From being picked up by Joe our transfer to the airport guide to Marcus our pilot to Cowboy Dave our host at the ranch it was great they were so informative and great fun. Would highly recommend
Great trip, would highly recommend, brilliant from start to finish ! All the people involved from our pickup driver to the helicopter pilot to the cowboys at the ranch were fantastic!
Great experience from being picked up at the hotel to the getting on the helicopter, absolutely brilliant ! Marco, our pilot was very friendly and informative, The ranch was also fantastic, listening to stories from cowboy Dave and him playing his guitar and singing, would highly recommend this trip!
Absolutely amazing tour, excellent customer service. Would highly recommend even if you are nervous of flying in a helicopter. Marcus the pilot made everyone feel at ease and had a great sense of humour. The ranch was a lovely addition to the tour with good company and delicious lunch. There were optional activities if you wished to do so. Overall a top bucket list experience for anyone wanting to see the Grand Canyon and the Las Vegas strip from the air.
Fantastic tour!!! It may seem like a lot of money but these guys made it well worth it. Our pilot Marcus was excellent and the views were incredible!!! Then on to the ranch where they made us feel right at home. We chose to do the gun range and it was great fun!!! Best helicopter tour around 🚁
Amazing experience with 5 star service from beginning to end. Credit to our pilot, Marcus, who made the trip fun and interesting with his local knowledge and ‘dad jokes’! We would highly recommend this trip!
An unforgettable adventure! Our pilot, Marcus, is a true professional who did everything possible to make this trip memorable for a lifetime. Thank you to the entire team for the exceptional service and attention to every guest! Also, the ribs for lunch were absolutely delicious!
What an experience!!!! Absolutely fantastic. We did the helicopter flight to the grand canyon and to the ranch for lunch and horse riding. Our pilot was great, chatty an full off facts and information. At the ranch we had lunch and were treated by casey who sang songs and told us history an stories about the ranch and the area. The horse riding was just amazing, around the ranch. Our two cowboys where "John and justin". Who were so patient and all round nice guys. It was fantastic and worth every cent. Highly recommend. 5 stars
One of the best experiences we’ve had by far. Pilot was wonderful (Marcus), knowledgeable and very courteous…
This was amazing tour. The Marcus our Pilot was wonderfull. Best Helicopter tour I have ever did. The wagon ride was great and taking with Cowboy Dave was wonderful.
What can I say! Never flown in a helicopter and I was blown away! Right from the start JOE picked us up, on time at our hotel in a spotless Mercedes coach and gave us a guided tour en route to the heliport. Once there we were introduced to the crew/staff and given a very comprehensive safety briefing and an insight to the tour. Our pilot was Marcus Pruitt a very professional ex USMC veteran - who smoothly and confidently flew us via Lake Meade, the Hoover Dam to our Western Ranch option. The guys ( and gals) at the ranch were fantastic and we were treated to a Cowboy lunch of Ribs and Burgers which we fab - washed down by the best mountain stream water you have ever had - no additives! After this we had chosen to go on a horse trek experience- what an experience! The cowboys Colson and Justin were fantastic with us all - I hadn’t been on a horse for years and my experience was less than a novice, they set us all up with beautiful horses who knew how to treat this roomie and Luna ( my horse) kept me safe🙏🏻 The whole experience was amazing - I’ve e never done anything like this before - the scenery the whole tour was outstanding and highly recommended- A huge thanks to everyone involved for providing a first class tour and excellent customer service!🙏🏻
Great trip from pick up to drop off !!!! Very pleased with amazing views and explanations of everything, learnt a lot
Wow! I cannot say enough about how much we loved this tour. We had a great day, made even better by our pilots professionalism and commitment to safety that made seeing the Grand Canyon by helicopter the safest part of our day. That was followed by experiencing the best of the west with songs, BBQ and stories on an historic ranch then going on peaceful horseback trail ride surrounded by beautiful. Next time we will stay overnight so that we can see even more.
Great experience, from start to finish. Joe is full of information on the transportation in. Flight is an hour each way and is amazing. The ranch is cool, we did the shooting and that was exceptionally well done. All in all, well worth the money. 5 star from 5 star.
Such a cool experience for our family ! The pilot went above and beyond and everyone on the ranch were so accommodating. Would highly recommend. Being a local and seeing everything from above was even better.
This was SO MUCH FUN! It is a great way to see the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, Las Vegas and the area. Our pilot was Eddie Todaro - fun & knowledgeable about the area! Our trip included a stop at the Grand Canyon Western Ranch which was a cherry on top. Highly recommended 👍🤠
The experience was excellent in every way. The pilot and all staff were very polite and helpful, the experiences were all perfect and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vegas.
Overall an enjoyable time was had.
I had an amazing experience doing this trip of a lifetime, I went on my own as my companions didn’t want to go. I booked the horse riding at the ranch at the time of booking and I’m so glad I did. 5 star helicopters kept in touch by wattsapp and telephone to ensure I knew the instructions for pickup etc. I could not fault them, Eddie was out pilot, he was fabulous and very knowledgeable. When at the ranch the staff were great. The horses were really well looked after, I rode Brandy who was great! Food was also good, I wish I’d purchased a cowboy hat so I looked the part when I had my photos taken with the real cowboys. I would recommend this trip!
Trip not guaranteed to happen and they have no contingency plan if you’re not flexible on the days … it was disappointing to say the least (as it was my birthday celebration desire) … i wish they had an alternative to cancelling…
Mad Dog made our trip such fun and very memorable, such a fabulous character with an amazing knowledge to keep us entertained. Would highly recommend the trip!
I have just returned to the UK and had to write a review, I would highly recommend this trip. It was very well organised from the start with pickup from our hotel, ending with return to our hotel. Safety was paramount and Marcus our pilot put us at ease also explaining interesting facts throughout the flight. The ranch visit was fantastic, an excellent meal serenaded by Cowboy Dave, he sang ‘Country Roads’ for me, my husband passed away last year, it was one of his favourite songs and played at his funeral, I felt he was with me. There were options to horse ride or take a wagon ride which we regret not doing now but it was lovely to walk around the ranch and meet the horses. We took our little friend Sweep along, a standing family joke and Marcus was so kind to allow a photo of him in the cockpit, it made our day! This trip was on my bucket list in retirement with my husband but sadly that was not to be but I did it for both of us. Thank you so much 5 Star helicopters.
The helicopter flight was awesome. The pilot was very skilled. The tour was one a a kind. I will return to experience it again.
Great experience. Staff was friendly and timely; pilot was professional and very knowledgeable. Well worth it!!
It was fantastic from start to finish the pick up was early the pilot Marcus was brilliant informative and funny the horse riding was awesome
The helicopter flight and views of the Grand Canyon, Hoover dam, Lake Meade, Las Vegas, ect were amazing! The pilot was great also. The ranch, lunch, horseback riding and staff were very pleasant also, including Arizona Casey the singer.
The experience was phenomenal. The pilot was excellent. Its a must do. The pictures we took will be remembered forever.
Fantastic time, the pilot luke was excellent, very knowledgeable and made everybody welcome.. 5 star experience 👌
My first helicopter ride and I highly recommend. Great way to see Grand Canyon when you don’t have a lot of time to travel. A little pricey but worth. I enjoyed Arizona Casey at the Ranch. Personalized marinade at lunch was a nice touch. Ranch is not fancy but real to life and Outlaw history is fun.
The western ranch with horseback riding and lunch was an incredible experience. The helicopter ride was horrible for my husband and I due to the company NOT considering shoulder width of its passengers. For the entire flight tour we had to sit twisted sideways with only enough room to have one of our shoulder on the seat! It was a miserable experience!!! It is not what we expected and would NOT recommend the flight to anyone unless they purchased TWO seats! . However the ranch is well worth driving out to during the day. They even have cabin rentals for overnight stays!
Wow , Lucas the pilot was excellent as was the guy who picked us up from the hotel , the lady checking us in , the crew at the ranch and of course Dave the cowboy, the best experience ever and can’t fault it at all , thank you so much
The most fantastic experience ever, for anyone not sure about travelling by helicopter DO IT! Lucys our pilot was amazing, so glad I chose 5 star helicopters, we also did the horseback ride which was well worth it!
Adam did an amazing job with in-flight info. The Ranch was amazing and rustic. We had the best instructor at the shooting range and would definitely recommend it.
Helicopter ride to and from the Grand Canyon with an amazing pilot (Lucas) who kept the bird calm on an exceptionally windy day, narrated the tour with jokes, and kept all of us engaged. Horseback riding through a gorgeous desert trail on healthy, easy to ride horses. Guides, drivers, and staff throughout were exceptional.
What a fabulous experience. Flying in the helicopter over the grand canyon was amazing. The pilot was fabulous and very knowledgeable. The BBQ and horse riding was so good too. Thankyou to all of the staff
Amazing experience flying over Grand Canyon then over Vegas strip on our way back. Spent a couple of hours at Diamond cowboy ranch. All staff involved were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this experience if visiting Vegas
The helicopter ride was amazing but the ranch was dissappointing. Inless you want to horse bach ride or shoot, at an additional fee there is nothing to do. The lunch was cold. Should have samed the money and just did helicopter ride.
Awesome experience, Awesome pilot.
From the start of the day, being picked up and transferred to the office, check in, and then boarding with Andrew, or pilot for the day, this was an outstanding experience. We took in the Hoover dam and West Rim of the Canyon, before heading to the ranch. The couple of hours were great fun. We paid to do the fun range and loved every minute. Fantastic service from everyone at the ranch and with 5 star helicopters.
Trip was fantastic, from the helicopter Tour to the ranch everything was great and would highly recommend
There’s a reason this gets the rave reviews it does! Our pilot Christina was great, very knowledgeable and informative. The ranch was amazing having lunch, we hadn’t booked the horse riding or shooting. But when we got there booked onto the shooting, again, absolutely fantastic! Would highly recommend. Bucket list stuff! It’s not cheap but it’s worth every penny. Wayne & Kim 1/3/26
Absolutely fantastic, from start to finish, a must do!!!! Everyone was so friendly, Cowboy Dave was great, sang and played guiter while we had a lovely lunch. Decided to try the shooting whilst there and Nate was fantastic, very patient and we felt very safe. Helicopter pilot was friendly and knowledgeable. A really authentic experience and fantastic day!! 5*
This is a great trip. Pick up was on time and everything is run like clockwork Would definitely recommend
Helicopter trips, look no further than 5 star. As far as I am aware none of the other Helicopter tour companies offer hotel pickup any longer so your in good hands right from the start rather than having to find your own way to the heliport. Once there everyone is very professional in getting you booked in and prepared to start your experience. We booked the grand canyon, with cowboy ranch and horse riding tour and can honestly say our pilot Micheal (Mad Dog) Davies don't let the name deter anyone, went far and above our expectations in terms of keeping us informed of everything we could see on our journey to the cowboy ranch passing over Hoover dam and the grand canyon. Arriving at the ranch we were treated to a BBQ lunch before heading off on a 1hr horesback ride. Me and my Wife cannot recommend this companies professionalism enough 10/10.
Everything was perfect! Sam was a great pilot and narrator and the ranch was surprisingly fun!
We had a wonderful experience with our pilot, Mad Dog, and our drivers, George and Joel. We opted for the horseback ride and lunch at the ranch. And we are very happy that we did. Best BBQ ribs that we’ve had.
Young girl was the pilot and she was great. She knew all the little things about the area we where fling over. Great ride thru the Grand canyon.
Amazing experience! I live in the UK, so I was able to contact the Tour company directly via Whatsapp and arrange a pick up time in and place in Las Vegas. I opted for the Ranch Landing which included lunch and was also sent the menu. On the day, they collected me in their seated taxi van directly from the hotel. i was on my own, but everyone was friendly and I made a friend who was also travelling solo. On arrival at the airport, they weighed us and went through the safety procedure. There were 6 people to the helicopter and everyone was distributed by weight. There are individual seat belts and headphones with mics. The best view is obviously at the front, but i was positioned next to the window which was great. We flew from Las Vegas over the Hoover Damn then onto the West Rim of the Grand Canyon where the helicopter dipped and took us through the canyon. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable explaining the history and geography of the region with added anecdotes! There was a choice of a Gun Range experience or a Horse Trail experience at an additional cost so I opted to stay at the ranch which I was free to explore. The host was a singing cowboy who had taken the time to compose songs which referenced each of us! The food was freshly cooked and delicious! Coffee, hot chocolate and water were free, but alcohol incurred an additional fee. We were then taken back by the same pilot in the same order in the helicopter via a slightly different route. It was just before sunset so we circled Vegas as the many lights of the attractions beneath lit up the city. We were then dropped off at our individual hotels. The trip was approx 5 hours door to door. It was worth every penny and I'd definitely love to do it again!
Had a totally fantastic experience from start to finish. Easy check in, excellent pilot who went through the details and gave a running commentary on the flight. Ranch people were so friendly and obliging including the entertainment and lunch ( would definitely suggest the Bison Burger ). Overall a great adventure and a memorable one .
Fun trip beautiful seeing the canyon from the air. Nice ranch visit. Extras at the ranch to expensive
