during the noon hour but plan to return one day and fly late afternoon to see how the colors of the canyon might change. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. We loved it!!!!

Took my parents and younger bro on this trip and it was honestly EPIC. We lucked out with the weather (sunny but not murder-hot) and our guide, Haejin, was super chill and cracked jokes all day. Nami Island is suuuper cute—those tree-lined paths! We rented bikes (def do that if u don’t wanna walk forever). Seorak Mountain was a bit crowded but the cable car views were wild. Packed snacks and was glad I did since the food stalls at Seorak had huge lines. Heads up: bring bug spray for the hike. Would totally do this again!

Family trip with two kids (7 and 10). Guide was AMAZING with the kids, kept them entertained with games on the bus. Nami Island is a kid’s paradise, ducks everywhere. Seorak Mountain was a bit tiring for the little one but cable car saved the day. Pack extra water!

Hot day but still worth it. Nami Island was packed but we found a quiet spot near the water. Seorak Mountain cable car line was long (bring patience). Good vibes overall.

Went solo b/c my friends bailed, but didn’t regret it. Guide was friendly, group was a mixed bunch—families, some couples. Nami Island in the morning was really peaceful, but it got PACKED after 11am. Seorak is stunning, but ngl the steps up to the observatory are a workout so wear good shoes. It rained a bit in the afternoon but still got amazing pics. Wish we had 30 more mins at the mountain but overall, worth it.

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Nice, but too many people. Nami Island was packed by noon. Seorak Mountain hike was ok, but we had to rush. Guide tried to keep everyone happy but it was hard with such a big group.

Just got back from this tour with my bestie and we’re tired but happy. Nami Island is cute and photogenic, just be ready for crowds. Seorak Mountain is the real deal, especially the cable car ride. Bring cash for snacks. Guide was nice but group was big so felt a bit impersonal.

Went with my boyfriend and we loved it! The bus ride out of Seoul is kinda long but our guide put on kpop and made it fun. Nami Island was straight out of a movie—saw a bunch of squirrels and even a white peacock (??). Seorak was a highlight, especially the cable car, but warning: it gets windy up top, hold ur hat! We grabbed lunch at one of the local places near the base—oodles of noodles. 100% recommend for a day escape from the city.

Did this trip with my partner. Weather was HOT, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Nami Island is really something else, all those tall trees and birds. We skipped the bike rental but kinda wish we hadn’t, it’s bigger than it looks. Seorak Mountain hike was doable, not too steep. Only thing: bus AC wasn’t strong, so ride back was sweaty. Still a really good day.

Took my parents for their anniversary. Guide was super sweet and kept checking in on them. Nami Island was a hit, especially with all the flowers. Seorak Mountain hike was a bit much for them but they loved the cable car. Highly recommend, especially for families.

Not usually a tour person but this was worth it. Early start but got to Nami before the tourist bus wave. Seorak Mountain hike kicked my butt but the view at the top? UNREAL. Guide was funny and let us roam a bit. Bring water, trust me.

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

Hopping on the chopper was the best experience of my life. I am usually a little giddy up in the air, but the pilot and co-pilot were super friendly and helped distracting me.

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.
