The Key Reason Why Maverick Grand Canyon Helicopters Is The High-End Travelers' Option

By Nena Fuentes


Grand Canyon tours cover all price points, but when you want the best, you should look into Maverick tours. Maverick offers the ultimate in safety and service on their 5-star tours. It is definitely worth the extra cost to have a fantastic experience. It's the best way to tour. Maverick owns the best state of the art choppers touring the Grand Canyon.

Maverick owns the best state of the art choppers touring the Grand Canyon. EcoStar 130 ChoppersMaverick uses the best sightseeing helicopters available, the EcoStar 130. Thanks to the stadium-style seats these choppers have, you'll get a great view. In addition, the cabin is 25 percent larger than traditional helicopters and the EcoStar 130 has a wraparound windshield for the best view.

Maverick hires the best pilots in the business and you can speak with your pilot easily during your flight. In the summer when the temperatures soar, you will appreciate the advance climate control provided by these choppers too. All things considered, the EcoStar 130 is the perfect aircraft for taking a Grand Canyon tour.

In short, the EcoStar 130 is ideal for touring the Grand Canyon, and you should book a tour on one if you can. Take Off PointsAll flights on Maverick helicopters take off from the Vegas Strip (West Rim tours) or a private terminal at the South Rim's Grand Canyon National Park Airport. The Strip flights are amazing besides being convenient (just a few minutes from virtually all the big hotels), on the leg home you get to fly over the Strip.

Las Vegas Landing And Air-Only Tours: Maverick gives you a choice in tours from Vegas, they can be air-only, or you can land at the West Rim. The helicopters that depart from Las Vegas only fly to the West Rim since the South Rim is out of flight range being 277 miles away. The flight to the canyon offers spectacular scenic views of the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the canyon itself.

When you take a landing tour, you can get out on the canyon floor or on the top of the rim. The most popular Maverick tours fly you down to the canyon floor. They come with a Champagne picnic and give you at least half an hour to explore the base of the canyon and the Colorado River shoreline. The landing tours that drop you off on top of the rim allow 2 1/2 hours to see the sights before the return flight home. Guano Point and Eagle Point are two of the sights you won't want to miss. One flight even comes with VIP access to the all-glass Grand Canyon Skywalk. It's a remarkable place that lets you stand 4,000 feet above the canyon bottom, 70 feet past the edge!

South Rim Tours: If you're in Vegas and want to take a tour of the South Rim, take an airplane from the city to the South Rim first, then you can transfer to a chopper or bus. These tours also come with a 2 1/2 hour bus tour of the Grand Canyon National Park. The Maverick helicopter tours of the South Rim depart every day from their terminal in Tusayan at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. One of the tour options is a thirty-minute flight that takes you to the North Rim and back. My personal preference, though, is the 50-minute tour. It also flies to the North Rim, but goes to the eastern edge of the park too. You'll see as much as 3/4 of the entire Park by the time your tour's over!
