3 reviews of Grand Canyon West Rim Champagne Quest and River Helicopter Tour

The helicopter flight was an amazing experience. Booking through Viator in advance meant I didn't have to get stressed about booking trips out there. Once you are in Vegas it is difficult to see the wood from the tress for all the people trying to sell you trips. I don't like big tour groups and this was ideal, a small party of six including myself and my partner were in the helicopter ensuring spectacular and unobstructed views. I was disappointed with the boat part though and would not recommend this as an extra. It is very short, 10-15 minutes and you don't travel any further into the canyon than the people who just paid for the flight and sat on the picnic table watching. In fact I was a little embarrassed when we walked back as the others in the tour could see it had been a waste of time. Overall though the experience left us with big grins on our faces!

Fantastic trip, only slight criticism was that there is not a lot of room in one of the seats in the rear of the helicopter. If you get the chance, sit in the front. Other than that it is great. Being on the water makes all the difference as you get a perspective on the sheer magnitude of the place. Just do it, you will not regret it.
