Awesome Tour with SKY Helicopters

5.00Oh my Gosh! Yesterday we went out on Sky Helicopters Beer tasting tour. I don’t drink beer so they substituted champagne for the beer. Our Pilot was Kyle Brown. He took us through safety precautions and what to do should something happen to him. He was so informative, personal and professional, an awesome guide. He took us up past Wigeon Lake where we landed on what looked like a small rock jutting out of the mountains where we walked around took pictures and he brought us a bottle of champagne with two flutes to drink from. He took creative photos of us with the helicopter and with various mountain backgrounds. I think we spent more time enjoying ourselves up there with Kyle than our actual trip allowed for. Allowing for wind and ensuring our safety at every stage was SKY Helicopters first priority but ensuring that our “bucket list “activity was educational, fun and personal was also Kyle’s. We have talked about this and are hoping to do this on an annual basis and we will ask that Kyle be our pilot . I highly recommend SKY Helicopters for anyone who has a bucket list, or a special occasion you want to make extra special

5.00It was an amazing experience. Despite the rainy weather, the place where we went was perfect. (like in the movie Twilight). The flight was comfortable and our guide - Roger was a very friendly and cheerful companion. He showed us all the beauties of this tour and treated us to incomparable craft beer. Everything was top notch from start to finish. For us, this was the first helicopter flight and it was unforgettable. So, I recommend it to everyone. No matter the season or the weather, this company will help you choose the best tour, time and location. Everything for your comfort and the best impressions! You are the best! Thank you.
Amazing - just do it!

5.00This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We were collected from our hotel by the very knowledgeable and friendly Erich, who gave us a running commentary of all the places we drive through to get to the Sky helicopter hangar. We then met Roger, our pilot, who showed us our helicopter and explained how it all worked. My husband sat in the front with him, which was great as I had all the back to myself! Roger was great, really friendly, knowledgeable, made the whole journey a joy! Gave us lots of info about where we were flying, what was below us etc. We landed in a beautiful spot next to the clearest water I’ve ever seen and then sampled four local craft beers. We spent some time enjoying that scenery then lifted off again for the return flight. I did think I was going to be scared but I felt in very safe hands and would recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about it! Thank you Roger and Sky!

5.00If I could rate higher than 5 stats, I would. The customer service was beyond reproach. The Sky team made this experience so easy and they are the most amazing humans. They care. I have never encountered such a competent, professional, and connected team of people on my life and they go above and beyond to make their customers know how valued they are. Jen and our pilot Stefanie elevated our entire experience on the day of our flight and they complimented the amazing customer service I received during the entire booking experience. These people are truly incredible and DELIVER. The best decision you could make is to choose Sky Helicopters for an incredible experience. I can't say enough about how amazing this team is. Book. N.O.W. They will NOT let you down.
Breathtaking experience

5.00We did the beer flight tour through the mountains to a remote spot 5000 ft above sea level. Such a great experience from start to finish. Evert our pilot was a great guide and made us feel safe, and all the staff were amazing. I'd highly recommend this
