Great experience, the only thing is that the little kid can only sit in the middle of the second row, which limits what he can see. Mind this if you take a kid. The Mic on the helicopter is hard to hear clearly—otherwise beautiful scenes and fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. Originally, we were due to fly in the morning; however, due to the weather it was cancelled. The person who phoned suggested we re-arrange for the afternoon. We were so pleased we could be flexible, as it was a spectacular experience. Our kids (10 and 7) thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
Highly recommend
