The only way to really see all of the GC. This is an extremely professional and most importantly safe operation. The Helicopters are pretty new Eurocopters specifically adapted for the purpose of. Safety is of course top of their list our pilot Paul was skilful, knowledgeable and made the trip really interesting and informative. Cannot speak highly enough of the operation and its staff.

Magnificent and a lifetime experience. Chris was the best pilot and made everyone feel safe. The parts of the flight into the GC from the National Forest and the climb at the North Rim were fantastic.
