Boldt Castle view tour - A fantastic experience overall from the moment we were greeted at reception. The heli tour was smooth and the views were spectacular. Our pilot pointed out all of the highlights and we felt at ease and safe at all times. 20 minutes went by so fast. Well worth the $

A+ Tour & Experience - Highly Recommended - Our experience from start to finish was absolutely tremendous!
From the moment we walked into the small terminal and we were welcomed by and energetic greeting from the receptionist, Kathy, through to meeting pilots Martine and George and wonderful preflight discussions, to be capped off by a wonderful tour with George was worth every penny!
Thank you all for making our special day very memorable.
Sincerely,
Shane & Rachael

Anniversary - It was very interesting and safe. I was concerned as I had never been in a helicopter before, but it didn't shake or anything that I expected.
