5.00Oh my goodness this was so much fun. We almost cancelled our whole trip due to weather and I’m so glad we didn’t because missing this would have been terrible! Nikki was so good. I went up with my daughter and her best friend. We had taken pretty much the same tour in a car earlier that day, but to see the views from above was amazing. I felt safe and Nikki was extremely knowledgeable about the island. I can’t say how pleased I was with this tour and company. They were great!

5.00Lots of changes in our flight were made by the company but they made up for the inconvenience by giving us an extra 15 mins on our flight which was nice and greatly appreciated. The staff was friendly and handled everything with care and concern.

5.00We had to book this tour at the last minute because the tour we had booked canceled onus at the last minute and we really wanted to take this tour. The folks at Rainbow tours were so nice and knowledgeable. The pilot was very enthusiastic and did a fantastic job showing all the best places.
