Super flyover! - Great experience! The staff was friendly took photos of us and also paid attention to our luggage. Just in time! (at least one hour before!) be at the meeting point, call the operator briefly. One is then picked up by the shuttle bus. After a briefing and a brief weigh-in, it's already on. Afterwards we return to the meeting point. Highly recommended!

Amazing ride - Incredible unique experience! We arrived well in advance and left early! Very well taken care of! The adorable pilot with whom the flight lasted 20 minutes! Before takeoff we watch an explanatory video! (Remember to take the $45 in cash! And on Sunday there are no buses so arriving by Uber is safer, I recommend it!) I 100% recommend engraved souvenir!

Bad Service, unfriendly staff. - We were told that if we didn't arrive 45 minutes prior to our scheduled flight time, that we would be charged $50 per person and $100 per person if we arrived within less than 30 minutes of our scheduled flight time. Even still and after making sure we were on time, our flight did not take off until more than 30 minutes past our scheduled flight time, which caused us to be late for our other reservations that evening. It was my daughter's birthday and this delay caused problems for the rest of the evening. Very disappointing to her and her guests.

Good, but disappointed by the hidden prices! bad surprise for late charges and TAX - My experience was amazing overall. The ground crew and pilots were exceptional, and we were lucky to have a perfect sunny day for our helicopter flight. My husband and our two daughters were absolutely delighted. However, we encountered some inconveniences. Firstly, when booking we were not informed of the requirement to arrive 45 minutes early. This would have been helpful to know in advance. Additionally, the price we planned to pay was not the final price. Due to our slightly late arrival (at 1:25 p.m. for a 2 p.m. flight), we were forced to pay an extra $200 for the four of us. Additionally, we were charged an additional $180 for another reason. Overall, although the helicopter experience was amazing, we felt a little caught off guard by these unexpected charges when we arrived at the site.

Avoid Operator ‘NEW YORK HELICOPTERS!’ Rip-off merchants!!! - We were completely ripped off!!! Charged $150 extra because we were apparently late. However the truth was we arrived on time but there was no signage or indicator of where to go, there was no sign of a pick up point and so we had to ask around and try making phone calls. Then when the bus arrived we were accused of being late and charged!!! The helicopter ride was amazing so definitely worth doing but not with this company!!!

Terrible and Rude - Don’t get me wrong the pilot and the flying experience was great. The people on the ground however, sloppy, unorganized, and rude. I was wrongfully charged a $100 per person late fee, money I can’t get back. When trying to explain why I wasn’t late, (and I promise I wasn’t) the “boss” yells at me. The other workers know I wasn’t late, but we’re too scared to say anything. Don’t give this guy any more money. I’m sure there are more deserving people and companie out there.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY SERIOUSLY! - First things first, there’s and extra $45 fee you pay when you arrive at the port which I was NEVER AWARE OF. If I would have known that I would’ve book else or my first option which was actually cheaper. Second everyone was rude when I said nasty a** attitudes I mean exactly that. From the White passengers to the Hispanic people who run the company. I enter the shuttle bus and speak TO EVERYONE (I’m Black my friend is Hispanic she just looks like a White girl) every single last person on there looks at me as if I don’t belong and don’t speak back, strike mf one (I have video proof of how disgusted their faces looked at me). Once we arrive to the port I was confused why my friend and I had to pay an extra $45 a piece for the actual airport fee no one told me about, mind you I spoke with them multiple times because I had to change my date from my actual birthday to Friday because it rained. Now here another thing they don’t think they should tell you, you’ll be sharing a helicopter with about 2-4 extra people. Yeah my friend and I paid $234 to sit with this racist rude ass French White couple. I voiced how uncomfortable I was riding with them and that if I had too I want my money back because they ruined my experience just by entering the shuttle bus (they even spoke French talking about my friend and I in a rude matter not knowing I speak Arabic and could tell they were). Now the Hispanic people that work for the company or whatever their attitudes were very off putting as well as if I should pay the extra fee and shut up. This one lady keeps telling me “you need to read the email. You need to read next time”. Miss thang I read EVERYTHING when I’m spending $100 or more NEVER did any email from this company tell me about a $45 extra fee upon arrival. Then this guy has his PERSONAL DOG not the companies dog but his own pet in the office where I’m to pay this surprise fee. I like animals so she’s not a problem however that very unprofessional especially if you’re gonna HIT your dog because she’s friendly and smells people. Mad weird right?! Now another thing the shuttle bus driver from Friday January 20th around 3pm yeah him! He invited his goddaughter (I know for a fact because I asked him he said she’s visiting him from Miami) to join the ride and has a hookup where she steals my seat to ride passenger with the pilot. One guy as I spoke to him as he escorted me and my friend to the helicopter (Chris) he said he would make sure I sat there since IT WAS FOR MY BIRTHDAY to make it extra special, this little girl has her godfather steal my seat and experience from me. Not to mention he was already there waiting for her to walk down and TOLD them to make sure she sits there. This girl was riding on ppls rides THE ENTIRE DAY! She’s not even 18 I can tell. She never was in the shuttle bus when we got picked up and NEVER did she enter with us to leave she went back to the airport to ride again and again until yours were over. How F*CKED UP is that? Yeah worse mf company EVER! Do not book with them unless you’re okay with all of this. Read the other reviews as well they are not lying Ik for a fact from my experience.
