The whole experience was fantastic. From the moment we met the pilot until landing it was a great time. It is expensive but I would recommend it to everyone.

Great experience!

Helen_T, Aug 2024

It was an incredible experience - we got to see so much more than I could possibly have imagined. Our pilot was great too - talking all the way, telling us all about the area. I can't recommend this enough. Worth every penny.

Great experienc with HeliSicily

We had a wonderful time exploring Etno with the helicopter. The staff was very friendly, we got refreshments before the flight and the pilot was super funny and told as a lot of interesting things about our tour and Sicily. This was a great experience and we can recommend it!
