Disappointing

Nice ride, but hard to justify paying $200 to fly over a golf course and return. I guess the most expensive trip would have been better.
Amazing

Adam was a wonder pilot. Forgot the gentleman's name that took pictures but we were there on December 19th 2025 for the noon tour. He was wonderful. They called us to see if we could reschedule the trip we originally had planned due to high winds. Unfortunately we were unable to reschedule as it was our last day there, so we did the noon trip, which was shorten so they refunded the difference. We have a wonderful experience for our 1st time ever riding in a helicopter. We're planning a trip back in October 2026 to do our original flight. Hopefully to have Adam as our pilot and the photographer we had again.
