Helicopter Ride Birthday Gift - It was a birthday gift for my partner. He had an amazing time. Staff was helpful and the onboarding/disembarking process was safe and seamless. There’s also an ongoing videos to watch in the waiting area. Views are spectacular. We had great weather. Highly recommend the tour.

Recommended 100% - The experience was great and the staff super friendly. We arrived before the hour and were put in a previous helicopter, so we made the most of the day. A hit.

Short duration but worth the price :-) - My family and I really enjoyed the ride and views that we could get from the helicopter. We’ve done a similar experience in Alaska and while the flight is very short, it gives a perspective that you can’t get any other way. (You just have to keep in mind the cost of running a heliport, paying the staff, and fuel that all go into the price.) There were six of us in our group and all of us could fit in a single helicopter and one of our boys got to ride up front with the pilot…an experience he’ll never forget. The staff were friendly and the flight was smooth. We had fun and that’s what counts!

Not worth it - Too expensive for the experience it is. I don't understand that on a flight that's to see the city from the air, they put a person in the middle of the back. From that place you see nothing

Worst experience ever! - Worst experience ever! They gave us a stinky helicopter where someone had just thrown up. We booked a long flight, and that was definitely not what we signed up for.
