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.

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.

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 .
