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.

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.

This was the highlight of our Las Vegas holiday. Everything went as planned, no hitches & even the weather was ideal. We took an early morning flight, and after being picked up at the time specified from our hotel we were taken to our helicopter. We met our knowledgeable pilot, learned so much from him. Fantastic trip!

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!

This truly was an unforgettable trip! We had the champagne picnic at sunset and would thoroughly recommend it. We enjoyed views of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam on the way out and sunset on our return. We had approximately 45 minutes in the canyon and enjoyed a picnic and a glass of champagne whilst taking in the magnificent views.

If you like nature then this tour is for you. You get to see the Canyon with the best seat and all of this with a glass of bubbly. When on a date and the picnic and champagne stop at the canyon is so romantic. My date loved it!!!

Apart from the obvious breath taking Grand Canyon. The thing that makes this tour great is the attention to detail, from pick up at our hotel in the stretch limo with friendly driver the professional and attentive pilot and the excellent breakfast in the canyon. Not a cheap tour, but well worth it.

The tour was very organized. We were picked up at our hotel in a limousine. Taken to Papillon headquarters, explained all safety procedures. After that, prepare for an awesome experience were you can see Hoover Dam, all Las Vegas Strip, surroundings, Lake Mead, Virgin River, Colorado River, and the best attraction, Grand Canyon. 100% recommended

Booked this for my fiancé' birthday. Was absolutely brilliant! Everything was well organised from the limo picking us up to checking in and getting us on the helicopter. Our pilot Fred was brilliant very jokey and informative. We were in one of the newer helicopters which was comfortable with big windows so could see no matter where you sat. Had a lovely champagne breakfast when we landed in the cannon. The only negative I have is you have to pay an extra 50 per person when you check in. Think with the amount you pay for the trip anyway this wasn't necessary. But I would strongly reccomend doing this, the views of the strip and cannon are unbelievable. Both of us absolutely loved this trip.

This adventure was AWESOME. I retired 6 years ago, and seeing the Grand Canyon was on my bucket list. This is my far the best way to view the Grand Canyon and I really can tell you how great is was. This is my fourth helicopter tour and it was second to none. Our pilot was excellent and very friendly and informative. If you are thinking about doing it-do it, you will not be disappointed.

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 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.

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.

Good evening ! Please remove a doubt from me: I booked for myself and my friend for a year from now, April 20, 2026....but I received two satisfaction surveys for April 20...2025. 5 days ago. Is there an error on your part? or mine within the date indicated during my purchase? And if so, is it possible to arrange this?... I hope I haven't wasted your time :( Thank you in advance, I remain available of course. Very good night to you!

One of the wonderful things about the Grand Canyon is that it can be visited any day of the year. Each season presents the canyon in its own unique way.

  • Spring & fall: March to May and September to November are the best time to visit the Grand Canyon. Temperatures are pleasant between 60 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit, precipitation is light and the crowds are manageable. Another reason to head over during Spring is to catch the wildflower season.
  • Summer: The park’s peak season is summer, making it the most crowded time to visit especially at the South Rim. From mid-May to mid-September, you can expect long, sunny days with temperatures hovering anywhere between 40 and 85 degrees. 
  • Winter: December, January, and February are perhaps the most underrated months to visit the canyon. Sure, you’ll need to bundle up a little, but the Grand Canyon covered in snow is an absolutely beautiful sight. You can expect daytime temperatures to float in the 40s; it’s only at night when temperatures fall to freezing.

Refer to this sun chart for Grand Canyon sunrise and sunset times.

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 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 .
