I truly memorable... - I truly memorable experience throughout the day. Started with the helicopter over the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead and the Strip before the river raft along the Colorado River.
Our guides Sam (helicopter) and Kyle (raft) were both very knowledgable about the area and pointed out key sights.
Would highly recommend doing this tour when in Vegas

Top day!!!! - This was a great experience.
Together with my daughter booked this tour.
Helicopter Flight and Raft Tour.
The pilot and boat man and all the drivers were pleasant cheerful people.
Lots of seeing and photos taken and top explanation about the history of Grand Canyon and history of the Hoover then.
Only for us the pick up spot next to hotel was unclear.
Luckily we got a call and were led to the right place.

Just stunning - A once in a lifetime trip - The trip was amazing - the organisation was excellent, and the customer service provided by Five Star Helicopters was first class.
The Helicopter trip, taking in Hoover Dam, The Grand Canyon and ending with the Las Vegas Strip was incredible, and the Rafting down the Colorado was an unforgettable experience also.

Helicopter & Kayaking Grand Canyon - Amazing trip to fly over Las Vegas Hoover Dam & Grand Canyon, understand distance to see all takes time & helicopter is slightly cramped with 6 passengers so can become a bit tedious but once in a live time experience.Kayaking in Grand Canyon with guide Amelia brilliant but was not told swimming was possible in the Colorado river once again a fantastic trip.

Don’t take the option of ‘emerald cave’ - The overall tour was great but the ‘emerald cave’ which you have to queue for over an hour to get in to, was so disappointing. To call it a cave is a joke, it’s an alcove at best and the have to queue for such an underwhelming experience was ridiculous, we could have had an hours more kayaking down the river - which our guide told us was way nicer to look at beyond the point we visited.

Torture in an engine boat 3 hours - The helicopter experience was great, but hoover dam “rafiting” was a disaster in fact is a trip with a engine boat in sun over 3 hours, without roof top! It was a torture!
