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!!

PERFECT - Our pilot was Adam and he was AWESOME! Our boarding attendant was Braden and he was so helpful. We had such an AMAZING trip. It was such a SMOOTH flight. We actually booked for 730pm but inclement weather was expected to roll in around 430pm so they called me in the morning to see if I was able to come earlier and they told me they could accommodate me at any time. We showed up at 1ish and they got us right in! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Fantastic First Time Flying with my 1 Year Old Grandson - Amazing views and the ride is too short if you opt for the first one. Take a longer flight you will enjoy every second of it. The pilot we had Scott was tons of fun to fly with and kept us informed along the way!
Truly great people running the place, Phil is super I wouldn't go anywhere else. Worth every penny we spent and we can't wait to go back for longer flights ourselves. Thanks again guys keep up the great job, see you soon! Again Fantastic !

Good flight - For the first time with our family it was a good trip up! Our pilot was great. The flight unfortunately was only 6 minutes and cost us for a family of four over $100 so kind of a bummer that the ride was so short. But I’m sure it cost that in fuel :)

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.
