Awesome experience, very fair price!! - Lina is a spectacular pilot. If you’ve never taken a ride in a helicopter before ( I had not) she will put you at ease, and you’ll feel so much more comfortable with the experience. Ten out of ten definitely recommend!!

sunset over New Orleans in a helicopter - What a great experience seeing the Mississippi River and the French Quarter (at sunset). The birds-eye view of the city was breath taking... Vincent at the front desk made everything easy and Lena (our pilot) was great at educating us on what we were flying over... we will be back for the longer tour...! Eric and Gail Sheaffer

Well done HeliCo and Pilot Dakota - My first time in a chopper but it won’t be the last. Our pilot, Dakota was great. He was obviously comfortable with the chopper and with the landmarks/sights/history that he pointed along the way. Our 30 minute tour went fast, too fast. We could have stayed up a lot longer. Our route looped us over the lake, the swamp, the Mississippi River, and made a good turn around/over the downtown area of New Orleans. Dakota pointed out several/most of the major areas of the city from the air. Very professionally done Dakota and HeliCo. Thanks for some great memories.
