Grand Canyon Tours: Maverick's Luxurious Helicopter Sightseeing Tours
Shopping for a luxury class Grand Canyon helicopter tour? Look no further than Maverick Helicopters. The company flies only the top aircraft and prides itself on its five-star customer service, which includes tailoring tours to meet your needs. If you are looking for first-class adventure, fly Maverick.
Best of class starts with top-of-the-line helicopters. Maverick uses only the ECO-Star 130, an aircraft that features front-facing, theater-style seating. The climate-controlled cabin is 23% larger than conventional helicopters and comes with a 180-degree wraparound glass windshield for panoramic visibility. Digital communication systems let you chat via your voice-activated headset with your pilot and fellow passengers. And, to memorialize your flight, there's a multi-camera sky-cam video system that captures your adventure from start to finish.
Being in command of a fleet of high-end choppers like this didn't happen over night. Launched in 1995 with just two helicopters, Maverick entrepreneur and CEO Greg Rochna set his sights on becoming the premier provider of VIP helicopter tours from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. That focus has resulted in Maverick becoming the largest EcoStar helicopter tour company in the world.
Maverick's selection of trips to the South Rim and the West Rim is huge. Here's a quick look:
West Rim
These tours depart from Las Vegas' executive air terminal on the south end of The Strip. Flight time to Grand Canyon West is 45 minutes. Pick from air-only or air-ground tours that include base-landings, river rafting, the Grand Canyon Skywalk, and Hummer back-road excursions. Maverick also offers sunrise and sunset flights. Tour duration ranges from three hours to six hours. Trips include free hotel pick up and drop off and a light meal.
South Rim
Flights leave from the company's new terminal at Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan, AZ, a small town just minutes from the National Park's main entrance. Tours take off over the forested Kaibab Plateau and enter the Dragoon Corridor, the widest, deepest part of the canyon, before turning back at the North Rim. Tours last up to 50 minutes.
If you want the lowest prices on Maverick Helicopter tours, I suggest using the company's safe and secure website. The website, which is very easy to use, is also where Maverick announces its lowest prices and tour specials. I suggest you reserve your flight in advance. Grand Canyon airspace is strictly regulated, which means flights and seats are limited.
Summary
If you are looking for a luxury Grand Canyon helicopter tour, try Maverick. The company operates a fleet comprised entirely of deluxe EcoStar 130's and has an outstanding reputation for providing custom trips for events, groups, and private parties. Maverick flies out of Las Vegas and Grand Canyon, AZ, and runs tours daily to the West Rim and the South Rim. If you are looking to fly the Grand Canyon in style and comfort, look no further than Maverick Helicopters.
