Worst helicopter tour yet

William_Z, Sep 2026

Very disappointed. They made us wait an hour past our scheduled flight so we was up in pure darkness rather then getting our sunset views that I paid for. They also separated my wife and I. I have been on 3 different helicopter tours and this was my least favorite without a doubt. I won't be back

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and I'm sorry to hear your flight didn't live up to what you were expecting. Missing the sunset after being delayed an hour past your scheduled time is exactly the kind of experience we don't want for our guests, especially when that view was the reason you booked. I also understand the frustration of being separated from your wife during the tour, that's not how we want couples experiencing this with us. Since you've flown with a few different operators, I take it seriously that this was your least favorite experience by comparison, and I'd like the chance to make it right. Could you submit what happened through the "Letters to the Owner" page on our website? Once that reaches us, we'll follow up directly to see how we can turn this around for you. We appreciate you giving us the chance to fix this, and we hope to have the opportunity to show you a better experience in the future.

Carolina_R, Aug 2026

Total bs. Time reserved they don’t honor!!! Took 4 groups ahead of us who arrived after we did. 45 minutes after the time reserved. All kinds of excuses. Don’t waste your money. Will Not come back. Would Give 0 stars

horrible it was my...

Lisa_E, Jul 2026

horrible it was my birthday yesterday they were 40 mins late.we arrived 5 mins before boarding to avoid me getting bit because i’m allergic to mosquitos but nooooo they were 40 mins late.i was terrorized by bugs,pushed out the way so people could get “nice seats” and someone stepped on my shoes with no sorry or excuse me.i know that not their fault for the indecent courtesy of other people but maybe a “watch your step one at a time” would’ve helped.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and I'm truly sorry your birthday experience didn't go the way it should have. No one should have to deal with bug bites, being pushed aside, or having their shoes stepped on without so much as an apology, especially on a day that was supposed to be a celebration. I did want to flag one thing: our check-in and waiting area is fully indoors, guests only step outside briefly to walk to the helicopter itself, so the outdoor wait you described doesn't match how our tour runs. It's possible this review was meant for a different business entirely. If you could reach out to us directly with your booking details, we'd really like to look into exactly what happened and make sure it's addressed properly, whether that's with us or by helping get this pointed to the right business.
