Traveler Tips
If hiking and walking around the rim are not for you, this is the perfect opportunity to see the canyon.
You will think that you are hovering over the huge canyon but ask your pilot what your airspeed is, you will be very surprised.
There is an opportunity at the end to purchase a photo and video of the trip, which was reasonably price.

Just ...Wow!
Leah_R, Jun 2022
Absolutely breathtaking. A while different experience to traversing the rim or hiking into the canyon. Awe inspiring.
Priceless memories….
Stephen_C, Jun 2022
Taking my daughter and grandsons to the Grand Canyon. And, watching them experience the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. It was a fun time for all of us. Making memories!
Lack of coordination
Ronald_P, Jun 2022
Trying to adjust number of personnel flying. Viator said they reduced number, but did not coordinate with Maverick. Maverick corrected number of flyers and keep us at same time. Next time I will coordinate and book direct with company involved.
You must do this.
Diane_E, Jun 2022
This was definitely a bucket list item fulfilled for us! Red Rock did a great job. Our pilot, Casey, was very knowledgeable and told us all about the area around us and how ballooning worked. Really enjoyed the champagne toast afterwards while hearing about the history of ballooning. Super cool experience!
Amazing flight

You get a better appreciation for the vastness of the canyon by flying over even a small portion of the canyon.
