3 Spectacular U.S. Destinations to See by Helicopter

Be amazed by bird’s-eye views of the Grand Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the USA's most famous natural wonders. Maverick Helicopters offers several tour packages that showcase the magnitude of this geological marvel. You can depart from Las Vegas to take in panoramas of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Mojave Desert before crossing into Arizona to fly over the Grand Canyon on the Grand Canyon Wind Dancer Tour. This outing also includes a catered landing on a private bluff – an experience you'll never forget.

For an up-close look at the Grand Canyon’s West Rim, sign up for the Skywalk Odyssey Tour. This trip includes an express helicopter flight to the heart of the Grand Canyon and expedited admission to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass bridge that extends past the Canyon rim for breathtaking views all the way to the floor.

If you prefer to depart from the South Rim, you can see treasured sites on the Canyon Spirit Tour. You’ll fly over the Kaibab National Forest, the Colorado River, the Painted Desert and Dragon Corridor: the widest and deepest section of the Grand Canyon. This 45-minute tour is the longest flight Maverick Helicopters offers over Grand Canyon National Park.

With Maverick Helicopters, you can tour Las Vegas by day or night to view the lights and landmarks from a unique vantage point.
