Make sure to sit on the left side of the plane. I sat on the right side and saw very little of the Grand Canyon. Very disappointing. There was plenty of time for the pilot to circle around and let everyone on the plane see the view but she apparently was more interested in seeing the sights herself and getting... More

The landscape was redish hues of dirt,spewed with cactus and rocky shapes,it would be nice to raft the river or take donkeys down the trails canyon,Just looking down is cool but after a few minutes,its enough. More

Were bumped off flights on the first day due to lack of seats, so we had to re-book for the second day. Were told an incorrect pick up time, missed the pickup and were told to taxi out to airport which was 40mins away. Arrived only to be told there were again no seats... and to queue at the bus...

After doing lots of research on here and around Las Vegas we opted for Grand Canyon airlines and the plane tour to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. At £100 cheaper than the helicopter it was a bit more in our budget and looked to offer more than the helicopter tour. In research everyone said that the south rim... More

First we went on the plane ride and the service, view and experience was breathtaking. We got video and still shots that look professional. After that wonderful experience, I was skeptical about the jeep ride but it turned out to be another unique experience of great service and hospitality by a native Navajo Indian, Leonard, who was a photo assistant,...

We were picked up right on time at our hotel. We made a few more pickups and then proceeded in the very comfortable motor coach to the airfield. There we were seated in a very nice loung area with a snack bar, gift shop, restrooms, etc. while everyone was processed for their tours. Once all the West Rim trips left,... More

I would not recommend Papillon Helicopter tours to anyone. The north rim helicopter tour was supposed to be the highlight of our trip - we were soooo excited. We planned our trip to the Grand Canyon around our tour time which was the last of the day, and I called within 24 hrs of take off to confirm our flight.... More

We were only at the Grand Canyon for a little more than a day. So we could only see so much. Taking the flight we got to see far more than we would have otherwise. We especially enjoyed getting to see the Colorado River from above, the Little Colorado’s aqua water, and the North Rim. Our flight was not full... More

In April we visited the Park and it was snowing the first day but it was still so beautiful. We stayed at the Maswik Lodge in one of the little cabins that was built in the 1930's. It was so cold that we had to have the heater on all night. But the cabin was very nice and comfortable. The... More

We booked our flight via the internet figuring that as this company was the original and first to ever fly trips into the canyon that they would really know there stuff! WRONG. The plane had about 10 seats, the pilot did not fly trips into the canyon regularly and had a guest on board in the co-pilots seat and spent... More
