Du vil forlate Tusayan, Arizona ligger i den sørlige kanten av Grand Canyon på den sikreste og mest komfortable turisme basert helikopter i verden. På din 45-minutters helikopterflyvning kan du nyte den luksuriøse komforten og de innpakkede vinduene som tilbyr en fantastisk utsikt over Canyon.

Nyt den fantastiske utsikten over Canyon mens du flyr over den 1,6 millioner hektar store Kaibab nasjonalskogen, som grenser til både den nordlige og sørlige kanten av Grand Canyon. Kaibab nasjonalskogen er hjemmet til verdens største ponderosa piner.
Når du når kanten av kanjonen, faller South Rim forsiktig bort som North Rim og østenden av kanjonen kommer i sikte - dette er definitivt en av de største utsiktene av Grand Canyon.
Du vil fortsette reisen mens du følger Colorado River oppstrøms og ser på en avstand av den 146 kvadratkilometer malte ørkenen og 70 fot (21 meter) Desert View Watchtower, et nasjonalt historisk landemerke.
Desert View Watchtower har et observasjonsdekk hvorfra besøkende til nasjonalparken kan se østlige deler av Grand Canyon.
Deretter ser du Marble Canyon, delen av Colorado River som markerer begynnelsen av Grand Canyon, og Point Imperial, det høyeste punktet på North Rim på 8 803 fot (2,683 meter). Point Imperial har utsikt over den malte ørkenen og den østlige enden av Grand Canyon. Du vil fly gjennom Canyon over North Rim, sørover gjennom Dragon Corridor, den bredeste og dypeste delen av Canyon.
På slutten av helikopterflyget vil du krysse over Colorado River og fly over South Rim og Kaibab National Forest å lande.

Vennligst merk: Per FAA regelverk vil alle passasjerer 18 år og eldre bli pålagt å vise bilde ID, for eksempel førerkort eller pass ved innsjekking.

We pre-booked, online, an early morning “Canyon Spirit” flight from the Grand Canyon Airport. We stayed overnight nearby in Tusayan and arrived at the airport at about 07:15 am for our “weigh in” and allocation to our helicopter and pilot. Our pilot Ben gave us a flight safety briefing before allocating us to our seats and, as there were only five people on our flight, we were all lucky to have window seats! We took off at about 07:50 am and flew over the Kaibab National Forest for about seven minutes before the ground dropped away and we flew off the edge above the Grand Canyon. The views were stunning and the Grand Canyon was so vast it now felt that the helicopter was hovering! We flew over to the Eastern Side, along the North Rim then back to the Bright Angel/South Rim before returning to the airport about one hour later. We had an excellent flight with a very interesting, knowledgeable and amusing commentary, from our pilot Ben, throughout our flight. We were very lucky to have excellent conditions with a bright blue sky, no wind, lots of sun and a very steady flight with no turbulence. On arrival back we had time for a photo opportunity posing with Ben in front of our helicopter. It was quite an expensive trip but it was worth it to be flown safely, on this once in a lifetime opportunity, by such a professional and efficient organisation. Highly Recommended!

We decided on the Maverick Helicopter Tour as it seemed that they had newer equipment than the other tour companies in the area. You meet at the Tusayan Airport which is outside of the Grand Canyon National Park (It is just outside of Tusayan). They have a large parking lot and guest services building with a gift shop, vending machines and restrooms. Check-in is fast and easy. They do take your weight (no lying about your weight, as you actually stand on a scale) which they use to assign your seating on the helicopter to balance the weight. You can request a front seat but they cannot guarantee specific seating but will give you preference if you ask in advance. Once everyone is checked in the pilot will call out your name and give you a seat assignment. You are provided with a life preserver that you wear around your waist and are assisted in getting in the helicopter. Once in, you put on your headphones and get a quick safety check. (you should wear dark clothing without prints so that you don't get a reflection off the inside of the glass when you take photos). The flight is about 45 minutes and there are no restrooms on the helicopter and no stops until you get back to the airport (as my Mother always told me, go now or forever hold your pees). The seats are very comfortable (seating for 7 including the pilot) and the helicopter is surprisingly quiet from others I have flown in. The weather was clear and the flight very calm and smooth. Once everyone is secure the pilot takes off and introduces himself and finds out a little bit about you. You initially fly over the pine forests and listen to a play list and commentary through your headphones. Then you fly out over the Canyon itself. The view is spectacular as the trees and land immediately end and fall away from view and you are now hovering 4,000 feet above the Canyon Floor! The pilot forewarned us just before we cleared the trees and got our first panoramic view of the Canyon but it is still breathtaking! The pilot describes the various areas of the Canyon and sights and flies along both the South and North Rims as well as along the Colorado River. You can ask questions through your headsets and the pilot is more than happy to respond and elaborate on his narration. Although we viewed the Canyon from the South Rim, the Rim Trails, the Bright Angel Trail and the West Rim, this is a unique "not to miss" way to see the Canyon if your budget allows. After about 45 minutes we landed back at the airport and they took pictures of us by the helicopter (with or without the pilot) and using their camera and ours. Although not required or requested, we did give a small gratuity to the pilot which I'm sure he appreciated. When we got back into the gift shop they had photos on the wall that you could purchase as well as a dvd of your specific flight made during the actual flight. Unfortunately the camera on our helicopter malfunctioned on our flight so we couldn't purchase the dvd of our flight but because we had asked to buy the dvd they gave us a complimentary copy of their generic dvd of the helicopter flight (very considerate and professional). The price for the helicopter flight was about $300 per person for about 45 minutes but was well worth it. If you want to get a different perspective of the Grand Canyon, this is definitely not a tour to miss! I would highly recommend both the helicopter flight and Maverick Helicopters as the tour provider.

My husband and I, along with two other unrelated couples, had an excellent Grand Canyon Maverick Helicopters tour on Thanksgiving Day at noon, leaving from the Tusayan airport near the south rim. Our copter held 7 guests, so we had one extra space, which was nice. The seating arrangement is done by weight, so you may not get your optimum seat. (I would have picked next to the pilot looking ahead, but got a side window in the back row, which was fine. We didn't land again until the end, so no opportunity to change seats.) Our pilot, B.J., was calm, experienced, and personable. During the flight, he told us just the right amount of factoids about the canyon and the surrounding park while an apropos soft rock soundtrack, curated by B.J., played through our headphones, changing for each phase of the flight. The gray leather seats were comfortable (although not rotating) and there were excellent views available, both near and far as we flew in different directions over the sunny south rim and the snowy north rim and (mostly) in between them, looking down at the cliffs and Colorado River far below us. The 30+-minute canyon tour was a good length for appreciating the scope and grandeur of the canyon, although I could have spent all day out there gliding over those views! The take-off and landing couldn't have been smoother, and the spacious Maverick waiting room (with fireplace & restrooms) and gift-store are top notch. They took photos of us at the beginning and end standing by the copter, and then as we were leaving offered us an official photo and DVD to commemorate our flight. A memorable Thanksgiving Day, that's for sure! (One photo tip: Wear black if you don't want to see yourself reflected in the windows as you shoot your photos.)

Great views. It is better to see the Grand Canyon from a helicopter than from the different viewpoints on ground. Pilot had an exceptional knowledge. Good Service.
