It was the first time I had ever been off the ground and in the air. It was an amazing experience. I am so ready to a longer ride. Phil-pilot Jay-boarding attendant both was amazing at their job

Best vacation experience I have had to date. I took my children for their birthdays, I was a bit nervous about my 14-year-old daughter with autism… (her reactions and safety) But it was great! Her dreams came true, literally. Jay was super attentive to her safety and even offerd headphones for her sensory issues. Drake was personable making us all relaxed and excited for the trip, responded to kids questions and comments. My son, interested in being a pilot sat front seat and talked helicopters with Pilot Drake (and continued to talk helicopters all week). Fun Times! This was affordable and easy to book. They were on time with the flight schedules, so no long lines. This was so easy to fit in to our vacation schedule. I recommend families with small children, disabled persons, the elderly, ANYONE! We will be back for the national parks tour!

Extremely smooth ride and awesome views of the lake, great staff members. The pilot was informative. I went there on my trip to the Smokies last weekend and it was an amazing experience. Would very highly recommend to go again.
