Simply fantastic! - We were thrilled with our 55-mile helicopter tour of Zion. Everyone at Zion Helicopter Tours was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Michelle went out of her way to accommodate our schedule, and Jesse was a terrific photographer. Our pilot, Kyle, made sure we had a flawless flight, and gave all five passengers a spectacular view of the terrain that would have been impossible to see by land. We have been on several other helicopter sightseeing rides, and this was by far the best. Worth every penny.

Beautiful scenery and very helpful staff - The staff and pur pilot, Jordan were so much fun and very kind. We took off exactly on time for our flight. Jordan was a great pilot! He gave us the scoop on what we were seeing without overdoing it with a lot of favts. Thus we were able to relax and enjoy the view. This trip was well worth the cost-it was amazing!

An Unforgettable experience - An unforgettable experience. My Wife and I went on the 55 mile ride with a stop at the Butte for a half hour of photos and conversation with our fellow fliers and our pilot Jordan--great guy, pilot, and photographer--thanks for being our photographer and bringing a bottle of champagne.
We highly recommend this trip!

Amazing Family Adventure - I recently had the pleasure of taking my family on a helicopter ride at Zion National Park, and it was an experience we will never forget. The opportunity to view the park's stunning natural beauty from above was breathtaking. We were fortunate to have Jordon as our pilot, who not only ensured our safety but also made the ride even more memorable with his wealth of knowledge about the park.

Fantastic experience!! - Flexibility is key when booking this tour as they need the right number of people and weight to take off. I was fortunate enough to join another group as a solo traveler and was upgraded as a result so it was win win for me but my flight time changed twice. This was a fantastic experience and the pilot was very knowledgeable and polite. There is opportunity for some amazing photography and to see areas of the park most are not able to see either by physical limitations or closed to the public areas.

Really BAD Customer service - The guy at the desk at Zion helicoptor should seek other occupation, we have never met such an unfriendly person working in Services.
The flight and pilot was top quality, and therefore they get the 2 stars.
