Just a big thank you to the guys at Papillon for a great day in the sky. We had an awesome pilot and found the staff on the ground and on the phone fantastic to deal with.

The flight was amazing and well worth it, I'd recommend it to anyone able to get in a chopper!

I was in Las Vegas and wanted to see the grand canyon without taking the whole day. After reading all the reviews I was concerned about finding a reputable company and settled on Papillion.

I took the 4 hour helicopter tour that lands in the canyon (40 mins in air - 30 mins on ground 40 mins in air back ) and time on the bus to and fro from the hotel.

This place had the best price (I called two days before we wanted to go and was able to get the internet pricing) . We had no issues, everything that was promised was delivered and the staff was professional and I felt safe.

I would suggest this company (note that you do not take off from vegas, they drive you out to boulder city) which was fine since they were much cheaper than people on the strip.

I think my title just about sums things up. I did the canyon floor landing and champagne picnic. The guide/ pilot was superbly professional very informative and obviously enjoyed his job, the time allocated was just about right and the helicopter flight was fantastic. If like me you haven't flown by 'chopper' before just go for it. It's a far more comfortable ride than an aeroplane for a start. I ended up addicted and have been up again.
I recommend this tour if you want to experience the Grand Canyon by air. Enjoy C

There were no representatives from Papillon in the whole 12 hour tour, but once I found out where to go at the Grand Canyon Airport, the staff were friendly, the pilot was awesome and the views amazing. We were provided with a delicious breakfast and then went on some pickup trucks to Upper Antelope Canyon. We were not guided very well or told what was going on, you just kind of went with the flow and it turned out awesome! After that, the rafting trip in the Glen Canyon was spectactular, our river guide, Kelly, was so informative and fun. I highly recommend the plane/bus/raft tour, so worth the money! You get a nice picnic lunch at the bottom of the canyon! Middle of April was the perfect time, not too hot (still got burned), but nice breeze and sunny! Do NOT go in the middle of summer, you will fry!
