Lovers in the air - My partner surprised me with this tour right after proposing on our 5-year anniversary, and it was the perfect surprise experience! It was both of our first times on a helicopter and Skylar was extremely helpful in setting everything up over the phone. Tali was very friendly upon our arrival and made sure we were good to go. Steve was our incredible pilot and tour guide. He even played us some tunes to set the mood in the canyon! When the weather turned for the worse on the day we were scheduled for our tours, they were very accommodating in changing our reservation to the day after, which ended up being an unbelievable day to fly. Thanks, Apex Air!

UNBELIEVABLE-Steve and Tally were the best - Unbelievable. I have done a list full off amazing things and this is absolutely at the top. The staff was amazing, the pilot, Steve was second to none. The experience was downright spiritual in nature. The views of the red rock formations and the wilderness were unimaginable. Pictures can't begin to describe.

Our first helicopter flight - It was an incredible experience. Our first time flying in a helicopter. From the very moment Tali greeted us as we entered their airport office we felt welcomed and reassured this was going to be a memorable experience. After a few minutes we were taken by bus out to the airstrip where the helicopter was waiting. We met Steve, a former military pilot, and were helped into the helicopter. A few instructions were given and off we went. I was surprised by the smooth takeoff, very different than I expected. In fact, much less jarring than pretty much any rollercoaster I had ever experienced. It felt like we were floating at points and then soaring like a bird at other times. It was a once in a lifetime experience. For 30 minutes we enjoyed perspectives of Sedona and surrounding areas that very few people have seen. The canyons especially were exhilarating. I should mention my wife was pretty anxious about flying in a helicopter but our pilot, Steve, was extremely reassuring and responsive to her questions throughout the flight and made her comfortable. We were asked at the end of the flight if we would ever do it again, to which my wife and I replied ABSOLUTELY!

Fun Helicopter Tour - Our helicopter ride with Steve as our pilot was fantastic. He pointed out key focal points and known rock formations. Banking right and left through the area really added a dimension of fun.

A tour NOT to be missed! - The tour was one of the best I have been on. The pilot was very knowledgable and funny. The staff were friendly, gave information of surrounding area. Next time I will take a longer tour. The views of places I would never hike to were stunning and we saw a lot of ancient dwellings of 4,000 to 5,000 years old.

Birds Eye View - Steve and Conor were fabulous. Conor worked with us to reschedule after weather canceled our original flight. Steve our pilot was excellent. The birds eye view of the red rocks are breath taking especially after the snowfall. Great flight overall! I would recommend this and I would do it again. Steve and Conor were great to work with.
