Anniversary helicopter ride - Kaitlyn had a very enthusiastic upbeat aura about her, which was extremely pleasant. Andy was extremely knowledgeable and personable. And the view, of course, speaks for itself

Definitely a Must Do! - Peter was amazing. Very informative about the area. We took the 30 Mile North Shore tour and it was so neat. For someone that was scared to go at first, my wife was smiling and taking pictures. He made sure we were doing good and gave us some recommendations for supper, etc. Would definitely do again and do the longer tour.

Smooth and funny - Riding instructor was able to keep conversation and understood that one of the two passengers he had we nervous about flying. Take off and landing were both very smooth and seamless. The staff were excellent with us the whole way. I strongly recommend them especially if this is a first time helicopter experience!!

Celebrate Life - This trip was to celebrate both my 70th birthday and my husband's improved health. We loved everything about it! The ground crew was helpful and informative. We learned about pilot John's experience so felt we were in good hands. The views were spectacular. Pilot John was also kind enough to fly over our farmstead so we could capture some nice aerial shots. Awesome trip!!! Next time would like to take the 60 mile tour. Thanks for the memories!!!

Worth it to see Lake Superior from the sky - I’ve done two helicopter rides with Lake Superior Helicopters—one in July and one in October 2021. I really loved the experience and loved the views of Lake Superior from the air. The pilots both times were friendly, knowledgeable and flew with skill. I appreciated hearing the history of the Lake and various landmarks.

Birthday present - I bought this for a birthday present for my dad to go with my mom. They loved it! They sent pictures to me after and it was so beautiful! They talked very highly of the entire experience. Thank you to the whole team at Lake Superior Helicopters for giving my parents an amazing tour
