In Vegas and want to make the most of your time here?
How does knocking the Grand Canyon off your bucket list sound?
Now what if we told you that you could do that in 4 hours or less?
Well you absolutely can
Here's how
Good morning
Up bright and early ready to take in some sights of the Grand Canyon
Oh yeah it's gonna be a good one
Alright it's about 8 a.m.
Just waiting for the shuttle to come pick us up
and take us to the Maverick terminal where the adventure will begin
Today's adventure will take us on a helicopter flight over to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon
This experience is really special because we're going to be going to the bottom of the Grand Canyon
at an exclusive Maverick Helicopter landing site where
no one else gets access to it
It's just us so
It's gonna be a good day
Oh there's our shuttle now
Let's go
We have made it out here to the bottom of the West Rim of the Grand Canyon
We're at Maverick Helicopters exclusive landing site
Oh my god it is such a beautiful day
Morning is a really great time to come
There's a little bit of mist
It's not too hot not too cold
Springtime is definitely a lovely time to be here
You take a look around as you can see there are no roads
No way to get here other then
by helicopter
EC130 to be exact to super safe super quiet
Eco-friendly, really roomy, great views all that jazz
The terrain out here is definitely kind of rocky so it is really recommended to wear
a sturdy sole and close toed shoes
You don't have to go too intense
Honestly, you don't need to wear like hardcore hiking boots or anything like that
Just wear something that you are comfortable in that you can move around in that you can get in and out of the
helicopter in
Wow
Another observation that you might have
There are no restrooms out here
That's right
Be sure to take care of that prior to departure
It's always a good idea
otherwise, there's also like a his-and-her cacti you know
Down here you get a really up-close and personal view of the mighty
Colorado River the river that is largely responsible for the formation of this Canyon
Look at that can you imagine?
How long that must have taken?
Ooh we got the bubbly
Thank you
All right pro tip from pilot Joe
You have some champagne and you have some orange juice on your flights
What does that make?
Mimosa
Right
Wait, what's the what part mimosa or orange juice
I think you have the ratios backwards but
I think I do but you know what, this is okay this works too
Cheers
Hey what's up guys this is Pilot Joe
How's it going
Yup
He is one of our lovely pilots here at Maverick Helicopters
How long have you been flying for
About six years
What can you tell us about Maverick's pilot standards and safety standards in comparison to other places?
Maverick definitely has the best training as well as the best type of
maintenance, so it really makes me as a pilot being on the fly every day on a helicopter that I know is safe
That's a really really good feeling to have that
Nice that is a good feeling
What can you say about our
EC130 helicopters and you know, how does that stand out above the rest of them
The EC130 is pretty much a helicopter
That was specifically designed to do tours
So it has a great view in every seat that you sit in
Right true
So if we're coming out to an area like this
It just makes it a lot easier for everyone to get a good view people aren't fighting over the seats
So that's really good for us
So we don't have to kind of, you know gamble with who gets in the front
yeah yeah no it's true
You gotta check it out for yourself and you'll find out real quick that there is not a bad seat in the house
You're awesome
Thank you so much
Yeah not a problem
And we're back it is
11:40
left on the shuttle at around 8:15 this morning flight was at 9:00 a.m so
I would say that we did a pretty darn good job
That is how you go from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon in less than four hours
With Maverick Helicopters
That's how
It's really perfect because we still have the entire day left
The experience we went on just now is called the Wind Dancer
If you were to drive to the Grand Canyon to the West Rim
at least it would take you about two and a half hours
Most bus tours take 12 to 15 hours to go there and back so
You could really just get up and go to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas
And be back by lunch
This is a really perfect option for those who are looking to pack in as much in their Las Vegas vacation as possible
Especially if you are only here for a short amount of time
