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: All helicopters used by Maverick are EcoStar 130s, the model that's unquestionably the best for sightseeing. These choppers have stadium-style seats so no other passengers block your view. In addition, the cabin is 25 percent larger than traditional helicopters and the EcoStar 130 has a wraparound windshield for the best view.
Maverick hires the best pilots in the business and you can speak with your pilot easily during your flight. In the summer when the temperatures soar, you will appreciate the advance climate control provided by these choppers too. All things considered, the EcoStar 130 is the perfect aircraft for taking a Grand Canyon tour.
Departure Cities: All flights on Maverick helicopters take off from the Vegas Strip (West Rim tours) or a private terminal at the South Rim's Grand Canyon National Park Airport. The Strip flights are amazing besides being convenient (just a few minutes from virtually all the big hotels), on the leg home you get to fly over the Strip.
Las Vegas Landing And Air-Only Tours: You have two choices in tours when you fly out of Vegas, the landing tour and the air-only tour. Because the South Rim is 277 miles from Vegas (too far for any helicopter to make it there and back), all Vegas departures do the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. The flight to the canyon offers spectacular scenic views of the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the canyon itself. Air-only flights head back "home" after showing you the West Rim's highlights.
The air-only tours fly over the West Rim then circle back to Vegas. When you take a landing tour, you can get out on the canyon floor or on the top of the rim. The Maverick tours that land on the bottom of the canyon is very popular. These tours include a fun Champagne picnic and about 30 minutes to explore the canyon and shore of the river. The landing tours that drop you off on top of the rim allow 2 1/2 hours to see the sights before the return flight home. Guano Point and Eagle Point are two of the sights you won't want to miss. A fun upgrade you should consider is VIP access to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The Skywalk is amazing, it is a glass bridge that lets you walk out 70 feet past the edge of the canyon and stand 4000 feet above the bottom.
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!
