5.00What a tour this wasโฆflew over Hoover Dam and into the Canyon to a beautiful landing spot and having other helicopters in the group land close by and having wine and snacks on a park bench! Even with other company helicopters nearby they are still separated from each other.

5.00Sunset tour Grand Canyon Awesome trip, well worth the money. Plenty of time for night life after the trip. Is a little cramped if you are over six feet and 200lbs, but not bad, bigger than that might be a little squeezed, but flight are not that long with the landings.

5.00What an experience, the views were unbelievable. Cody was our pilot and he pointed out all the important spots to see, even the Joshua trees at refuelling. The sunset was beautiful and coming in over Vegas with all the lights we will never forget. Thank you Cody for the trip of a lifetime.

5.00We did the Wind Dancer Sunset tour for our last night in Nevada. It was absolutely spectacular!! We flew over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, the Mojave Desert, and then landed on a plateau within the Grand Canyon! Champagne and snacks were so fun. It was a once in a lifetime experience. And our pilot was friendly and professional. The helicopters were comfortable and the window views were perfect. Flying back to Vegas as the sun set was perfection. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Pilot and staff were top...

5.00The Maverick Sunset Tour is fabulous. If you are in Vegas and interested in Grand Canyon and flight over the city you have to take this tour. It was wonderful! Our guide was fantastic and full of knowledge, we stopped at a wonderful spot to explore and have snacks at a picnic table in the canyon. You have to take this tour - - it's a great experience.
