Helicopter/ Sunset Cruise Feedback

Laura_F, Feb 2020
Helicopter tour was amazing but short. I wish we went around the city twice. Everyone was so busy taking photos, we didn't fully get to take in and enjoy the views. The Dinner cruise was okay, food was below average. I would have rather just did the helicopter tour then went out to dinner somewhere near the bay. Overall fun day but could have been modified a little to make it great.

Hi Laura, Thank you for your feedback about our Dinner Cruise package. We do offer our Vista Grande Tour, which is 10-min longer of flight time. If you ever book with us again, please contact us directly. We will also relay your feedback to our dinner cruise partner. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

So fun

Thank you guys so much for giving us the opportunity to go on the helicopter and the dinner cruise last night. Your staff is awesome including the driver. This was the best experience me and my girlfriend have ever had and we’d love to do it again next time we’re in San Francisco. Thank you so much!!

Nice experience. Paul and Dylan were very great servers! Beautiful views. Unfortunately, the chicken was very dry, and the fish. The sauce saved the fish, but the chicken was not good. Other than that, the food was AMAZING!

Wonderful Adventure

I am still floating after our helicopter ride! The views were spectacular and the experience was utterly amazing! The pilot was awesome and a great narrator. Dinner on the Hornblower did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the service was top notch.

Over and on SF Bay, the Good and the Bad

David_J, Jul 2018
The helicopter ride was fantastic! Our pilot was funny and informative. Flying over and below the Golden Gate Bridge was truly memorable. The harbor cruise showed us some beautiful sights but it was too long, too noisy and the food was not very good.

Scheretta S, Aug 2017
I highly recommended the helicopter/dinner cruise excursion. The copter ride was amazing with picturesque views of San Francisco. The over and under views of the Golden Gate bridge were breathtaking...The dinner cruise was delish and our server was phenomenal, attentive, funny and engaging!! Having the opportunity to meet new people as you enjoy a genre of music from yesterday to today was ever so memorable.

The weather was perfect for the helicoper tour which was amazing. Exciting and informative. The Dinner Cruise was punctual, the service was great and the food lovely. A great evening. They were both excellent and would highly recommend.

Shanatay B, Mar 2016
Overall it was amazing and I would do it again. The only thing they don't tell you about the helicopter ride is that it seats 7. So 5 in the back and one person rides up front with the pilot. So if you are going as a couple there is a possibility you can get separated. The tour is amazing it takes you under and over the bridge which was an awesome experience. The cruise is gorgeous and the food and music is great. There is assigned seating which I wish they would gave you the option of choosing where you want to sit during the time of purchase because I would of had a better view towards the front of the ship since we were placed in the middle of the ship. But it was a awesome experience and I enjoyed it very much

All 4 stars are for the helicopter flight, which was amazing. Took off from Saulsilito, flew over and under the Golden Gate Bridge....amazing! The evening cruise whilst ok was not incredible and doesn't compare to the one we went on in New York. nit doing it wouldn't have detracted from the holiday

If you're from San Francisco, make sure to tell the pilot where your house is, you might get to see it! Amazing experience, went under the Golden Gate Bridge twice, dinner cruise was classy and romantic.

the helicopter was very exciting for both of us. not what to expect from all the excitement and flutters, but it was all worth it. the dinner cruise was very nice, enjoyed the food, the only thing it was cold.

Jack A, Jan 2015
Tour was done well but did not realize we would have to drive from san Francisco wharf to san Francisco airport. Also did not realize there would be an hour and half before the cruise allowed boarding after our return to the Ferry building.

We had such a wonderful time. My granddaughter, wife and I all are still talking about it. The staff was very professional and courteous. I only wish we were still flying. Thank you for making a wonderful memory! The cruise was very relaxing and the dinner was great. Such a great combination for seeing San Francisco. Land, Air and Sea. Wow.

Richard M, Oct 2013
Helicopter ride was off the hook. Definitely recommend doing this was totally worth. We did have to wait two hours between the dinner cruise and concluding the helicopter ride. Otherwise was a great time.

peter k, Jan 2012
awesome trip on helicopter it actually flew under the bridge which was just awesome and the dinner cruise was also excellent with all sights taken in and food was good also

the helicopter tour, I'm sure for all...

Ian R C, Nov 2010
the helicopter tour, I'm sure for all first-time "flyers"; is an amazing experience. However, please note that you do go with a group so the romance is not really there if you are looking for it. In terms of the sunset dinner cruise. Well...we left shore when it was already dark, the food was average, and the band who was performing for us in the yacht were out-dated. The only good thing about the cruise was the service from our waitor. Nothing special. For the amount of money I spent on this package...it wasn't worth it.

Warner, May 2014
Excelente. Sencillamente, valió el boleto. La experiencia del helicóptero quedará en nuestra memoria por muchísimos años como un recuerdo increíble y para sellar con broche de oro la cena en el crucero al anochecer, que fue otra experiencia digna de los mejores recuerdos de esta visita a SF.
