The highlight of our trip to Las Vegas!!! A very professional organisation - limo picked us up on time, staff very courteous, pilot very informative. The Grand Canyon is just what it says on the tin -Grand, and our helicopter trip gave us the best way to experience it. The opportunity to land and walk around was the best, and the trip lived up to all our expectations. Great views of lake Mead and the Hoover dam. Would love to do it again and would recommend Sundance.
We booked through Viator at a better price than booking direct with Sundance.

We visited Vegas in October for a special anniversary - had booked Sundance mainly on reading the reviews from Trip Advisor. Wife was very nervous , but was amazed to be picked up by a limo!!!!, the flight was awesome , across Hoover Dam and then we landed on the floor of the Canyon. The commentary was excellent , customer service was well beyond what we expected.
We were not aware that there was a recording being made of the flight and inside the cockpit - well worth the cost ....we have relived the experience many times.
Sundance made our holiday so special.

Sundance Helicopters goes above and beyond customer service! From the limo ride to jet center, the staff at reception, the amazing pilot........Let alone the incredible journey to the Grand Canyon! Anyone traveling to Vegas should put your money into this experience instead of the slot machines...you won't be disappointed!!! Sundance is top notch!

We were booked for a 30 minute twilight tour. But the company called to say they would like to move us to a later flight which was an upgrade since it was 1hr and 30 mins.

The staff were great. Very professional, funny, and the ride was overall great.

I'm 28 years old and I love adventure. I expected the helicopter ride to be a little unstable, and not so solid. I was wrong. The flight was smooth and was almost like flying in a plane once it got in the air. I would have definetely liked more twists and turns to spice things up. But again, this isn't a joy ride it's more of a tour over the grand canyon.

Ok, so the tour over the Grand Canyon was nice. But to be completely honest, it was boring after about 30 minutes. If you're in to sightseeing and looking at huge rocks. You'll enjoy this. It was cool for about 30 minutes then I got bored and was ready to land (or at least some turns and twists). :)

This ride/tour is good for older folks, and children. If you're looking for an adventure this isnt' really the ride for your. They fly at a high altitude, and they're very smooth and stable which makes this great tour for people who want to fly over the Canyon. But I will warn you, it can get boring after a while.

It didn't help that we got about 3 hours of sleep the night before.

WOW! This was the best ever. I booked the "All American Grand Canyon Tour" on Viator.com and used a coupon code. I got a great deal on viator.

We got picked up by the limo in the morning and taken to the airport. We watched a brief safety video and then got on the helicopter.

The pilot was top notch. Friendly, fun, and full of information. Also, the narration that played over our headphones was great -- the music had us laughing....someone did a great job putting it together.

When we landed, we had turkey sandwiches with drinks, veggies, and apples.

The flight was 45 minutes each way and about 30 minutes on the floor of the grand canyon for pictures and lunch.

Overall this was a must do!
