The staff on ground was amazing and very friendly. They took the time to explain everything and made you very comfortable. Our Pilot was JD... took time to explain and made us feel safe. Pointed out the various landmarks and made it a really enjoyable flight

I loved the view and how smooth the ride was. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. I wish it could have been longer.

You have to try!

The whole crew put our mind at ease before even going in the air! Jesse is from MN where I’m from so what an nice little coincidence!

Great Family Experience

We had never flown on a helicopter before and it was a unique experience! The views are spectacular and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Nice experience.

Definitely the helicopter ride, even though short, not long enough to talk to the pilot and be told about what you’re flying over. Although it is very nice that they have things to do when you’re waiting for your flight. Staff was very friendly and polite, but we had a reservation, but showed up about an hour early. I asked if we’d be able to get on sooner but if we couldn’t, I understood I was told that we could and still ended up waiting an hour.would have rather been told to stick to the reservation time.

Awesome memories

Wife's First Flight

Dan_S, Jul 2022
This was my wife's first flight! We kept to the shortest trip available. Geoff's amazing sense of humor and professionalism helped put her at ease. She loved every moment and wants to go back for a longer flight. Thank you for making this a great memory!

Everyone was so friendly...

The Most Awesome Thing To Do

Tmbleweedgrl63, Nov 2019
My husband always wanted to go on a helicopter ride, so for his birthday I surprised him with one. I wasn't going to go. I am deathly afraid of heights! DEATHLY! I can tell you.....I ended up going with him because I didn't want him to go alone. I have to say, It was the best experience EVER!! The helpers helped keep me calm, the pilot was amazingly professional, and the ride was breathtaking. If anyone ever has a chance to do this, I highly recommend you do! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

We are so happy you conquered your fears and were able to enjoy and take part of such a memorable experience with your husband. It truly makes us happy to know that the staff was there to calm your nerves and assure you that you would in fact have a great time. We love what we do here at Scenic, and being able to share our joys of flying with guests is why we are all here. Next time you are in the area be sure to stop back by and take another tour!

Great Time
