Just do it!! Had an amazing flight over the GC and then an awesome raft trip down the Colorado River from Hoover Dam to Willow Beach.

Christopher_R

Absolutely amazing day, bucket list stuff! Staff amazing and very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend this joint trip, both parts completely complement each other ☺️

We LOVED every minute of this excursion! Pilot Mike was excellent and knowledgeable on the helicopter ride. Colorado float was so relaxing and fun. Captain Ron kept the tour going with his key points and was friendly to our needs along the way. Highly recommend this tour!

The views were amazing, the pilot was great. We had a combined helicopter tour followed by rafting with another company. The rafting was great as well. However, we were to get lunch, snacks and drinks. It was a 5:45 am pick up before restaurants are open for breakfast. There was a back and forth between the companies about who was transferring us and when and we didn’t get lunch until 4:30 pm. The second company provided snacks: cereal bars, crackers and gummies. We didn’t get an apology and we didn’t eat the lunch as it was too late and close to supper. We paid $1823.59 Canadian for two people. My advice is to make sure you have some food as the day was overshadowed because we were so hungry.

Breathtaking experience of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Colorado river. An early clear morning hotel pickup and straight to the airport for a flight out over the desert, over the Hoover Dam then on to the Grand Canyon. The flight went down into the canyon flying under the rim with spectacular views of the cliffs, gullies and formations. Ray, our pilot, was giving a great commentary of what we were seeing adding to the excellent experience. Going up the canyon, doing a full turn so we could see the light and shadows from different angles in the canyon adding to the spectacle. Then we were flying back out across Lake Mead seeing the spectacular scenery of the desert all around in the early morning sun and Las Vegas in the distance. The flight lasted about 90 minutes with a flight over/down The Strip before landing back at the airport. We were then taken by coach down to the Hoover Dam Lodge to pick up the rafting trip for the rest of the day. After a quick pitstop to use the facilities (the trip lasts about 3.5 hours before the next available toilet!) we were off to the base of the dam to board the raft. The raft is big has plenty of seating, a hard floor and an engine so this is a sit back, listen to the skipper (Matt in our case, 5*) for all the details of the trip and relax. The trip was about 14 miles starting at the base of the dam, with a stop on a beach to eat the lunch provided and another stop to get up close with a 'small' side canyon. Finishing at Willow Beach Marina (toilets here!). Another bus ride back to Vegas for a rest! All the staff and guides were amazing, courteous and friendly. Recommended!

Delighted we chose to do this. The whole day was amazing from start to finish from the hotel pick up to drop off. Everyone was so polite and great fun. The helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon was incredible and the view are out of this world. Delighted we spent extra to see it from the air instead of a coach trip. To fully appreciate the canyon it’s gotta be from the air and it’s gotta be 5 Star Helicopter Tours. The kayaking with Blazing Paddles was also incredible, our guide Melissa was outta this world, full of information and put everyone as ease. The views on the Colorado river are brilliant and the kayaking is easy and we were lucky we had a really fun group too. Then great food served on the trip back to Vegas and dropped to our hotel. This tour and these people rock.

The helicopter flight was crammed. I paid $1100 AUD and was expecting a helicopter with just 2 passengers but there were 6 of us crammed in like sardines. Great pilot, great experience but uncomfortable and being crammed in the middle of the chopper views were hard. I thought they would do more turns etc so everyone got a great view. Don’t get me wrong it was still amazing but a 7/10 at best and the emerald cave is simply a cut out in the rock, not what I would class as a cave. I believe at $600 AUD it would be value

Jane

Sarah was a great guide and very knowledgable, the raft was comfortable and spacious, the scenery stunning and to see the Hoover Dam so close was a memorable experience

John_S
