Maverick Helicopter Tours

Maverick Helicopter Tours offer one of the most comfortable ways to get a bird’s-eye view of the Grand Canyon. Their ECO-Star helicopters are designed with theater-like seating so that everyone has a great view through the wrap-around window. Depending on time and budget, you can enjoy a quick zip over the canyon, or make a day of it by departing from Las Vegas for a tour that includes a landing and hiking, sightseeing, or even river rafting.

Hotel pick-up and drop-off service are highlights and Maverick seems to offer a comfortable and punctual ride. There are opportunities for souvenir photos and DVDs of your flight that you can purchase afterward, but most customers felt that there was no pressure to buy. The only complaints seem to be from people who had a hard time with motion sickness or miscommunication with their hotel concierge, so contact Maverick directly with any questions to be sure you know what to expect.
