2.00The flight was worth it. Everything else was not as advertised and organised chaos. There was no hotel pickups as advertised, our whole busload had to get to planet Hollywood by 630am and wait there for the shuttle. Then half an hr to Boulder airport. Then left to wait for an hr and a quarter before taking off. No updates and we had to keep asking what's going on. After the flight the same waiting for half an hr to get the shuttle back to Planet Hollywood drop off by around 11am. Plenty of staff doing nothing but typically disinterested, making excuses and rude. Our time wasn't valued. You want a window seat expect to pay $15 extra.
Fantastic Experience

1.00Worst experience ever I felt like I was over charged and probably could have gotten a better vacation renting a car and taking a Cruz to Cabo San Lucas a lot cheaper….
Not accommodating, accessible or comfortable

2.00Small plane with lot of turbulence. We were told we will go on helicopter than plane, the helicopter the when they did take us on the tarmac, it was plane. Pick-up was far from our hotel and they did not have a wheel chair for my Dad even after requesting. I probably will not use vaitor or papillon (your operating vendor) anymore, at least I feel that way right ow

1.00We booked for this trip, it confirmed a 7.30 am pick up from our Hotel, we waited for pick up for an hour! I texted and called no response from the tour operator. I called Viator most helpful, they said the local tour operator changed the pick up time to 5.56 AM we got no such notice and have tickets confirming pick up at 7.30 am , no one would book a 5.56am start time on a vacation? Very deceptive business practice! I requested a full refund. We will see!

4.00It was well organized. The plane was warm the pilots are great and office staff. The manager got us a ride to our next destination without returning to strip. Very nice. The plane was stable. Got nice pics. Wish it was cheaper but that's life. The chopper was. Too pricey for time in air. I recommend plane.
Impressive nature

4.00Organizationally, everything was great. The shuttle is highly recommended - very reliable. Even on site everything was very relaxed. We flew off a bit earlier and instead of the announced 45 minutes, we were even on the road for 60 minutes. The flight itself impressed us with the nature we experienced. You should have a stable stomach...
