Amazing - I have a fear of heights and small planes so I had a lot of trepidation about doing this. My fears were unfounded. This was an amazing experience. Views were fantastic and takeoff and landing were baby soft!

Most epic tour of the Panama Canal! - This was one of my favorite experiences on any trip! The pick up and pilot were AMAZING! The pilot even flew us over the city and skyscrapers running an extra 10 minutes without us even asking. Truly a memory that will last a lifetime

Amazing trip. We had 7... - Amazing trip. We had 7 friends signed up for a full day of hiking and rafting and it didn’t disappoint. Rafael was a great host. He kept us safe but made sure we had a great time and a challenging but rewarding adventure. I highly recommend.

Great experience! - We were in Panamá for a work conference and had limited free time to see the canal. The helicopter tour was the perfect solution! The driver who picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel was very courteous, and the pilot was professional and knowledgeable about the sites of the city and canal. An excellent experience!

Not sure if was worth the expense - The pilot Juan was very nice and informative. The men at the hanger were wonderful. My draw back was the flight time. The advertisement for the adventure states a 30 minute flight which it was not. The time in the air was only 20 minutes with five minutes preparation for take off and five minutes for landing and disembarking. After waiting for two hours while the helicopter was being repaired and then only having 20 minutes in the air was very disappointing. The flight was beautiful and the sight’s amazing but for 20 minutes in the air after a 2 hour wait and the cost of the flight I don’t know if was worth it. So anyone considering this helicopter adventure needs to take the cost and time in the air into consideration before choosing if this is the right adventure for them.
