It was an awesome experience for my family. Definitely a dream come true for my dad who survived an open heart surgery with 4 different procedures and this is definitely one of his bucket list. We are very satisfied with their service. Everyone is so professional and courteous. The flight was so smooth. Great pilot! It’s definitely an unforgettable moment for everyone and if we ever come back to this place, we will definitely fly with them again!

Take to the skies

Gary_S, May 2022

From check in to leaving the guys were great. Fantastic trip with a fun easy going way to take your photos as you boarded, engaging pilot informing you of interesting points the whole trip. Enjoyed every second of it. We only dud the shortest flight as it was my girlfriends first helicopter flight in case she didn't like it....she loved it, wanted to go straight back up again when we landed. Had the helicopter all to ourselves which made it very personal to us. Would definitely do a longer flight next time. Top marks.

Could Not Have Been Better!

Amy_E, Jul 2019

Mishelle R, Feb 2018

I was not impressed at all. At least I can say I have been in a helicopter but not worth the money at all. We were taken over a golf course, nothing like the trip was supposed to be. I understand that it was windy that day but if they needed to reroute the trip, they should of taken us somewhere that compared to what we were supposed to see. Very disappointed to say the least. The pilot hardly spoke at all. Never once on their site does it state that you will be put with other people and this made the ride very crowded and not as romantic as it was supposed to be.
