It was a wonderful experience considering it was out first time visiting Barcelona. The sailing experience was amazing. However we would have liked the helicopter ride to encompass the whole city rather than just the coastline.

Helicopter ride not worth

divya_m, Dec 2024

The overall flight experience was just okay since it was a very short ride. If it had been over the city along with coast and lasted around 15 minutes, it would have felt more worthwhile. Spending so much money for just seven minutes on a helicopter ride didn’t seem worth it to me. However, the sailing experience was absolutely amazing. Being a water baby, I enjoyed it a lot. Our sailor was excellent, and I’d rate the experience a 10/10. Sailing is definitely a must-do! Timing are flexible like if you reach early and the group completes they will allow you early

A LITTLE TOO SHORT

Brenda_S, Jul 2024

The flight was ok but would have been better if you could fly over the city a little bit. The flight was a little short to me. The boat ride was good, I enjoyed it more for the buck.

Sailing was great but don’t count on the helicopter

Melissa_E, Jul 2024

We were in Barcelona from the US and booked the helicopter and sailing tour for Father’s Day. The day before, they called to let us know that our helicopter experience would be at 11:30am instead of the 4:30pm as we had booked. We left flexibility in our day from 2:00pm on, but had morning plans and could not give up an entire day of vacation. We still did the sailing portion of the experience and it was incredible. I recommend booking the sailing experience only. We were refunded for the helicopter part, but it was a letdown and it is unreasonable to expect tourists to leave an entire day open for a 15 minute experience.

Not bad, but least favorite experience in our time in Spain

k_d, Jun 2024

The logistics of this are not good. Of course with a helicopter adventure there is an added challenge, but the times for sailing should be given much more in advance. This caused us to not be able to go, having gotten the true time one day prior (after we had already booked other tours the day before and such). We also were supposed to have the longer flight, but only got the shortest route which was disappointing. That said, they did try to accommodate the sailing at different times. But when your vacation is limited, you have plans already which can make it difficult to adjust. Better to know the schedule much more in advance.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear k_d, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience. We apologize for any inconvenience you faced regarding the logistics of your helicopter adventure and sailing schedule. As mentioned on our website, the helicopter company sends us the schedule 24 hours in advance. As soon as we received this information from them, we promptly informed you. We understand that this can cause challenges when planning your vacation, and we regret that this affected your ability to participate in the tour and led to disappointment with the shorter flight route. While we strive to accommodate our guests by offering flexible sailing times, we acknowledge the importance of having a set schedule beforehand for a smooth and enjoyable experience. We are working on improving our communication and scheduling processes to ensure that our guests receive all necessary information in a timely manner. We appreciate your understanding and are grateful for your constructive feedback. Should you choose to give us another opportunity in the future, we will do our best to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience. The Team Sailing Experience Barcelona

Something to remember

Che_M, Jun 2024

Seeing the views on the helicopter was lovely. The staff communicated well and made the safety protocols clear. When arriving we were waiting for only 15 minutes and then went onto a great experience. Only inconvenience was the change in time that was told to us the day before. We wanted a morning experience but was told we could only do midday.

Great day!

Elizabeth_B, Apr 2024

Helicopter ride was short but fun and we were able to see a good part of the city. Boat ride was great Manuel was our captain on the boat he was great with getting us drink’s whenever we needed and offered to take photos for us. Was great with giving restaurant recommendations after the tour has ended. Was very knowledgeable about other boats and buildings we saw throughout the ride.

Helicopter Flight

Fahhad_A, Feb 2024

Thanks for Helicopter Flight experience, Really I enjoy it and the employees support us before the trip 👍🏽

Never never book with them!

Askar_B, Sep 2023

I had a booking at 2pm Barcelona time. I have flew from London and my girlfriend from Bologna just for this experience, moreover it has been my birthday! I did not get any message from them until 9am on that day and obviously I have been flying from London. We have spent money on plane tickets, hotel just for this and the provider simply swapped our time without notifying a day before. This is a complete fraud, I can be taking bookings and doing it to all clients. I will for sure contact the bank and mark the transaction as a fraudulent.

Helicopter view was...

Maria_E, Aug 2023

Helicopter view was wonderful. The sailboat experience was priceless. So much fun all around. David was a great guide on the boat.

Started off great

Jeremy_S, Jul 2023

The boat trip and skipper were amazing. However the whole experience on our last day by the rudeness and unprofessionalism at the helecopter ride by the staff. I did complain but nothing has been done.

You got to see all of...

Sixten_H, Jul 2023

You got to see all of Barcelona city from the sky. It was really cool and gave you an oppurtunity to experience the city in a different way.

Sailing trip was amazing!

Kira_A, Apr 2023

The helicopter flight was unique and fun, but what really stood out was the sailing trip. We had such an amazing time and were truly impressed with the seamanship of our captain! We did a lot of fun things in Barcelona but this was over the top fun. Definitely do it if you have the chance.

Nice trip!

Simon_N, Mar 2023

Fantastic! The boat crew was excellent and looked after us well. Plenty of Carva flowed and nibbles. The helicopter was great. All very slick and professional.

Amazing

Krista_L, Feb 2023

Everything was amazing from seeing to see you, too above the same Barcelona from the coast line! Staff was amazing!!!!

Great trip where you can see Barcelona from the air and by sea.

Joanne_L, Oct 2022

We booked the helicopter and sailing experience and were not disappointed. We arrived 1 hour early for the helicopter ride and they managed to get us in earlier than our scheduled time. The helicopter flew along the coast of Barcelona and was about 6 minutes long in total. The sailing experience was great. There was sangria, beer, and other drinks available with a plate of ham, olives and biscuits available. The sailing experience lasted about 1 1/2 hours.

Not worth the money

Sue_B, Aug 2022

What was ment to be a memorable experience for my sons birthday was cut short because of impending bad weather …we were literally in the air for 4 mins …took off went over to the W hotel and returned …not with the money ..I wish they had reschedule the trip as it was already moved from scheduled time so we had to alter our plans ..so felt it was all very rushed

It was wonderful, but would've liked it to continue longer.

Sanmitra_B, Aug 2022

Awesome

Karthikeyan_S, Jul 2022

Excellent experience. Captain Raymond was very good. Would surely recommend to my friends. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Was good but could have been better

Shelley_O, Jun 2022

Helicopter was great once we were in it but it was running half an hour late and there isn’t anything to do around the area so had to just sit outside the office and wait. The boat was nice and relaxing, drinks were provided but there was no snacks in site which was part of the itinerary so not sure what happened there, also thought there would be opportunities for stopping and getting in the water.

Great experience

Makeda_F, Jun 2022

Excellent Captain his knowledge of Barcelona was excellent and he was very accommodating. I enjoyed the yacht.

BOOK THIS BARGAIN NOW!

daniela_m, Feb 2022

BOOK THIS NOW! I absolutely loved this tour. It was incredible and our guide was great and so kind. He was originally from Italy so a super great guy to have conversation with. My only wish would be that I could have stayed in the helicopter a little bit longer but for the price it is such a great deal! You can see the Sagrada and everything. But truly the sail just stole the show. The wine was great, the atmosphere was fabulous, and I have no complaints at all. I would book again and recommend to everyone I know. Such a beautiful way to start our Euro trip, don’t think twice book today.

Great and will do it again

Appiah, Nov 2021

Great experience with customer satisfaction their priority, highly recommended guys, just that helicopter ride time should be bit long

Awesome experience!!!!

mohammed adnan, Aug 2018

It was good but can be better by giving more time and better sailing experience.

Valentina_A, Aug 2025

Erg gaaf met een zeer leuke captain

Egbert_B, Oct 2023

Wat een gave dag gehad. Eerst vanuit de lucht Barcelona bekijken En dan op zeilboot vanaf zee genietend van een drankje en hapje. Super bedankt allemaal.

Ein Toller Tag auf See und in der Luft.

Sean_A, Sep 2023

Die Bootstour war absolut klasse. Unsere Skipper, Miriam, war toll. Sehr nette Dame, tolle Gespraeche, und Perfekten Service. Die Tour wuerden wir bei Ihr uns das Unternehm immer wieder machen. Der Helikopter war auch schoen, aber unsere Meinung nach, viel zu kurz. Aber eine tolle Erfahrung :-)
