Really great your, worth it. Had to take a little different route than expected due to it being so cloudy, but it was still great.

The views were amazing! Couldn’t see it any other way. The pilot was great also. Point out some great hiking spots if you are into that. Saw quite a few different lakes, didn’t realize there were so many.

Staff and pilot were extremely accomodating. Good narration. Beautiful views. Good photo ops. No waterfalls - dry conditions. But with all of the other scenry it really didn't matter. Smooth ride.

I took my boyfriend on this helicopter ride for our anniversary and both of us absolutely loved it! Levi was so much fun to talk to and he provided a bunch of information on what we were seeing but also the process of being a helicopter pilot since my boyfriend was interested in being one. So awesome! Would highly recommend.

Great Helicopter ride- the pilot was very good and the ride scenery was phenomenal. We were able to see so much more from the air than just driving around. It gave us a lot of perspective.

There were no waterfalls, this should clearly stated that during the summer/winter there may not be waterfalls. It’s the reason I went. The tour guide was great, stunning views and awesome lakes
Ashley_V, Oct 2022
Amazing experience! Definitely a beautiful and exciting way to enjoy the lakes and mountains! Our pilot Levi was great as well! Definitely made our honeymoon perfect!
Jennifer_S, Sep 2022
This was a bit of a disappointment as our much anticipated 30min Helicopter 🚁 Tour was cancelled due to mechanical repairs…we totally understood that was a necessary adjustment however they didn’t offer to place us on a different tour that day (I believe there were 3 diff tours offered by this company) and they were super casual about the cancellation…wish we could have been placed on any other helicopter tour.

The views are amazing, The pilot amazing, very nice and helpful.
We loved it. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

The tour was great. I'd say the price is slightly steep but they also make it a private tour for you only so it is definitely worth it. I think playing music while flying will make the experience more enjoyable.

The best experience I've ever had. It's worth every dollar for this experience. Get a different perspective on the surrounding areas
