Romance package - My husband and I did the romance package and had the best time. Our pilot Matt was the best. We flew over Douglas Lake. When we returned a goodie basket full of chocolates, a t-shirt, champagne flutes, and peach wine was waiting in a cozy little room. Highly recommend!!

Co-Pilot Daniel. - We have flown many helicopter tours, but, this experience was easily the best. The pilot, Tyler and the boarding attendant in particular, Taylor, paid attention to every aspect of this trip. They even put our six-year-old grandson in the front, (he thought he was a co-pilot) and it was first class from start to finish, just brilliant, thanks, guys.
John, Jine and co-pilot, Daniel.

First timers - It was very nice. It was some of our first time and Scott was great and made it fun. We lost a son to an accident in Dec and this was the closest to heaven we could get.

Enjoy a birds eye view! - My husband and I had never taken a helicopter ride before and I had only been on a plane once, so I was a little nervous. That didn't last long though. Once we were up in the air, I enjoyed it very much as well as my husband. Our pilot was Scott. He did a great job, not only flying but also by making me feel comfortable. We rode on one of the bigger helicopters. Definitely want to do it again!

Just do it!!! - Upon arrival, we were super excited to get checked it. Check in was super easy and the girls were so lovely. We walked outside to the food truck that also sold adult beverages… which we needed for nerves.. then out to play corn hole. We were called by last name to get situated and get our photos taken. The pilot, Matt, so AWESOME!!! He was very respectful, funny, and informative of the area. GO NAVY!!

Not a good way to retain customers - Do not purchase the “sky river rush” bundle it will cost you about $20 more per person than if you bought them individually.(photos attached) Seems kinda scammish for a proprietor to not know simple math. When called to their attention they did say they would correct it but, they didn’t. The flight is fun. The jet boat portion is under a bridge climbing down slick rubber pads and across moss and mud covered rock NOT safe.The boat ride was nothing exciting just a ride up and down the river limited to 35mph.
