It was great. They fly from a different airport on the weekends, which we found out when we arrived at DLH as instructed lol. Not sure where the issue lies but I'll own it because I didn't bother to check. Anyway, it all worked out and we had a great time! Thank you!

Thrilling, not frightening. The pilot and receptionist made it even more fun. Leaves most colorful the second week of October.

When the pilot told us the distance we were from the ground. It was scary because it was our very first time.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

We are so happy you took a risk and got what I hope was an amazing experience in exchange!

Great experience for kids!

We opted for the shortest ride as this was my 7 year old son’s first helicopter experience and I wasn’t sure how he’d handle it. Katelyn and Alec made it so comfortable and fun for him, we’ll be back for the longer ride next time!
