"Fantastic experience!"

Reviewed March 17, 2025

We were in Las Vegas last week and took the Golden Eagle Helicopter Tour. I was so impressed with the whole thing. Papillion was so organized from the hotel pick up and drop off to all the staff at the centre. Everything went very smoothly. Dave our pilot was funny,reassuring and knowledgeable. The Grand Canyon,Lake Mead and Hoover Dam views were spectacular. I will never forget this experience and highly recommend it. Amazing!

"Best way to See the Grand Canyon"

Reviewed March 12, 2025

Excellent from start to finish! Our pilot Charles was great, giving us just the right amount of useful information during the flight. One person on our group was very nervous, and Charles accurately warned when there was going to be any turbulence and during this calmly talked to us about the views which helped her realise it was all perfectly normal. This trip is a must and definitely the best way to see the Grand Canyon.

"Outstanding - Highly Recommend"

Reviewed March 08, 2025

Outstanding Trip, Papillon were very accomodating in booking from overseas and when we wanted to add an extra passenger to the group, they also made this seamless and the communication by email and phone was above expectation. We felt safe from the hotel pickup, initial briefing, to boarding and the Pilot (an Aussie but can't remember his name) was excellent. The actual flight and Grand Canyon experience was outstanding, definitely a memorable bucket list item and is something we would all recommend to anyone visiting Vegas, the views of the canyon and the strip and photo opps were amazing. Landing on the floor of the canyon was something special. We did the morning flight and had amazing time with no crowds, no wind, and crystal blue skies, and we only saw 1 other helicopter during the entire time. Worth mentioning, we had this same Heli Tour booked several years ago, but due to a medical emergency were unable to make the trip from Australia and Papillon were incredible with managing refunds etc. High integrity company that also provides amazing experiences!

"Glittering views of the Las Vegas Strip by night"

Reviewed March 08, 2025

As repeat customers of Papillon, having previously enjoyed a Grand Canyon tour, we were thrilled to take another flight, during our recent visit to Las Vegas. Our pilot, Nate, was exceptional! His lively and engaging personality made the ride along the Las Vegas Strip incredibly fun, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We had an unforgettable evening, and it's a memory we’ll treasure for years to come.

"Helicopter, boat, skywalk, Guano Point, Grand Canyon"

Reviewed February 10, 2025

We had an amazing trip. From pick up at our hotel on the strip to drop off 7 hours later it was all top notch. Nothing felt rushed and there was no waiting around either. The weigh in part at check in is extremely subtle, very much appreciated. Our pilot was so knowledgable with lots of details on the area we flew over without being overwhelming. The music in the helicopter was great too, a lot of fun. Brilliant views from any seat. Incredible scenery. We stopped on the canyon floor to take a boat trip, another wonderful experience. We were the only guests on the pontoon which felt like a total treat. The guide was again very knowledgeable without being intrusive and took photos on our phones for us. We then got in another helicopter to go to the skywalk experience where a guide from Papillon escorted us to our personal photographer. They took several posed photos before leaving us with our guide who escorted us around the walk and back to the bus area for us to go on to Guano Point. These are hop on hop off buses operating every few minutes (15/20 maybe?). The enjoyed this part more than the Skywalk area, such magnificent scenery and a nice little walk. You could go further and scramble across the rocks if you wanted to but that was a bit beyond our comfort level. There was also another stop on the bus to go to the ziplines but we didn't go any further. We then went back to the terminal to meet our original group and fly back to Boulder City airport and take the shuttle back to the strip. A wonderful experience! The family in our group were so much fun, they really enhanced our experience too- no need to feel worried about sharing a ride with strangers. It's not a cheap experience but definitely a memorable one.

We mistakenly Booked the wrong date For a flight of 4.Per The young lady I spoke to on the phone said to send them a email. And I was very surprised To get a call the next day. They did not have to do anything for us as the mistake was mine, However They did offer to take us on the night flight Just not the neon part Which was already booked up. I completely understood that Very grateful That they did anything at all ,which they did not have to do.

"Liars"

Reviewed January 20, 2025

I booked a helicopter tour from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam and over the strip 22 days in advance. while booking they ask you for your weight as they need to balance the helicopter. once I arrived for my tour we were informed that I entered my party of 2 weight incorrectly and they were overweight on the helicopter and unable to balance the flight they subsequently canceled our flight. I informed them that I absolutely entered the weight correctly as I made sure to weigh myself and the other person in my party did the same. They were insistent on it being my fault. They did offer a refund reluctantly, and after contacting Vegas.com, where I booked the tour and after doing some investigating, we found that I did give them the correct weight and that they lied to me and overbooked the tour and rather than canceling the other party of four they canceled my party of two. absolute incompetence and extremely poor customer service.

"Brilliant experience"

Reviewed January 19, 2025

We flew with Papillon from Grand Canyon West Airport into the Grand Canyon, then took a boat tour on the Colorado River and then flew back. We also bought access to the West Rim viewpoints through them, alongside the Skywalk tickets and lunch. The whole experience was seamless and a highlight of our trip. We forgot about the time zone change between Nevada and Arizona, but the team were very accommodating. The pilots didn't say anything, but the guide in the Canyon was brilliant. We enjoyed the included lunch overlooking the Canyon. The Skywalk was very busy and the shuttle bus operation within Grand Canyon West not particularly smooth, but that isn't a Papillon operation. Overall I would thoroughly recommend them.
