Grand Canyon West, AZ 86434, USA
View on Google MapsThe flight itself was great! Neither pilot on either trip was communicative - I was also surprised we didn’t wear proper headphones. So it was a quick, quiet trip down and a quick, quiet trip back after the boat ride on the Colorado River. Pilots were safe and did a good job flying the helicopters. Part of our trip included a short boat ride on the river and our driver was awesome! Full of great history and facts about the region.
Helicopter ride was absolutely stunning! I cried going down into the Grand Canyon - soooo beautiful and a smooth ride. Pilot was quiet but not rude. And the pontoon boat driver was kind and offered to take pictures of us on the boat. Glad we got selfies of us with the helicopter in the background as they were not offered.
We booked this tour for our 20th wedding anniversary. Overall service provided by Papillon was excellent and I would highly recommend them. From our initial booking they were very helpful with any queries we had. On the day of our tour we enjoyed a visit to Guano Point before our helicopter tour. This really was the highlight of our whole holiday. As it was our anniversary the staff arranged for just the 2 of us to be in the helicopter travelling down. The pontoon trip along the Colorado River was amazing - so scenic - and the guide provided us with interesting information along the way. There was water available after the pontoon trip while we waited for our helicopter trip back up and staff here had everything well organised. I would definitely recommend booking with Papillon - thank you so much!

Experience was too notch :) guides were amazing. Had such a great time. Will definitely do it again.
Such an amazing experience! The guides were great and the guide that drove the boat took extra time for our pictures and videos
Great disappointment after the helicopter tour. They didn't meet the ADD-ON's. Even greater disappointment is that Viator does not want to answer for U$S 220 charged. Looks like a fraud.
My husband had never been to the Grand Canyon and I had explained to him that you had to see it with your own eyes to appreciate the view. We were on a road trip with limited time and drove to the west rim from Vegas. The heli and pontoon ride from start to finish took about 1 1/2 hours. Our helicopter pilot did not converse with us but we were lucky to be the only ones in the vehicle going into the canyon and had a great view. We had to ask where to go for the pontoon boat but the boat guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Well priced for what we did.
Helicopter pilot wasn't friendly. Not even a hello or any informative narration during the entire ride. No photo opportunity with Helicopter like the picture in tour fliers. It was a hush hush entry and exit. Ride was smooth though. Boat tour was fun and the driver was informative.
We took the Grand Canyon helicopter tour and boat ride in the Colorado river. There no optional meal so skip that part. This trip was AWESOME. Started with a hotel pick-up and shuttle to Boulder for a light plane ride on a Cessna Caravan. Great and friend pilot Riley. We landed by the GC and switched to a helicopter ride down 4000 feet to land by the Colorado River. Then to a pontoon boat for a ride on the river with a great local guide (wish I could remember his name). Then back to the helicopter to ascend. The helicopter pilots and crew were amazing. We felt safe every step of the way. Once on surface we too a shuttle ride to the Skywalk. Honestly this part can be skipped. Nice idea but simply not worth it. But the view from the canyon rim is only beaten by our next stop at Guano point. Then back to the plane with Pilot Riley and shuttle bus back to Vegas. Professional and well organized operation every step of the way. About 7 hours total. Expensive but a once in a life time experience. Highly recommend.
What an amazing experience! The helicopter ride was only a 7 min long but the view of the Grand Canyon was spectacular. we landed at the bottom of the canyon, took some stairs to take the boat tour on the Colorado river which was great! We had about twenty mins on the water and returned back. Highly recommend the tour.
