Your guide for a hassle-free boarding experience

  • Arrive early: Aim to reach the heliport at least 30-45 minutes before your scheduled departure. This allows ample time for check-in, security screening, the mandatory safety briefing, and any necessary paperwork.
  • Bring valid identification: Have your government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport ready. You will need to show it before boarding the helicopter.
  • Travel light: Most helicopter tours have strict weight and baggage restrictions. Pack light and ensure that you carry only essentials like a phone, wallet, and camera. Large bags are not permitted on the helicopter, so consider using a small backpack or a fanny pack. 
  • Follow safety instructions: Pay close attention to the safety briefing and follow any safety protocols outlined by the crew.
  • Board calmly and respectfully: Wait for your turn to board the helicopter and follow the ground crew's instructions for a smooth departure. Avoid rushing, and do the same while deboarding after your flight.
  • Keep your camera handy: Make sure your phone or camera is easily accessible for capturing memorable pictures, but ensure it is securely held to prevent accidents.

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!

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.

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.
