Arizona Helicopter Adventures

I still hate this company for lack of professionalism, timeliness, and ethics…

Superb experience. We wanted to fly right away. And they scrambled to find out a way to get up in the air. Which we were able to do. I was happy they was able to do that. Usually we’d be told we would have to come another day because the were booked. The instructor was nice he was very informative and once on a chopper out pilot was Bob, who was nice and also gave us a good idea of things happening around the different places we flew over. Great guide. I can’t imagine how many times he would say that to the other customers. So these guys were great! It made our experience like no other! Thanks guys!

These people don’t know how to run a business! Been trying to schedule a tour since NOVEMBER. Every time I’ve called there’s no answer. I’ve left messages and they never get back to me. I finally called Groupon and they said that Arizona Helicopter Adventures is no longer honoring the promotion. Businesses really shouldn’t post deals they aren’t willing to follow through with. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. I should say nonexistent customer service since I was unable to speak to anyone from AHA.

If I could give a negative star, I would. BEWARE: they are closed! I purchased a Groupon for a helicopter ride for two from AHA as a gift. I called three weeks in advance and spoke with an employee who took all of my information. He even called me a few days later to reschedule because of a pilot shortage that day. I drove three hours to get to Sedona on our specified date and time only to show up to a building that had no one inside. The helicopter company next door said AHA had been closed for weeks! So they knew full well that they would be shut down by the time we got there but took the time to schedule a flight and had me drive all the way down there. Unbelievable. What a horrible way to run a business. Booo to whoever owns this pos.

This was an amazing tour! Chris our pilot was friendly very knowledgeable.
Try to sit in the front seat. It is great.
Ohh can’t forget the ground staff for their safety demonstration and care.

This was an amazing experience! I’d highly recommend it. The staff were all super friendly and made the trip so enjoyable. The ride was much smoother than I expected and safety was definitely the staff’s top priority. The views of sedona were spectacular! Chris… our pilot… was awesome.

What a great way to see Sedona! Very friendly, professional staff. They keep you informed and comfortable the entire way through. This was my second time up in a helicopter but my friend had never been on one and was quite nervous… he had the best time. If you’re thinking of taking a helicopter tour in Sedona, Arizona Helicopter Adventures is the way to go!

The BEST way to see Sedona!!! The pilot (Chris) was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, friendly as all get out and handled the helicopter with confidence. This was my first time in a helicopter and I was admittedly anxious about sitting in one without a door to keep me in, but after the first 5 minutes I was fairly comfortable releasing my death grip on my chair to take pictures. The desk staff was wonderfully friendly and helpful as well. I would recommend this trip to EVERYONE who visits Sedona! A definite must!

I recommend this tour as a must do, it was a very windy day but the pilot had full control did an awesome job very good tour, completely different perspective and very informational.

This was amazing! The people are super friendly and made the experience so great! Everyone should do this at least once!

Loved this helicopter ride! Really smooth ride, just enough info about the area and a good amount of time just to enjoy the scenery. Can’t believe how quickly 15 minutes flies by!
The pilot and ground crew were really friendly and engaging and helped to make our ride enjoyable and comfortable. We felt like we were out with friends and also enjoyed the strangers who were assigned to be our riding companions. The view from the helicopter is AMAZING! Highly recommend!

Sedona is so gorgeous, but unless you do a lot of hiking and driving you really can’t see it all. Some of the awesomeness just isn’t even available by road. If you are looking for something that you’ll never forget, then I totally recommend Arizona Helicoptor Adventures. And pay the little bit extra to get the full tour of both the ruins and the postcard rocks.
The pilot was really knowledgeable and did a great job telling us what we were seeing as we flew between the large red rocks. I only have two complaints which prevent me from giving this a full 5 stars. I’d signed up for the helicopter ride in hopes of getting great photographs, but I was assigned a middle seat. I still got some decent photos, but it was a much greater challenge. My other complaint is that when we flew, the beginning of October, the doors were put back on the helicopter (during better weather they fly with them off so as to not obstruct the view). Apparently this was because it would be too cold, but I would have happily been a little cold to be able to take in that view without obstruction and streaky windows. Luckily one window was open … I had to really reach toward that window but got some shots I am really happy with.
All that said, the experience was amazing, and I’d highly recommend if you are in Sedona that you consider taking a helicopter ride with Arizona Helicopter adventures.

Successful adventure! Enjoyed the ride, friendly pilot, and didn’t crash.
My first time in a helicopter and it was great. Very smooth ride. Also, the pilot was extremely informative and personable. Only down side is, we didn’t get to fly with doors off due to weather conditions. Oh well, safety first I guess.
Of course the ride seemed short, not because it was rushed, but because the pilot kept us entertained and educated the whole time.
Definitely using this company again my next visit.

Had a fantastic 20 minute red rock flight with Rob at the helm. With the doors off and sitting at the edge of the seat looking straight down, it was a sight and experience I will never forget.
Their office/​support staff were also very pleasant and professional.
I would recommend them to anyone and will fly with them again.

One Word: Amazing!!! I took my girlfriend for a helicopter ride for her birthday and it’s a day we will both remember for a lifetime! Floyd (our pilot) was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the area and made us all feel very safe. The views were stunning! This is something everyone must do, and this is the only company to do it with!

I’ve flown in a helicopter over 60 times so I was not new to the experience but our pilot Jonathan was great. He made us feel at ease and was a great tour guide. We did not have the doors off because it was a bit cold but the experince was still great.
The aerial views of Sedona are breathtaking and I’m looking forward to doing it agan soon.
I did mention I’d like to bring family up to let them experience the ride but think since it will be their first time in a chopper they would probably like the doors on. I was told that would not be possible because the company is known for their doors off tours, no exceptions.
I found that to be a bit odd, especially if I would bring enough people to fill the chopper and they would really prefer the doors on to ease their fears a bit more. I could understand if we would be with others but if it’s going to be a group of people who know each other and all agreed to have the doors on to east fears on the first go around why it was an issue, but that’s they’re right to operate as they please.
That being said, for an experienced person you’lll have a blast. If you are flying for the first time going up with no doors may scare you a lot and make the experience not as enjoyable.
If you do go up ask for Jonathan. He is awesome and a very funny guy.

Definitely well worth your time and money! We took the Ancient Ruins tour with Brad as the pilot. Never had been up in a helicopter before, so I was somewhat apprehensive but immediately felt comfortable and safe. The sights were incredible, even including an elk, and the ruins were amazing.
Don’t miss this adventure.

We found this one on Unilocal and thought we give it a shot.
Awesome — you must book the extended tour it worth the few extra bucks. don’t cut yourself short. I had the co-​pilot seat so I had optimal views… unfortunately it was winter time (2 weeks ago) and the doors were on.
About 35−40min of pure joy flying thru mountains, sheer cliffs, so close you knew you could almost touch them… I took several videos. Magnificent landscape, we had clear blue skies, saw people rock climbing as we flew close by, no worries — not close enough to knock’m off the mountain… lol but close enough —
Result: If you have a few bucks ($ 100.- plus), a few hours left — scrap your expensive dinner you had planned and go on a ride for a lifetime to remember.
The pilot was great, easy going and very knowledgeable. If we should come back here we’ll be back here for sure!!!
It’s a must do and should be on your bucket — list!!!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Thanks to Groupon, and a too-​good-​to-​pass-​up-​deal, I took my friend visiting in town up to Sedona and on this unforgettable ride! Like another reviewer, we had «good timing», and were upgraded to a better (longer) tour. The staff was great, both on the ground and in the air. Don, our pilot, was very knowledgeable about the area and all the attractions, but without being preachy or a «knowitall». They remove the doors from the helicopters in the summer, so that provided an extra dose of excitement and much better views than had we been trying to take pictures through a window. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and I would definitely take other visitors to Phoenix up there for a tour!

Surely the Grand Canyon is well advertised and yes it was pretty amazing when I was there. But you want to be that not-​following-​the-​trend dude? Check out Sedona and Arizona Helicopter Adventures.
Honestly without Groupon (oops sry for the ads lol), I would’ve not known there is such place called Sedona, it has comparably small scale but more delicate view compare to the GCNP, which also happened to be on our way from Williams to Phoenix. Too perfect, oh wait…
My mother and I purchased the Groupon online for this helicopter tour (which, by the way, neither of us had ever experienced helicopter). Got reservation done for the day before memorial day, and was driving to the Sedona airport. Then realized the traffic was super jammed and we were for certain going to be late, and then called the tour place and found out they were not going to fly because of the wind.
I was pretty annoyed that they didn’t call in advance to notify me but still decided to drive 2 hours back to Sedona from Phoenix not to give up that $ 164, and made an illegal U-​turn to get out of that pathetic traffic jam.
But, it was so TOTALLY worthing it.
We this time was able to arrive on time. Found out the staff were superb! Very friendly and professional, and fun to talk to. And, «with the right timing», we got an upgrade ;). Rode a golf tram with other two folks to the helicopter where it was landed. Got picture taken (yep like typical tourists/​people who’ve never tried something, in our case, helicopter), seat belt fastened, off we go.
Astonishing view. Definitely different from what you can see on the ground (don’t get me wrong they were still pretty amazing). The pilot introduced different viewpoints. And lots of them had cheesy names (Cute, but still… really? How’s that little hill looks like Snoopy sleeping on the dog house?! I hope those name ain’t official).
The helicopter did shake a bit. My mother claimed that the pilot did it on purpose.
And also the coolest thing ever! The group after us included an old lady who was having her 91^st bday that day. And her daughter was taking her on the tour! How exciting! Hang-​on Grandma and happy birthday: D (I told mom that I’m gonna take her over again as a price for her live till her 91^st year)!
What a fun tour! And it was safe for sure, you know that when you see emotional bag by the jet seats. I am un-​certain about the weight limit which you would definitely need to contact them about it. Also tips, since there are multiple flight tour business in that area, make sure you take a right and drive till you see a brown glassy house. Unfortunately they don’t have sign (didn’t see one).
