About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- E1487HIandyb0 contributionsFirst time helicopter rideGreat pilot and a great tour and landing in the Grand Canyon. Would recommend to anyone wanting a professional flight experience. Thanks again for a great timeWritten 20 March 2025
- 139gigis0 contributionsMaverick Helicopter/Las Vegas strip.Maverick Helicopter ride was fantastic. Very professional piolet and very friendly. The views were spectacular. We would do it again without issue. Defiantly worth the money.Written 20 March 2025
- Jill D0 contributionsBrilliant experience!A brilliant experience. Extremely well organised from beginning to end. Everything happened on time. The trip is exciting, a bucket list tick! Our pilot Levi was excellent and ensured everyone got to fly up front if they wanted to.Written 18 March 2025
- Dan R0 contributionsGo for itAmazing trip would highly recommend. The mavericks bus was waiting half an hour early. We were driven to the centre then assigned a pilot who talked us through everything. Throughout the trip too and from the Grand Canyon it was smooth and the audio was great. We saw some amazing sites and finished off flying over the Las Vegas strip lit up. Well worth the money for the experienceWritten 16 March 2025
- Susan A0 contributionsSky View the Amazing CanyonAbsolutely amazing experience! Breathtaking bird’s eye view of our beautiful planet. Our pilot, Christian, was extremely competent & super knowledgeable of the area. He pointed out all the points of interest while adding humor & fun to the experience.Written 16 March 2025
- jonathansP9558JQ0 contributionsNot worth itIf you are considering booking a flight with Maverick in Las Vegas, I highly recommend saving yourself this money and doing another activity with it (limousin, rooftop bar, viewpoint). The helicopter has 6 seats (you will not be alone), and 3-4 passengers will be sitting at the back. Expect the people sitting in the middle seats at the back to not be able to see much (yet pay the same price as everybody else). The same goes with the passenger sitting on the back right side. Throughout the Strip tour, the helicopter only moves one direction and all the views will be on the left side. The pilots will not care much about your sitting preference, and there will be no option to claim a refund.Written 16 March 2025
- donnacormack10 contributionsDo not hesitate to book!What an absolutely amazing experience. First time flying in a helicopter - Peyton was our pilot, he was knowledgeable and we felt in very safe hands. His music playlist was fab too! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, a once in a lifetime trip, one definitely not to miss. Can 100% recommend Maverick, from the pick up at our chosen spot to the drop off back at our hotel, it was all a very well oiled machine.Written 12 March 2025
- P1343SOcherylp0 contributionsAn amazing experienceWhat an incredible experience. I was quite apprehensive but there really was no need, I loved every moment. Our pilot Nick was great, he was great at sharing his knowledge and had a good playlist which added to the experience whilst flying. A super smooth ride, and the views were spectacular. This is a very professional outfit, pick up on time, and everything about the trip exceeded my expectations. Thanks Nick!!Written 9 March 2025
- kevin n0 contributionsNot a bad experience, but the systems could be improved.We went on the helicopter tour and the skywalk experience. I have no complaints about the systems, but I do have a couple of concerns. Our pilot was very sweet, but didn’t really talk much during the flight. I feel that with this amount of money, the pilot should also act as a guide and make it a more interactive experience, making it more enjoyable rather than just sitting there and looking around. Additionally, it’s ridiculous for Maverick to charge three dollars for a small bottle of water after already charging $700 for the experience. You would think they would provide water for free. The same goes for the complimentary photograph; you have to buy everything. Again, it’s not that it’s a bad experience, but I feel these are small things they can improve to reach a five-star rating.Written 9 March 2025
- anitabY9352QW0 contributionsAmazing!Very professional outfit, the hotel pick ups and flight were spot on time. Were in awe of the scenery and being able to land in the Canyon, loved every minute of it.Written 8 March 2025
- nicolepF5117RQ0 contributionsAwesome chopper ride & canyon experienceThis is a great experience to do & much faster than a bus tour. Very expensive to do as our Aussie dollars don’t go far in the US but so worth it. Our pilot Gunner was pretty good & very knowledgeable also. If you’re worried about a helicopter tour there’s no need to be at all as it’s so much fun & we felt safe at all times. The canyon was great with a bit of champers and some nuts. Overall awesome!!Written 7 March 2025
- Andy P0 contributionsSimply stunningThat was far beyond my wildest expectations. From start to finish is was super professional. The canyon is simply breathtaking and hard to take. With information over the headsets and tunes in between we were soon at bottom of the canyon with a glass of bubbly 🍾 Coming back to Vegas we crested a hill to the Vegas skyline with the boys are back in town rocking the headset. Bucket list checked ✔️ Maverick helicopters rock 👍😎Written 5 March 2025
- noelhT5031HW0 contributionsFlightThe views were fantastic throughout. The only drawback for the flight was the pilot seemed quite disinterested & provided very minimal comments. We got recorded commentary off & on but nothing more. A bit disappointing as we picked this company because the reviews we had read indicated very good explanations from the pilot throughout. But, the flight was a great experience.Written 4 March 2025
- sharongX8391HY0 contributionsBrilliant night out. Best in Vegas.We we're very nervous. But it was amazing. The views of the city couldn't be surpassed by anything else. We felt so safe too. Couldn't recommend it more. Staff we're great too.Written 3 March 2025
- toddmD4725TR0 contributionsFebruary 2025 Grand Canyon tour.Awesome! Pilot was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. Grand Canyon landing and Hoover Dam fly by were amazing. I will look for Maverick Helicopters wherever I travel.Written 2 March 2025

Absolutly fantastic . Thanks to our pilot, this December 31, 2023 excursion will remain unforgettable. Aaron is an experienced pilot, eager to show us the beauties of the Grand Canyon, available to answer all our questions and, above all, full of humor. Passengers have a panoramic view throughout the flight, and landing in the Grand Canyon for a glass of champagne remains one of the highlights of this magnificent excursion, completed by a dusk flight over the strip with all its magical lights.

This was an amazing experience! The views of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead on the way to the Canyon were exceptional!! The pilot made sure to dip down over the dam so both sides of the copter got the best view. On the way back we circle the Strip. Wow what a view!! If I make it back to Vegas I will book a flight with Maverick again!

I was reluctant to go , however the professionalism from start to finish made me feel comfortable. I had the best time and had the last stop and back in the front which is the best. Our pilot was Jordan and he was brilliant with commentary with some interesting facts along the journey.
We did the Grand Canyon trip with a stop of in the Canyon below the rim, he was a great host with champagne and snacks with plenty of time to look around .
We opted for the better package and it’s well worth it with pick ups from hotel.
It’s a good experience to tick off your list.

We booked to fly over/into the Grand Canyon under one of their most common packages. The night before we were due to fly my wife fell ill with a vomiting bug and was violently ill right through the night. I consequently called Maverick Helicopters at 07.15am that morning to ask if they could move us a day to give my wife a chance to recover.....I also somewhat naively thought they might not want an ill passenger with the potential to pass on a bug to the pilot and the other guests on the plane....but they were completely indifferent and entirely inflexible. Turn up or lose 100% of your payment.
So you can understand, Maverick is a big operation - they fly multiple helicopters in convoy to the canyon multiple times a day - but they showed zero compassion and zero flexibility. In the end, and I have no idea how (the power of motion sickness pills?), my wife forced herself to make the pick up time and to take the flight. She lasted until the last leg and then unfortunately was 'ill' on the helicopter as we flew the leg over the LV Strip.
The trip itself was enjoyable, our pilot was a great guy and in the end what could have been an amazing experience was diminished to 'good-but' by the rabidly money-focused, inflexibility shown by a company that clearly puts profit before it's clients or staff.

What an amazing adventure! The helicopter was all glass, you could see from every angle forever. The pilot was incredible, he was the best “tour guide” I’ve ever had. Trip was easy to book directly with Maverick, options of time and length were provided and the entire operation was extremely efficient and fun. Fabulous company!

Our pilot was Adam, lovely gentleman, superb tour, extremely comfortable helicopter. If you want to actually land in the Grand Canyon only Maverick and another company have permission to do this from the Native Indians. Absolutely wonderful experience, from pick up from hotel, reception at Maverick at Las Vegas airport, pilot/pilots (amazed how the 7 helicopters took off/ landed from airport and Grand Canyon and refuel) and drop off back to hotel. Well worth the money, only going to do it once and did it with the right company. Adam the only question you were unable to answer, what rocks make up Grand Canyon apparently sandstone, mudstone and sedimentary. You got me when I asked why you wanted to work for this company answer due to their fantastic maintenance record, that’s the pilot I want to fly with and the company I want to fly with! We were a party of four with a lovely couple from Bristol, fortunately due to wind conditions and weight, each couple was rotated, we each got a trip in the front. Well done Maverick and Adam!

We went on this helicopter tour on my 30th birthday, whilst also on our honeymoon from England, and this really made the Las Vegas leg of our trip an unforgettable experience.
The views we took in were completely breath taking and being able to land and fully appreciate sheer size of the Grand Canyon is something which will always stay with me.
Our pilot was friendly and professional, and we found the tour really informative whilst also giving you space to immerse yourself in the sights. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone celebrating our simply wanting to experience the Grand Canyon from this unique viewpoint.

They told me that they would pick me up at the hotel at 1:15 p.m, so I decided to be at the meeting point earlier. At that point they call me and tell me that they are already outside.
So I said how punctual they are, then the flight was exactly at the agreed time. I didn't have any problems with the registration, the pilot was very attentive and friendly. He answered everything they asked him.
When we got on the helicopter, he played the Soundtrack from the movie Top Gun. Which is very funny because the company is called Maverick.
Without a doubt, it was a very nice experience, I would repeat it as many times as necessary. I recommend it 100%.
Quisiera ser como el piloto que tiene el mejor trabajo del mundo. Olvide el nombre del piloto pero saludos desde Ciudad de México.

From the ease of booking to the return was flawless. We were picked up on time and a bit early as the requested. The bus was so clean and nice. Smooth ride there. Once there easy directions to the waiting area. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff and awesome pilot.
You get safety instructions and then you are taken to the run way where your picture is taken for purchase. Awesome picture you will want to purchase. The take off is smooth. The pilot gives you some fun facts. When you get to the destination there are tables and you can chose water, soda or champagne while you look around take in the sight and take pictures. You can explore for about 1/2 hour before you board and switch spots so you can sit in the front. Landing was smooth. The return was easy. Time to shop in the gift shop then back to your hotel. No issues just much fun. Definitely worth the price.

Of all the activities I did at LV, this is by far the best and most recommended.
The experience itself, the flight (1st time for me), the views from the air of the Hoover Dam and the grand canyon, are unique.
Special mention for pilot Jennifer. Excellent. Both his piloting and explanations and also music!
