All 5 of the family were FTF so we were a little nervous to say the least. Our fears were soon overcome by the instructions and information given by Justin our boarding attendant. We felt quite safe with the pilot Brad, an ex Marine allegedly, and his calming demeanour when the rear door came open towards the end of the flight. I sat next to him and was not concerned as my radio was working and I could hear him give reassurance but this was not the same for the rest of our group as the rear headsets and microphones did not work. However, this did not distract from a great experience, which we all enjoyed and would do again. I would throughly recommend this tour company.

I booked a ride online for myself and my young daughter (4 years old). The flight we took was $29/pp and well worth it. Brad was the pilot and Matt assisted us while we were there! It was a quick flight (maybe 5-6 minutes or so?) but it was perfect for my daughter because that was her first time flying. Only suggestion I would have for them would be to offer a headset for children that will allow communication. She had ear protection, but wasn't able to talk to me.

Highly recommend! Brad, our pilot, served in our military. I thank him greatly for his service & for providing us with an awesome experience today. Matt our boarding attendant greeted us as soon as we arrived & let us know everything we needed to know to make our experience awesome. We will most definitely do it again when we return 2 years from now & take a longer tour, for sure.
