Less expensive tours on Grand Canyon helicopters are out there, but for folks who are looking for luxury I always recommend Maverick. The 5-star tours provided by Maverick are unmatched when it comes to safety, comfort, and service. It all boils down to paying a little more if you want the best. I think it's a fair trade-off. To put it simply, Maverick Helicopters has the best fleet of Grand Canyon helicopters.
Premium Helicopters: Maverick uses the luxury EcoStar 130 aircraft that is designed for sightseeing. Thanks to the stadium-style seats these choppers have, you'll get a great view. Plus, the cabin is extra roomy and the windshields wrap around the aircraft for the best scenic viewing. These choppers are quiet too, and thanks to their design, the ride is smooth and comfortable.
These choppers are quiet too, and thanks to their design, the ride is smooth and comfortable. You'll be able to see and talk with your pilot quite easily (by the way, Maverick's pilots are some of the best in the business). In the summer when the temperatures soar, you will appreciate the advance climate control provided by these choppers too.
Departure Cities: The Maverick choppers that go to the South Rim depart near the rim from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport, while the choppers that tour the West Rim take off from the Strip in Vegas. The tours out of Vegas have an added bonus of giving you an aerial view of the Strip, plus they are very convenient since the departure point is near the main resorts and hotels in Vegas.
Las Vegas Landing And Air-Only Tours: Maverick gives you a choice in tours from Vegas, they can be air-only, or you can land at the West Rim. However, you can only fly on a chopper to the West Rim from Vegas since the South Rim is 277 miles away and too far for a helicopter to make the round trip. The route from Vegas to the West Rim will have you flying over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River and the Canyon. Air-only flights head back "home" after showing you the West Rim's highlights.
When you take a landing tour, you can get out on the canyon floor or on the top of the rim. The most popular Maverick tours fly you down to the canyon floor. These tours include a fun Champagne picnic and about 30 minutes to explore the canyon and shore of the river. If you pick the tour that lands at the top, you'll have about 2 1/2 hours on the ground to explore. You'll have many sights to take in such as Eagle Point and Guano Point. One flight even comes with VIP access to the all-glass Grand Canyon Skywalk. It's a remarkable place that lets you stand 4,000 feet above the canyon bottom, 70 feet past the edge!
South Rim Chopper Tours: If you want to take a tour of the South Rim, but you're based in Vegas, you'll need to fly by plane to the South Rim first. This particular package includes a 2 1/2-hour bus tour inside the National Park. The Maverick helicopter tours of the South Rim depart every day from their terminal in Tusayan at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. A 30-minute version flies from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. You could also choose the longer, fifty-minute tour, which is better if you have the time. It does everything the shorter flight does, but it also flies all the way to the eastern border of the Park. This tour is so amazing because it lets you see 75 percent of the park from the air!
