This Grand Canyon experience begins with a Las Vegas hotel pickup en route to Henderson Executive Airport just south of the city. 

After boarding your helicopter, the scenic flight passes over sites like Hoover Dam, a modern marvel of engineering; the aqua waters and sandstone shorelines of Lake Mead and Fortification Hill, an extinct volcano before soaring along the winding path of the mighty Colorado River, into the incredible landscape of the Grand Canyon, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Upon landing at the Grand Canyon’s West Rim, enjoy hours exploring the various overlooks and highlights in the area. Visit Eagle Point, home of the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass walkway nearly 4,000 feet above the floor of the canyon. Upgrade for a ticket to experience the breathtaking view from this unique vantage point.

Then at Guano Point, see the Grand Canyon up close from the top of an old Guano Mine. Hike the side trail to the mine or go up and over the rocky hill to see the incredible view from what feels like the top of the world.

On the return trip, enjoy more of the sights and sounds from the sky before a final hotel drop-off. 

There is a maximum capacity of seven people per helicopter, plus the pilot.

Please note: Per FAA regulations, all passengers 18 years of age and older must present a photo ID such as a driver's license or passport at the time of check-in.

This was the best experience to see the Grand Canyon for the first time. We had excellent conditions for flying and out pilot, Travis, was awesome. I highly recommend taking the tour. We chose to not go out on the glass walkway because they don't allow pictures to be taken. But the overall experience was totally worth the money.

We were anticipating a tour to the basin and the "optional" skywalk. The other couples on our flight were also. Ended up paying an add'l $370 on top of $525/ea to get what we wanted. Viator charges almost $100 more than direct with Maverick. Ripoff. The tour was great. Viator, nope!
