I can finally say I have seen the Vegas Strip from ABOVE! This was my first experience with Headout, and it did not disappoint! The booking process was seamless and clear. I booked the day-of and there were no issues. Everything was ready for my party of 3 when we arrived at the site. We all had such a blast! Even one of my friends was nervous to fly, so they sat her right next to the pilot and made her feel comfortable the whole time. I hightly recommend this helicoptor tour for people who want to see Vegas from above!

We made a tour to the Grand Canyon South Rim which combined plane, helicopter and ground services. Everything was excellent and very well organized: the tour was booked by phone by the hotel front desk which took only a few minutes. On the day of the tour everything worked perfectly so that we could really enjoy our visit to the Grand Canyon. Both pilots were excellent and we felt safe all the time.

"The trip along the strip was great, we flew from close to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign along to the Stratosphere tower and back. I especially liked the commentary during the flight."

We were collected from our hotel in a stretch limo and taken to the airport. The tour was so well organised and ran smoothly. Our pilot was great and really knowledgable about the landmarks. The flight itself was amazing, we then landed at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for a champagne breakfast this was a lovely little touch and there was plenty of time for photos before the return flight. The return flight was great and we went over the las vegas strip too! All in all an amazing trip, and recommended to anyone! A must if you're visiting vegas!

This was a fab trip and well worth the extra money. I wouldn't swap this experience for a coach trip. The pilot was brilliant, he had a great sense of humour which made it fun as well. At one point as cheesy as this is, we were all singing Viva Las Vegas. You have headphones on so you can all communicate with each other. Our party got split into two which was fine, i think the maximum one could take was 7. Our flew over the tops of the canyon and the other helicopter stopped for fuel at the bottom. Which although it was only stopping for fuel I'm jealous! We had our kids with us and they both fell asleep as soon as we got over the canyon, couldn't keep them awake. Most expensive nap ever but still worth every penny. The transfers were really simple as well and totally stress free which was nice. They do have a gift shop onsite which would normally be really expensive, but it wasn't which makes a nice change. Would certainly recommend these guys!!!

We took the Strip at night flight which was amazing. The pilot was very witty and gave us a lot of information as well as playing a pre-recorded information tape . Got the greatest sparkling view of the Strip.

We took the 10 minute night flight tour of the strip. The facilities are very comfortable, easy to locate, and have ample parking. The tour is brief but you get a thrilling owl's eye view of the Strip. You are allowed to take video and flash-less pictures.

This was the highlight of our Las Vegas visit. The view from the sky at night is breathtaking! Our pilot was very professional and very friendly. Our Limo driver was fantastic and friendly. A "must do" while in Vegas! 5 star all the way!

It's beyond fantastic, We had such a great time seeing Vegas from the air, gave us a completely different perspective of Vegas. It's a brief heli tour but it's perfect.

I surprised my 4 boys ages 12, 15, 17, 18 with this package. The limo picked them up exactly on time which they thought was the surprise. Of course they loved that, but was waiting was absolutely the "E" ticket ahead. They are still talking about it. If you go to Vegas you HAVE to do this. Great way to propose, get out of trouble trump card, or just romantic. For the boys, well one now wants to become a helicopter pilot, and the other 3 have bragging rights. I didn't go because I wanted them to feel mommy wasn't everywhere. Hey they can't go to a club, it would cost the same amount if they could, so why not give them something they will never forget, just do it.

We had six in the chopper and there was a heap of room.this is a great tour. We flew out to the Grand Canyon and landed at the base for morning tea and bubbles.the scenery is amazing. Although expensive it is well worth the trip. We had a great guide (Brady) full of knowledge and was happy to answer all the questions the kids could throw at him.

The booking process was seamless, check in process was easy and the pilot was great. As we flew over various spots of the canyon we were explained in detail what each one of them was and the significance of them all.

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.

Good evening ! Please remove a doubt from me: I booked for myself and my friend for a year from now, April 20, 2026....but I received two satisfaction surveys for April 20...2025. 5 days ago. Is there an error on your part? or mine within the date indicated during my purchase? And if so, is it possible to arrange this?... I hope I haven't wasted your time :( Thank you in advance, I remain available of course. Very good night to you!

We missed our shuttle the first time around and were able to reschedule without any issues. (So be sure to call in and check to get the exact time you will be picked up from the hotel.) All the staff were very friendly and our pilot David was very entertaining. The plane-tour itself was awesome with incredible views. We would definitely recommend it! :)

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

This was the highlight of our Las Vegas holiday. Everything went as planned, no hitches & even the weather was ideal. We took an early morning flight, and after being picked up at the time specified from our hotel we were taken to our helicopter. We met our knowledgeable pilot, learned so much from him. Fantastic trip!

We took a tour of the Grand Canyon with Papillon during our visit to Las Vegas. We'd never been to the Grand Canyon before, and this was DEFINITELY the way to see it! The pilot was super friendly and explained everything that was happening and what we were seeing, and she had a great sense of humor, made the ride really fun. Got to see Lake Meade and the Hoover Dam from above as well as views of the canyon that we never would have gotten any other way. Wonderful experience!

The whole trip was great especially the flight into the Grand Canyon but the small aeroplane flight from Boulder City to Grand Canyon West was fabulous too as we got to see so much. The pontoon boat at the bottom of the Canyon was brilliant. The whole trip was so worth the money.

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

Very well organised at Boulder airport - lots of interesting info whilst on board
Communication from Head out was a little confusing as pick up point and time was changed but only the person making booking was informed not person going on flight

If you have not seen Las Vegas from a bird's eye view, I would suggest that you go for the Las Vegas Strip extension! The pictures turn out great at sunset

I thought the tickets were a little overpriced but honestly, after the afternoon we had, I would say that everyone NEEDS to book this ticket NOW

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.
