5.00Everything about our helicopter ride was perfect! Booking the flight was easy, they give you thorough instructions the day before about how to get to their spot and what to expect and what to wear, etc. The flight itself is great. Pilot was great. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommend.

5.00I cannot express how amazing this experience was! The views were other-worldly. The pilot was friendly and provided great communication. This could be overwhelming if you are fearful of heights or easily get motion sickness. Otherwise, it’s an experience not to be missed.
Stunning

4.00We'll never forget this flight. Breathtaking impressions of the island that are not possible by car or from Earth. Safe pilots. Unfortunately, the hour was not fully utilized.
