Unbelievable views, flying low through the Grand Canyon, and nice landing area. Pilot had us switch seats after landing in the Grand Canyon and again after refueling so everyone got a chance to sit in the front.

Oliver our Pilot was wonderful. We had a great time! It is expensive to do the trip, however, well worth it! The Grand Canyon is a place like no other! We also stopped for a short time to refuel and got to explore the desert which was also cool. I probably wouldn’t do it again as I have done it now, but it’s definitely something everyone should get to experience!

The most memorable part was coming up over the edge of the rim and banking down inside the canyon. Then landing and getting out of helicopter and taking pictures while close to the edge with the canyon in the background. What a truly amazing experience.

Awesome Wind Dancer trip today. My partner and I loved it. From the moment we were collected from our hotel to the moment we returned.
Marcus drove us. Really nice guy, so friendly.
Adam was our pilot, entertainment, history teacher, wildlife expert, geologist and DJ. He went out of his way to have a connection with everyone on the helicopter.
His flying was awesome, especially through the Canyon. This will no doubt be the holiday highlight.

We did this for My wife’s birthday and we had a blast, from pick up to departures and the flight was excellent. Everything was immaculate.
Collection driver was funny, polite and a really nice guy.
Check in was OK. We are only just paying customers but they didn’t really care too much they had our money already.
The departure, and briefing was excellent.
Pilot was amazing, a really nice guy, knowledgable, funny and humorous and also a great Pilot.
The flight was excellent, the stop over in the canyon was fantastic with drinks and snacks.
We all got a chance to sit up front which was wonderful.
Overall, a fantastic time with Maverick tours, great people, polite mainly, immaculate facilities and a good shop on site.
Thanks to them all for a Great day.

The service was absolutely horrendous. They wouldn’t let and my friend get on the helicopter because they said I was “intoxicated.” When I asked if they could reschedule or give us a refund, they were extremely rude and unprofessional about it. Juan, the manager, was completely out of line and belligerent about me asking for a refund. I called the customer service number but they couldn’t provide us with a refund. This is unacceptable and they wouldn’t even let me stay there and have my friend, who was sober, go on the helicopter ride.

A definite bucket list adventure. Seeing the Hoover Dam, Vegas Strip, and Grand Canyon from 1500 feet up was amazing. Then to land 3000 feet deep in the canyon and explore for awhile, on top of all that, was icing on the cake. Very highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing views from landing zone at the Grand Canyon. Also, each passenger has the opportunity to sit in the front of the helicopter. Would highly recommend.
