15 yo niece had a great time. Did the short $39 flight. It was $5 extra for the headset and you can buy pictures after that were a bit expensive. Also bought her a hoodie for $30 that was a bit pricey. The wait was quick and she went up with 2 other people. No age limits but they weigh you beforehand for safety. The colder the weather the lighter the load needs to be. I thought the price was high for how quick the flight was. She had a great time though

Our tour was wonderfully started with a rundown from Justin, who gave us starting information regarding our helicopter and flight. Our amazing and knowledgable pilot, John, showed us a great aerial view of the lake. It was quicker than anticipated, but still amazing! John gave us great information about the area, as well as the helicopter itself. After the flight, we received amazing photos from Isaac the photographer! Thank you so much for great service, information, and an overall experience!
