What an amazing experience! The helicopter ride was only a 7 min long but the view of the Grand Canyon was spectacular. we landed at the bottom of the canyon, took some stairs to take the boat tour on the Colorado river which was great! We had about twenty mins on the water and returned back. Highly recommend the tour.

The company cancelled our tour less than 24 hours before departure. They refused to give us a specific reason for the cancellation or even try to offer us another slot that day. Reading prior reviews, this has happened many times before. Don't gamble with this tour operator...

Our family did the Grand Canyon West Tour with Canyon Landing and Boat Tour. It was amazing and we had the helicopter to ourselves. The pilot was fantastic making sure we had great views on our way up and down. He even did a semi-dramatic landing that thrilled my husband and 15 year old. We all felt very safe and entertained. The boat ride was extremely peaceful and relaxing. It offers a completely different perspective of the Grand Canyon. It is expensive but highly worth it. We have done helicopter tours before and this was one of the highlights of our trip.

Flew in dropped us at the boat. Boat went less than a mile then flew us back out.never got a meal. Didn't feel like much of a "tour" and was in the helicopter between 5 and 10 minutes total. For the money I would pass.

So I booked a helicoptor ride, for 299 dollars. Here is my experience. I walked up to the counter. Told them I had a reservation at 3. They looked at me and said we have no reservations at 3. So I gave them my confirmation number. They find my manifest. The guy hands us a paper and walks away. Tells us nothing. then the other guy says, come back, we need to weigh you. He then directs us to sit for the safety video. Well, it wasn't playing and there were no instructions on how to watch it. Next thing we know we were being directed to the helicoptor. So, no safety video. I will say I felt they were careful to make sure we were buckled in properly and gave us good instructions with getting in and out of the helicoptor safely. The pilots were nice, both of them. The flight was incredible. We were dropped off. No one telling us what was next. We were very confused. A man led us to a boat, then looked at our paper and said, oh, you don't have a boat ride. So we say ok, what do we do then? He says go over there for the helicoptor to pick you up. Now? we thought. We just got here. Well, no not now because there were TONS of people under a structure, waiting to be picked up them selves. It was absolutely sweltering down there. There were jugs of warm gross water. We took a few pictures, can only take so many of the same view. Then we sat down and waited. and waited. We were the last to be dropped off so you guessed it, the last to be picked up. Total time of sitting in the sweltering canyon was about 8 helicoptors and 1 hour, 45 minutes. All for a beautiful 7 min helicoptor ride and a few pics. Once we were the last guests waiting to be picked up, we were left with the staff, who began telling crude jokes and reciting crude lines from the movie Space Balls. It was rather uncomfortable and by that time we were over all of this. Finally, we get our flight with some of the crew. Again, another beautiful flight, where my cousin was able to chat with the pilot with a head set and he gave her a few quick facts. I did not. Plane lands, we are safely guided away. We leave. All this to say our experience, besides the beautiful helicoptor ride and the photos, was a disaster. The staff in the airport were very disorganized. Even as we waited for a video we would never see, we could hear them sounding very confused, can't find this, what about that. Not super reassuring. The pilots were great. The staff in the canyon were rude and dismissive. Crude at times. Very unprofessional. I will say towards the end an Indian employee scolded the 2 guys with bright vests on for not offering us cold water, which he then did. That was kind. I definitely would not book with this company again. I would not recommend this company. I feel like the discription of the excursion I paid for was very misrepresented with what I ended up receiving.

My AirBnB host encouraged me to drive to the west rim of the Grand Canyon, as it wasn’t too far. He was right, and you have the flexibility of stopping anywhere you want as well of course (Hoover Dam, Dolan Springs). Anyway, we used the money we would have spent on a bus tour, added to it, and got this helicopter trip to the canyon floor, boat trip on the Colorado river when down there, then SkyWalk experience at the top again. Going over the edge of the Grand Canyon is something I wish everyone could experience. It was just the four of us in the helicopter and in the boat, and it felt very special. Papillon were wonderful. Advice beforehand, confirmation the day before, driving directions, very professional AND friendly staff. This was a trip neither I nor the rest of my family will ever forget.

Helicopter ride was great. Waited over an hour before boarding! Lost out on the Skywalk due to bad weather as a result of waiting. Would book with a different company next time.

The helicopter ride was great, pilot does a great job giving you plenty of opportunities for photos on the way down. Boat ride is short, but driver was informative. The line for the bus ride to the center with Skywalk was miserably long. Have something to drink and a snack ready for the wait.

Spectacular! This tour definitely exceeded my expectations......it was very well done and couldn't have been any better. It was very organized and the guides were local, and extremely knowledgeable. Simply breathtaking and worth every penny! We hiked so much in Sedona that this was a great way to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
