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.
The experience was awesome!! Everyone was great!!
The helicopter ride to and from the base of the canyon was by far the best.
Everything was great. They shuttled us from the strip to the airport and back. The plane, helicopter, and boat excursion of the Grand Canyon was one of the coolest things we've ever done. Put it on your bucket list.
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.
This boat tour experience involves a 15-minute helicopter ride across the Grand Canyon West Rim, followed by a descent onto the canyon floor and a pontoon boat ride. Thus, the experience combines an aerial experience with a journey along the Colorado River.

The pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River lasts approximately 20 minutes and offers a scenic and serene journey along the canyon floor.
While the tour is generally not strenuous, it does involve boarding a helicopter and a boat. The tour is not recommended for guests with mobility limitations.
Unfortunately, the boat tours are not wheelchair-accessible due to the terrain and vehicle design involved in reaching the canyon floor.
Absolutely! You’re encouraged to bring a camera or smartphone to capture the stunning views of the canyon from the river. Just ensure your device is secure during the boat ride.
It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to allow time for check-in, safety briefings, and transport boarding.
Restroom facilities are available at the heliports and terminals, but there are no restrooms on the canyon floor or on the boat, so plan accordingly.
