Gia was an awesome tour guide and Michael was a great driver. The sights were amazing and we would very much encourage everybody to do the helicopter and boat tour. Going down into the grand canyon will get you some of the beat pictures youll have.

The pilot was very professional and friendly. The ride was very smooth and this comes from someone who does not tolerate any type of turbulence. The take off and landing were very smooth. I sat in the front seat and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. My only complaint was that we had to wait 1 hour before our flight. This cut into the time we had for our bus tour. We had to skip on the sky walk in order to catch our return bus. But the helicopter ride was far better .

Took my parents and younger bro on this trip and it was honestly EPIC. We lucked out with the weather (sunny but not murder-hot) and our guide, Haejin, was super chill and cracked jokes all day. Nami Island is suuuper cute—those tree-lined paths! We rented bikes (def do that if u don’t wanna walk forever). Seorak Mountain was a bit crowded but the cable car views were wild. Packed snacks and was glad I did since the food stalls at Seorak had huge lines. Heads up: bring bug spray for the hike. Would totally do this again!

Went with my boyfriend and we loved it! The bus ride out of Seoul is kinda long but our guide put on kpop and made it fun. Nami Island was straight out of a movie—saw a bunch of squirrels and even a white peacock (??). Seorak was a highlight, especially the cable car, but warning: it gets windy up top, hold ur hat! We grabbed lunch at one of the local places near the base—oodles of noodles. 100% recommend for a day escape from the city.

Went solo b/c my friends bailed, but didn’t regret it. Guide was friendly, group was a mixed bunch—families, some couples. Nami Island in the morning was really peaceful, but it got PACKED after 11am. Seorak is stunning, but ngl the steps up to the observatory are a workout so wear good shoes. It rained a bit in the afternoon but still got amazing pics. Wish we had 30 more mins at the mountain but overall, worth it.

The flight was very exciting and the views were spectacular. Our pilot was so professional and friendly. All the staff were there courteous and helpful. This is the only way to view the magnificent Grand Canyon. We flew during the noon hour but plan to return one day and fly late afternoon to see how the colors of the canyon might change. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. We loved it!!!!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh.

Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Did this trip with my partner. Weather was HOT, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Nami Island is really something else, all those tall trees and birds. We skipped the bike rental but kinda wish we hadn’t, it’s bigger than it looks. Seorak Mountain hike was doable, not too steep. Only thing: bus AC wasn’t strong, so ride back was sweaty. Still a really good day.

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

This was the highlight of our Las Vegas holiday. Everything went as planned, no hitches & even the weather was ideal. We took an early morning flight, and after being picked up at the time specified from our hotel we were taken to our helicopter. We met our knowledgeable pilot, learned so much from him. Fantastic trip!

We took a tour of the Grand Canyon with Papillon during our visit to Las Vegas. We'd never been to the Grand Canyon before, and this was DEFINITELY the way to see it! The pilot was super friendly and explained everything that was happening and what we were seeing, and she had a great sense of humor, made the ride really fun. Got to see Lake Meade and the Hoover Dam from above as well as views of the canyon that we never would have gotten any other way. Wonderful experience!

Honestly, this tour was SOOO much fun. Went with my girlfriend and we both loved the whole vibe. Our guide, Min, kept cracking jokes the whole time and even helped us find the best spot for ice cream on Nami Island (seriously, pistachio is a win). The railbike part was a bit sweaty but totally worth the views. Got a bit crowded in the afternoon though, so maybe start early if ur not into crowds. Big thumbs up!

Went solo and was a bit nervous at first but the group was super friendly. Our guide Anna explained everything really clearly, I never felt lost. The ferry to Nami Island was short but pretty packed (guess I shoulda expected that in July). Loved the shaded bike trails, but next time I’d bring more water. Def worth it for the scenery alone.

The booking process was seamless, check in process was easy and the pilot was great. As we flew over various spots of the canyon we were explained in detail what each one of them was and the significance of them all. Highly recommend Maverick Helicopters to anyone looking for an experience of their lifetime.

Absolutely incredible experience! I was nervous the entire time and still has a blast! Pilots were great. Professional and informative. Worth every penny. Feel like we should have done both the plane and helicopter rides

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.

Good evening ! Please remove a doubt from me: I booked for myself and my friend for a year from now, April 20, 2026....but I received two satisfaction surveys for April 20...2025. 5 days ago. Is there an error on your part? or mine within the date indicated during my purchase? And if so, is it possible to arrange this?... I hope I haven't wasted your time :( Thank you in advance, I remain available of course. Very good night to you!

- During your tour, adhere to Leave No Trace principles by avoiding littering and refraining from collecting plants, rocks, or other natural elements.
- Popular sites like the Skywalk, Eagle Point, and the South Rim’s viewpoints have designated paths to protect both visitors and the landscape. Always follow marked trails to ensure safety and conservation.
- Feeding wildlife is strictly prohibited across all areas of the park, including Grand Canyon West and along the Colorado River. Maintain a safe distance from all animals, even smaller ones like squirrels, which are often found in visitor areas and may approach people.
- Open fires are restricted to specific areas, and smoking is limited to designated spots only. Be mindful of any additional fire restrictions that may be in place, as they can change with weather conditions.
- To avoid crowds, consider booking during the week, as weekends and holidays tend to be busier. Weekday mornings also offer a quieter experience at attractions like the Skywalk and Eagle Point.
- Cell reception is sparse in many areas of the Grand Canyon, especially at the rims and deeper points. Bring a fully charged camera or battery pack if you plan to take photos or videos without relying on your phone.
- Temperatures can vary dramatically, especially near the rims. Wear layers, sturdy shoes, and bring sun protection. Wear sun shades to protect your eyes from direct sun glare.
- The desert air can be deceptively dehydrating, even on cooler days. Bring a refillable water bottle, and consider packing light snacks. Some tours include meals, but additional snacks can help keep your energy up, especially on longer bus or Hummer tours.

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Loved this trip! Went with my boyfriend. Nami Island was a fairytale with the cherry blossoms. Seorak hike was hard but worth it for the view. Guide was super enthusiastic.

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

Hopping on the chopper was the best experience of my life. I am usually a little giddy up in the air, but the pilot and co-pilot were super friendly and helped distracting me.
