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 views, awesome people - Seeing Zion from the sky was an amazing experience. Our pilot was very knowledge about the area and told us about all the amazing land forms we were seeing. The aircraft and facilities were very clean and the staff was very professional.

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.

From the helicopter you 'feel' the size of the terrain - Very nice views. A little short on fight time. A 20 minute tour is 15 minutes in the air... The 'tour' starts when the engine starts and the 'tour' is over when the engine is turned off. FAA requirements take about 3-5 minutes after the engine is started before you take off. And another 1-2 minutes when you land before the engine is shut off... so 20 minutes of engine run time; 15 minutes in the air. BUT those 15 minutes, just wonderful. You see things that you can not reasonable get to. From the helicopter you see right in front of you the sheer size of the terrain. And you know you can't walk it, you can't drive to it, but you are seeing areas of earth that for the most part can only be visited by flying.

Excellent way to get a beautiful view of the Zion area. - The activity was easy to book. The helicopter site was an easy drive from Springdale. The facility staff were friendly & professional as was our pilot.

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.

Horrible experience - We visit with my wife Zion staying two nights to spend a full day in the Park. Our plan was to spend the morning in the Park and in the afternoon take 55 Mile Zion/ Canaan Cliffs Tour. From 9 a.m. in the morning of May 9, time their office is supposed to open, we started calling to make a reservation, we called till 9.30 a.m. at least 4 times. As we could not leave a message because their box was not set we ask the Assistant Manager from the Best Western for help, he called without success. At that point we left to the Park. They said they called us, but we did not have reception once in the Park. We came back to the hotel after lunch and called, this time a female answer and at 3.26 p.m. we got an e-mail that confirmed our tour for 4.30 for what we paid $ 549 with our credit card on the phone. We drove the ~ 15 miles from our hotel to their place. When we arrived the same female told us that our tour was cancel because 5 minutes before the other two persons that were suppose to come cancel their trip! So if we want a tour we could take a private one but that would be much more expensive or maybe join another group, if they would accept us to do a different tour that we were not at all interest at all, and also we would need to pay more! 1) In their conditions it says: CANCELLATION & NO SHOWS: 48 hours cancellation notice of the applicable tour day/date/time is required for Zion, Zion-Bryce and Lake Powell helicopter tours. Not showing up for your tour, or tours canceled within 48 hours of the applicable tour day/date/time will result in a 100% cancellation fee of the applicable retail price. If that was the case they had enough to cover the gas from us plus the other cancellation. But independent of it there are no justification for that behavior. If we would be cancel we would lost our $. But the cancellation, which cost us waisting half a day in the park, driving back and for to the hotel, they solve by saying we are sorry. We are 81 and 72 years old and had travel all around the world, and in very few opportunities we found such lack of responsability. I like to add that at the end a male, who arrived from a tour at the time we did, try to justify their attitude saying that they tried to get other people but they could not. A serious enterprise does not treat customers the way they treated us. We conserve all the information I mention.
