This Heli tour was incredible! It was a once in a lifetime experience for my daughter and I! The check-in process went smoothly, and everyone at the Heliport was very nice and friendly. Our pilot, was very knowledgeable and experienced. We learned a lot of history regarding Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. We flew literally THROUGH the West Rim of the Canyon with the Mighty Colorado River below… Not to mention the views from the helicopter were breathtakingly beautiful. Once we landed at the ranch we were greeted by a singing cowboy named Casey. He talked about the steer, horses, and cattle that lived on the ranch. Remember, this is a real working cowboy ranch! We were then checked in at the front desk by the nicest and friendliest ladies, named Jessie and Phoenix. We stayed in the Thor Cabin, which was so cute! It even had a loft, and the bathroom had a Victorian Tub in it! There were people from all over the world visiting that day. The sunset horseback ride is a Must Do as well! Our guide “Cowboy Fred” was also very knowledgeable about the ranch as well as the livestock that lived there. We even saw buffalo and baby calfs! At Sunset, we stopped at this lookout point and watched the sun go down while sipping champagne and listening to Cowboy Casey singing songs next to a Teepee. The dinner was great! Everyone enjoyed Casey singing to us! After dinner, we all went out by the campfire, listened to more cowboy stories, and Casey took some song requests! We enjoyed the S-mores too! After a full day of taking in all the fresh air, we turned in. We woke up early the next morning to see the Sunrise. It was a beautiful once in a life time experience! Breakfast was your typical Cowboy Meal – eggs, bacon, potatoes, and biscuits with cowboy gravy. After breakfast, we boarded the helicopter and flew back to Vegas over Lake Mead, and down the Strip. I would highly suggest this tour as the memories my daughter and I have will never be forgotten!
the experience was wonderful I would fully recomend this trip best part of our hoilday
Excellent trip would reccomend it to anyone. First rate helicopter service with very knowledgable pilots. At the ranch the staff were second to none. A real treat.
A fantastic trip out to the canyon by helicopter followed by a great overnight stay at the ranch. The sunset horseback ride is not to be missed and the staff at the ranch couldn't be more helpful. The dinner of ribs was exquisite followed by an evening rugged up around a bonfire with music before turning in to the gorgeously appointed cabins - life doesn't get much better than this.
We had a fabulous time. Everything ran very smoothly. The Canyon from the helicopter was magnificent. The Ranch was fun albeit a short visit. Would definitely use Viator again.
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Not to be missed!
If you go to Las Vegas then an overnight stay at the ranch by helicopter is a must I would say it was the best part of my vacation. The staff were friendly and the cabins were cosy and warm as long as you had the wood stove burning with the electric blanket on it was Jan when we went. Lovely meal and great company! Would do it again tomorrow.
Flight into the Grand Canyon was jaw-dropping. The ranch stay was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Casey made the campfire a memorable event.
The flight was fantastic and when compared to other helicopter tours provided a much longer and therefore greater experience of the Grand Canyon.
The cowboy ranch, horse ride with a glass of champagne and the campfire with a few songs from Kelly the local cowboy was a wonderful touch.
The only negative was the 35min delay to our flight due to technical fault- when it was to allow for a local TV show to film a section. Otherwise I would highly recommend this trip!
This made for a great time!
Fantastic, loved it! Wasn't given all the information about times as such when booked. Was only told we were leaving first flight out when sitting around the bonfire after dinner, but was told when booked that we didn't return until 2pm.
Flight was excellent. Ranch very welcoming but we were left to our own devises for 3 hours not told where anything was. tepee had no heating it was freezing in the evening. Toilets were very smelly. Meal was ok. Camp site entertainment was excellent.
Flying in a helicopter over the Grand Canyon was a memorable experience; however, not landing and only seeing the West Rim was a big mistake! Furthermore, the ranch was a tourist trap--59 dollars to sit on a horse that was just following a line in slow motion and riding around in dust with no view over the Grand Canyon--that's a waste of money and time. The ranch was located far from the West Rim--no chance at going for a walk to enjoy the sight of the Grand Canyon. Very expensive for a trip like that. Next time we will travel to the North and East Rims.
