In Short – With three landing sites at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and exclusive rights to fly on the canyon's east and south rims, this helicopter company gives adventure-seekers a real treat. More than 10 different tour packages are offered, including the Grand Celebration!, which features a 4,000-foot descent into the canyon, a touch-down on the banks of the Colorado River for a picnic, and a flight over the Strip.

What a GREAT Experience!
by WVU95Grad at Citysearch
We were picked up at our hotel and driven to the airport. We flew over the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and numerous landmarks along the way to the Grand Canyon. Once at the canyon, we made our descent, landing near the Colorado River, and had a champagne lunch in the Grand Canyon.
The staff was very friendly. Our pilot, "Mike", was knowledgable and took great care of us. It was a terrific experience and anyone who has the opportunity should take this trip.
The one drawback is that you are only on the ground in the Grand Canyon for half an hour. I could have spent more time enjoying the scenery. Next time I will probably try the combination helicopter/boat tour!
- Pros: Friendly staff, good communication, easy and affordable!
- Cons: Not enough time in the canyon.

More bus than helicopter
by ldove at Citysearch
The helicopter ride was fun and definitely an excellent way to see the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc. I don't know anything about helicopters, but the EcoStar seems really cool, especially because there's so much visibillity - almost no matter where you're sitting. But the bus ride to the heliport was really long. It took well over an hour to get there and about an hour and twenty minutes to get back, even though we were staying right on the Vegas strip (Circus Circus). We spent more time in buses than in the helicopter - more like twice as long, in fact. So, if you like helicopters and love buses, this would be great trip to take.
- Pros: Great equipment, pleasant, informed pilot
- Cons: Long bus ride, drivers and staff rather rude and unhelpful

GC Deluxe with Helicopter tour - Worth Every Penny
by jlw4au at Citysearch
We took the tour from Las Vegas. All transfers were on time. The only wait we had was from the Boulder City airport to the hotel at the end of the day but we were still back at the hotel close to the time promised. If you are booking dinner or a show for afterwards don't book anything before 7:00 p.m. Traffic and the numerous hotel stops could delay your return to the hotel.
The tour was worth every penny. If you have never seen the Grand Canyon don't settle for the West Rim...it doesn't do it justice. This tour takes you to the north and south rims. The sites are jaw-dropping. The flights were wonderful. The tour guides went above and beyond the call of duty and we even saw the almost extinct California Condors.
Be sure to bring a jacket unless you are going at the peak of summer. On May 2nd the high temp at the south rim that day was 60 degrees. The low was 20. It was pleasant in the sun but when the wind whipped up the wind chill was in the 40's.
