I enjoyed the beautiful sights but eat before you go or bring you a snack. The food at Eagles point was expensive and it wasn't much food for the price and it didn't taste that good. The Skywalk was an ok experience but I wish I could have taken my own photos. My pictures that they took sucked I only got one for $27 or the package for $55. My photos looked dark to the bottom and brighter up top. Definitely not worth the price but then again it's a tourist attraction.The sight seeing was definitely worth it! Stay hydrated
The hop on and off bus to the look out points.
O has problema to her the tikets before dawn the app, but after was solved.
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!

We missed our shuttle the first time around and were able to reschedule without any issues. (So be sure to call in and check to get the exact time you will be picked up from the hotel.) All the staff were very friendly and our pilot David was very entertaining. The plane-tour itself was awesome with incredible views. We would definitely recommend it! :)
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.
Very well organised at Boulder airport - lots of interesting info whilst on board Communication from Head out was a little confusing as pick up point and time was changed but only the person making booking was informed not person going on flight
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!
This is a great way to see the canyon we did the helicopter ride over the hoover damn and grand canyon and got a free upgrade wirh a picnic! Do not try and buy or get sucked in from the people on the streets or in the shops do your research these guys are the best and best priced all taxes included and transport too and from your airport Bruce our pilot was fantastic great fun knowledgable and great to my sis who wasn't great at flying! Highly recommended
Got to see the Hoover Dam and the Strip from the air. BEST TRIP EVERRR! Their service is prompt and professional, no complaints about this whatsoever.
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!
Highly recommend the helicopter tour, got up early and did the 7am one!! Well worth it and wasn't hot at all. IT WAS AWESOMEEE.
This is the best option to see the grand canyon and las vegas strip, the guide was polite and helped us out with everthing. Their service was 100% first class.
Booked this trip for my 30th birthday, had a great time with our pilot who was immensely skilled, professional and courteous. Looking down at the grand canyon sights below was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday.
Totally worth every penny spent!!! We were picked up from our hotels and taken to the terminal . we were given safety reminders and boarded the helicopter. The views were surreal
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.
This came as a gift from my wife and was perhaps one of the best evenings of my life. Thank you Headout for the hassle-free process.
When you're flying past the Canyon, all you're going to do is marvel at the beauty of the place. There's literally nothing else we could think of apart from that!

Great trip - Matt the pilot was a great host - thanks very much 👍
It was awesome!! special thanks to our pilot gerald who made this experience unforgettable
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!
Great company with awesome staff. Very professional with great communication. The pilot was very informative and we all felt safe with him.
It was the best part of our trip to Vegas. Mark,our pilot was an excellent guide and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend as a must do.
The pilot and the rest of the people. We all had a great time.
The helicopter ride was amazing. The thrill of the ride and the beautiful views. It was a great experience.

No one came to pick us up, the phone support hung up on me, we haven't gotten a refund yet. I will never book anything through this company again. You guys suck.

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!!!
Amazing views, excellent tour, fabulous guide and delicious champagne picnic. Well worth the money. We will do this tour again, next time it will be at sunset
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
Brilliant trip from start to finish, the organization was first class. Erica our pilot was amazing and the Grand Canyon....enough said. Recommended for anyone visiting Las Vegas.
The tour was fantastic from start to finish.. Collected at hotel perfectly on time and returned with no hassle.. The spin in helicopter was awesome to the Grand Canyon floor and a picnic on arrival couldn't ask for better. The views were astonishing. All in all a great trip.
The guide was really good ( Thomas ) i guess this was his name. The pick up arrangements. The help and contact flexibility. The place really amazing and the price is worth
When we whent out with our pilot and we lift of, already it was awasome the rules were clear and he said y hope you and y will have somes good times.? The time we share together, the view was memorable ,the montain ,the colorado river, the history and not the last this is the 15 thing to see in the world it is patrimonial diamond, Now it on my check list. Y recommended you must to it in your life time❤️ Sylvie and Pierre, thanks.
I experienced some difficulties with my booking. My first reservation, although appearing available, was not available from the service provider. We had to reschedule. Also, I wish the options, including departure airfield, had been a little better indicated in the pre-booking menu.
Absolutely spectacular scenery! Would recommend everyone do the tour SItting in the Grand Canyon eating breakfast was so surreal, it really is a once in a lifetime experience.
Had a fantastic tour , Patrick our pilot was great , very informative and just a really nice man . Views are breathtaking, weather was fantastic highly recommend this company and this tour .
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.
Even for a family of five we could fit this tour in our budget, having picked it up from here. No hassles, ultra convenient, simple and quick to book.
The next time you think you cant afford a tour book from here. It is not just cheap but also very easy and quick to get a confirmation.
Amazing trip, i think i can term it as a trip of a lifetime. The Canyon at dusk was jaw dropping, definately recommend it.
