After your transfer to the airport in Boulder City, receive a warm welcome from your pilot and a safety briefing for your flight in a state-of-the-art A-Star helicopter. Then take to the skies for your flight to the Grand Canyon. You'll get amazing views along the way, passing over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Fortification Hill and the dark volcanic cliffs of the Black Canyon.

When you arrive at the Grand Canyon, your pilot flies you through the canyon to look at the colorful rock walls and see the Colorado River up close, then follow the path of the Colorado River past rock formations that formed millions of years ago. Keep your camera handy for photo ops of cathedral buttresses, sculptural rock pillars and enormous canyon expanses everywhere you look.

During the return flight, see other natural wonders such as the rugged Mojave Desert wilderness.

Visiting the Grand Canyon is a must-do when in the American Southwest. Choose from departure times throughout the day, which make this once-in-a-lifetime experience an easy excursion from Las Vegas.

Took the one hour long helicopter tour. Had incredible views of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The pilot was very nice, humorous and informative. This ride accommodates solo and couple travelers. Must try at least once in your lifetime experience :)

Excitement waned
Maxine_F, May 2023
First sighting into Grand Canyon was spectacular, but could have used a ride-a-long narration of the trip...history, facts, anecdotes, etc. A recording would have increased the experience, as the pilot was new.
Amazing & Breathtaking Experience
Maria_D, May 2023
Amazing experience to a breathtaking place on Earth. The pilot communicated well and was very knowledgeable of the area. My only complaint is that the helicopter did not landing in Grand Canyon for a photo opportunity. Highly recommend, much more enjoyable than hours travelling by bus/car.
Great tour of Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the LV Strip.
Jeff_S, May 2023
Great company to fly with. Very friendly. I requested a seat up front as I am a very tall man and they were able to accommodate as they called me and put me on an earlier flight where this would be possible. It's all about balancing out the aircraft but they made sure I was on a flight where this would the best riding experience for me. Much appreciated.
Amazing experience
stephan_t, May 2023

Luxury Helicopter tour
Jamie_D, May 2023
Exciting!!! Beautiful views, would never be able to see the Grand Canyon so close up!! Recommend 100%
Do not book on the last day of your trip!
Alyssa_L, May 2023
They called us 4h before our flight saying they couldn’t take us because we were the only ones booked on the flight. I told them it was our last day in vegas so they put me in a earlier flight (it gave us 30 mins to get ready). She was very rude on the phone. Refused to give us a discount. Very bad custumer service.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you for your feedback. Viator clearly states in the important information section that the tours require a minimum number of passengers to operate. Private flights are available for purchase.
It was a great experience...
Carlos_Q, May 2023
It was a great experience Stuff was helpful , friendly I would definitely do it again jus add the picnic to it
Great Adventure and Break From The Strip
David_R, May 2023
This was an awesome experience! This is definitely the way to see the Grand Canyon. The entire staff at 5 Star Helicopters was very professional from beginning to end. The shuttle pickup was on time and the terminal facility was nice. The pilot gave us a smooth ride and narrated the experience well throughout the flight. My only caution is that anyone who is very tall or overweight will be cramped inside the helicopter. Overall though, I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a little adventure during their trip to Vegas!
Amazing Experience.
bex862004, May 2023
Amazing experience. We wanted to do the shorter trip on the grand canyon as we didn't want to waste a whole day as some of the other trips were. They were brilliant. Cannot recommend them enough. Our pilot was brilliant and all communication was good. You will not regret booking this trip.

Bucket List Tour!
Elizabeth_M, May 2023
Bucket list item...helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon! From start-to-finish, 5 Star Helicopters really was 5 Star! Pick up at our hotel was on time, check in was smooth and the flight was awesome! Our pilot Erik was very knowledgeable and pointed out features as we went along. The helicopter was comfortable. You can't take backpacks or purses on the flight, but they provide lockable lockers to store personal belongings. Definitely recommend this tour!
It was an experience of a lifetime!
Carl_H, May 2023
Pilots personality, skill and ability to pilot. The view of the Grand Canyon and Hoover damn from a helicopter paints a picture as real as it gets versus any and all the television shows I've ever seen. I sincerely recommend this experience to be added to everyones bucket list!
Awesome experience
Gail_L, May 2023
Our pilot was knowledgeable and skilled! She proves that girls definitely ROCK!!!!! From pick up to drop off everything was professionally done, and very very enjoyable
Helicopter-Gr Canyon/and surrounding areas
Joseph_D, May 2023
First of all let me say that this company was very accomodating! Picked us up at hotel right on time, and also dropped us off when the trip was over. Almost thought we would be cancelled bc it was a very windy day. Our pilot was both extremely accurate (w/controlling the chopper) and informative... i got great pictures of virgin areas... a once in a lifetime grand experience and view... the only downside was there were 6 full grown adults tightly squeezed in the helicopter...dress comfortably and light.
Amazing
Carolyne_G, May 2023
The entire tour was epic. I was on the front as I requested to be for my birthday. Small group (6 people). Seats are a little tight. I'm a small frame woman and feel tight but I guess it's helicopter and it what it is.
Grand Canyon is wonderful.
Chico, May 2023
Grand Canyon is wonderful. The only problem we had is that we (my and my wife) stayed on the worst side of the helicopter, the best images/photographs were on the opposite side. I suppose that the pilot did not have the time to rotate the helicopter so anyone would have the same opportunity.
Once in a lifetime
Yvonne_K, May 2023

James_F, May 2023
The trip was good the pilot did a very good job. You need to consider people’s height when you place them in seats. I’m 6ft and you placed me in a seat that my knees were being pressed into the front seat. I could t move at all ruined the whole trip for me and I couldn’t wait to just get out of the helicopter.

Just amazing. Pilot has a great personality and truly cares about the history of the Grand Canyon and its people.
A great way to see the Grand Canyon
GRAEME_M, Apr 2023
We had a great time and especially enjoyed our pilot Mike, who kept us entertained with his knowledge of the area. A fantastic experience.
Awesome flight,
Maurice_E, Apr 2023
Great pickup and drop off service. Going in and through the canyon was amazing. And learned some history about the Hoover damn along the way.
Canyon cruising !!
Norman_S, Apr 2023
Great pilot, great ride. Pilot had us staring at a wall in front of us. Quit a thrill. Only complaint is a little cramped in back. Too tight to one another. Other than that, 5 star !
Tallest person there, got put in the smallest seat.
Brandon_P, Apr 2023
We booked a 3:15 trip and I got a call later in the day asking if I minded going on an earlier trip in order to fill a full tour (6 passengers). We agreed and were told by the scheduler that she'd put a note in so we'd have the front seat. Get to the actual helicopter after safety briefing and am placed in the smallest of 6 seats in the aircraft, a little late to protest as the pilot says it's for weight distribution. Mind you, when you sign up, you have to enter your height AND weight. I'm 6'1"/220 and stood about 7" taller than the 5 other female passengers. I was seated in the L rear seat about 30 seconds before take off, even after my protest, was told it was due to weight distribution. I felt baited and switched, then spent the next 90 minutes with my knees at my chest and my neck flexed down in order to see out the window. The views were beautiful but my experience was not enjoyable at all.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Brandon, Thank you for your feedback. After review of the flight manifest, I see that you were actually seated in the largest seat in the helicopter. Seat assignments in the helicopter are based on weight & balance. Private photo flights are available should you want more seating options while following the weight distribution.
Excellent pilot that made...
Robert_T, Apr 2023
Excellent pilot that made the experience so enlightening and exciting. Unbelievable experience that you can’t imagine until you’re right there in the helicopter. Thank you!!
Exceptional experience!!
Elaine_S, Apr 2023
Exceptional experience of a lifetime! We were a party of 4 that thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the heli tour and the passion, knowledge and experience of our pilot Mike! The love and knowledge he has for the flying and area really added to this experience!
Amazing experience!
Jamie_B, Apr 2023
Amazing experience! So easy to book and they worked with me every step of the way. Breathtaking views and so much fun!
