first time! wonderful!

Ymmen_G, Nov 2024
first ride and it was awesome. our pilot ethan was awesome, he gave nice introduction, took care of our needs and most importantly flew really well. we got little bit of uneasiness in stomach towards the end, given ot was our first time, but he received our signal and immediately headed back. galveston looked so beautiful from up in the air. watching the cruise ships from the top was different as i have never seen what happens inside those ships. overall wonderful experience, would love to do it again.

Awesome Ride

Perfect weather, awesome pilot and something I will remember. I have done many helicopter tours and enjoy that but this was an entirely different experience. I believe we were traveling at 90 miles an hour and it felt like floating. I would recommend it!
