About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Roving181827185470 contributionsAmazing rideWe checked the reviews before booking with Maverick and were not disappointed. Pick up from the hotel was on time and easy. There was a small wait before the flight once we got there but in comfortable surroundings with friendly staff. Once stood by the helicopter we had a short safety briefing from out pilot (Tanner) and a photo in front of the helicopter (reasonable price to purchase post flight at $30 for a photo and the digital photo too). The fight was amazing and the landing in the Grand Canyon for 30minutes (including refreshments) was a great opportunity for stretching legs and some amazing photos. Be ready for taking photos of the Hoover Dam on the flight out as the flight back takes a different route. The flight back stopped to refuel which gave a 5 minute chance to get off and get a photo with a Joshua tree. We can’t recommend this trip enough although I wonder what it would be like in high summer heat, especially the stop in the canyon itself. Tanner was a great pilot and obviously experienced and knowledgeable. All in all you must do this if your first / only trip to Vegas.Written 18 February 2025

- patalm0 contributionsCheck off on the bucket listThe experience was wonderful, with the tour company very good with communication. We were a group of 4, so 2 additional people were added tot he helicopter, which was fine. Helicopter was clean, the pilot was good at giving us clear directions on what he wanted, and once seated, off we flew. Our pilot, Jason pointed out the local landmarks, unfortunately the headsets didn’t always pick up what he was saying. The scenery was beautiful, and we took many pictures.Written 2 February 2025

The booking, confirmations, transport, facilities, aircraft and of course their Wind Dancer tour we took to the Grand Canyon was OUTSTANDING. Our professional pilot and guide, Jordan, was exceptional. This experience was the highlight of our Vegas trip and we highly recommend Maverick!Written 1 February 2025
- Russlynn0 contributionsBucket list trip not to be missedDavid, our pilot was excellent. His playlist for the headset music made the trip even more memorable. David took his time as we flew over the strip, Lake Mead, and Hoover Dam, so we were able to get amazing overhead pictures. Smooth landing in the Grand Canyon for a champagne toast, where we chatted with David. He was interesting to talk to as well as helpful in taking numerous pictures of us with both the canyon and helicopter in the background. The views looking up at the canyon walls were breath taking. It was an amazing adventure.Written 30 January 2025

- TrailBlazer1857030 contributionsGood excursion, but pricey for actual experience time.This was a Good excursion. One that my wife and I wanted to do for many years . Everything about the trip experience was positive. The staff for professionalism, and the helicopter pilot was exceptional. He rotated passengers so everyone had a chance to be in the front seats if they wanted to be . There are only two drawbacks to this experience. Foremost, it is very expensive ($1.385.46 for 2, which looks like an average rate on the charts) for the actual duration of the Excursion time. What they do not tell you in the literature is that there are extra hours built in to the total length of time advertised (4-hrs) for picking all passengers up at hotels, waiting for your flight to leave and returning to your hotel after the excursion is over. Bottom line is as I said in the beginning, this was a very good excursion if you have the money. I have flown many times in helicopters for sightseeing and to sporting Events and this is on the expensive side in the sightseeing category.Written 25 January 2025

Absolutely the most amazing experience with Maverick Helicopters. My fiancé and I contacted Maverick Helicopters about a wedding package out of Las Vegas. We were promptly responded to by Marie who is the wedding consultant. Marie handled everything and provided us with so much information. She answered our never ending questions and was so patient with us during our planning process. We had several unique requests and Marie was able to accommodate all of them. We ended up taking two helicopters from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon for a sunset ceremony and it was nothing short of Magical. From the limo pickup at our hotel our driver John made us not only feel like VIP’s but also family. Once we arrived at Mavericks terminal we were immediately checked in and escorted to a VIP waiting room with couches, a view of our helicopters, and beverages. Here, Marie went above and beyond to accommodate one of our special requests and we cannot thank her enough for making our wedding so special. Once the paperwork was complete we met our pilot David. There are no words to explain how truly incredible he was. He made our whole experience so much more memorable and enjoyable. A skilled and professional pilot but also a knowledgeable tour guide, he escorted our family in and out of the helicopter, helped with our gear, and even poured us our celebratory glass of champagne.
The flights to and from the Grand Canyon were unforgettable, and our photographer, Julie, provided by Maverick, captured every moment beautifully, both posed and spontaneous. Our wedding album is a testament to her talent.
If you are considering an adventurous, exciting, memorable, wedding experience you should definitely call Maverick Helicopters. We WILL be back for an anniversary flight

The views and the actual experience of the ride to the canyon is epic, there is no doubting that. Maverick aren’t the cheapest company to do this with, but they do keep the fleet of helicopters very well. The best experience is gained from the front seats (there are three for customers) and I would recommend you grab this seat for the first leg of the trip into the canyon as you will get the best experience out of the three legs of the trip. We didn’t get the front seats for the first leg but the pilot confirmed it was the best view and experience from the front. Our pilot - Jordan, was great. Lots of insight into the history of the areas we flew over too. He was friendly and happy to chat with us and answer any questions.
The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is twofold;
1. They refused to pick us up from the rental villa which was within six mile radius of them as it ‘wasn’t a hotel’.
2. They advertise ‘Champagne’ will be available on the stop over in the canyon. They don’t provide Champagne - it’s sparking wine. There’s a very big difference!! Don’t advertise one thing and deliver another!

We felt this was the ‘must do’ when we booked our trip to Las Vegas and we were not wrong.
Booking details gave us clear information on the pick up from our hotel and this all worked as scheduled, with a friendly bus driver. Arriving at the Maverick complex at the airport we checked in and were allocated our helicopter number, there were I think 6/7 helicopters being used for the trip. Our pilot then introduced himself and then walked us out to the helicopter, explaining when he wanted us to sit and the safety information. Trip out to the Canyon took us over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and because the pilot circled round them a few times it didn’t matter what seat you had, you would always get a great view and be able to take photos etc. During the flight the pilot was informative and gave some of the history and details of the Dam and how/when it was built etc.
Approaching the Canyon we flew down it, getting clear views of the rocks and layout until we arrived at the landing pad approx half way down to the bottom. Here there were tables ready for use, to which the pilot then loaded with Fizz and some snacks for us to select from. As our group contained the 6/7 helicopters, it was an impressive sight to see them all together with the backdrop of the Canyon and river below. After a stay of approx 20 mins we were back onboard for the flight back, which included a stop-off for a refuelling at a fuel depot in the desert which just added to the whole trip.
Icing on the cake was that by the time we got back to Las Vegas the light had started to fade, so flying down The Strip with all the lights shining brightly really topped off things off for the trip.
Absolutely recommend this trip to anyone, yes perhaps a little more expensive than the coach trips but well worth the money. Only way to do it in my view

This was a superb experience from start to finish. We contacted Maverick Helicopters on the number provided 24 hours prior to the booking, and the transfer pick up from the hotel was confirmed. Picked up on time and taken to the airfield for check in, and shortly after our pilot was introduced. We were flown by Jordan, and his friendliness, humour and professionalism shone through right away, what a gentleman!!! After a safety briefing we were settled into our seats and away we went, there were 4/5 other aircraft going at the same time. Jordan chatted us through the trip on the headset, giving us great info about the different sites and the history of the area. The journey to the Canyon landing site was around 45 minutes, once we were down there were refreshments provided including ice cold champagne if anybody wanted some. There was ample time for photos and again Jordan answered any questions and generally looked after us all. The trip back included a short stop for refuelling, this gave everyone the chance to swap seats for the best views. **on our trip there were 7 of us so the helicopter was full, it’s really good that we all switched seats to give a fair chance of sitting up front. Then back to Vegas at sunset for stunning views of the strip as it lights up for the night. After landing there’s a chance to buy photos but it’s not pushed on anyone, it’s a really laid back and smooth operation. Everyone gets a return transfer back to their hotels, we were back on the strip at around 9pm. All in all this was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had, thanks to Maverick Helicopters and especially our pilot Jordan for making our holiday unforgettable!! 100% recommend this, you won’t regret it.

This is the best way to view the Grand Canyon if you can afford it! My wife wanted to take a Bus Tour, they pick you up at 6AM and back at 5:00PM, 11 hours on a Bus! No Way!!! My wife is subject to motion sickness, she took her pills and no problem whatsoever! We had "Little David" as our Pilot. Very friendly and I highly recommend him! There are 7 passengers. hey rotated so everyone had a chance to sit in the front. I enjoyed the trip more than my wife and 13 year old son. Again, this is the way to go if you can afford it.

Loved it! Really recommend this company if you are looking for a helicopter trip. We did the sunset to Grand Canyon.
Pick up and drop off all very smooth and the pilots were friendly with great sense of humour. We were lucky that the passenger group was similar weights and able to rotate around for everyone to have a chance at a window seat but this is of course never guaranteed for a helicopter.
I would say that the Vegas strip part of the tour was pretty quick and really not what I expected. I have a suspicion they aren't actually allowed to fly over the strip so you sort of go around it and the views aren't amazing. But otherwise really enjoyed it and thoroughly recommend. It's so worth the money!!!

We appreciate your 5-star review and recommendation. The flight route that we and all other carriers take over the Las Vegas Strip is strictly regulated due to the proximity of the Strip to Harry Reid International Airport and the volume of air traffic it receives, as well as helicopter traffic. Thanks so much for flying with Maverick Helicopters!

Booked directly with Maverick Helicopters on line and the process was so easy a simple. Confirmation received within 15 mins.
Simple easy to follow instructions for pick up and upon arrival the process was really well organised.
Our pilot Josh was superb. Telling us points of interest as we headed to the foot of the canyon but also recognising when to just let us take in the breathtaking views. (Good playlist as well! ) Amazing views of the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon. Landing in the Grand Canyon was sensational. The backdrop of the sun on the canyon and Colorado river were amazing.
Flight back in the sunset was equally as amazing especially flying down the strip with all of the lights easily visible. Was just simply wow! The best trip and experience I think we have ever been on and is a real must if you’re heading to Las Vegas!

Firstly a big thank you to our Pilot Jordan he really helped to make our trip to be amazing experience for the 5 of us.
Maverick picked us up at our hotel in the Maverick tour bus, then drove to the airport reception at the heliport. The whole experience was professional throughout, our pilot Jordan was fantastic, informative and played some great tunes throughout the flight. We flew over the strip, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, landed in the Grand Canyon. We had champagne and snacks and on the flight back we landed for a quick refuel and flew back over the strip.
Our youngest son said it was the best thing he’s ever done in his whole life ☺️
We would highly recommend Maverick and Jordan it was definitely worth the price.

We took the Wind Dancer sunset tour as we wanted to see the Grand Canyon with the added bonus of seeing the strip lit up on the return trip - we were not disappointed.
There were 3 couples plus the pilot and we got to take it in turn sat up front.
Our pilot was Tanner who was friendly and provided an informative commentary as well as a very fitting classic rock soundtrack to the trip.
We felt very safe and really enjoyed our experience.
Thankyou to Tanner and Maverick Helicopters for an amazing and unforgettable trip.

Hi, a couple of questions if anyone can help!. What is the seating like in the helicopter? Is it very cramped, what is the seat configuration and how many passengers are there, not including the pilot? There are mixed reviews, some saying if you're sitting in the middle then you can't really see much which surely nobody would be happy about.
Thank you!!

Do we get our money back if the launch is not possible due to weather conditions?

Because the helicopter is a commercial flight, the FAA has a mask mandate which applies to all aircraft. There was signage and a briefing which instructed us to wear a mask at all times in the airport and in the aircraft. However enforcement of said mandate was minimal ;)
