It’s great, we arrived the mountain with great views. It will be wonderful if the trip can be more long and if we can see the sunrise 😉
Breathtaking

It was the best experience of all, I definitely recommend doing it, our pilot was very friendly, spoke many languages and explained all the possible data, when I was going to book the tour I had doubt if it was worth it as it is expensive, but definitely worth every penny, I recommend it 100%
A great flight over the most beautiful landscape that you can imagine.

What a great flight, safety was always number one. The ability to land in a remote destination is indescribable. We learned so much from our pilot and the heli was such a confortable ride that we booked another flight to a different area. Thor and Simon were amazing guides, we would highly recommend you book this excursion.
Safe and beautiful flight

Simply amazing and professional pilot! Superb and accommodating front desk as well. We had to reschedule our flight but the office was more than supportive and communicative in the matter. Terrific service and breathtaking photography opportunities!

Yohana was an excellent guide and pilot. The smoothest ride that could have been. She took care of every attention to detail. Worth every minute and more...
