This was my husband's first time in a helicopter and he loved it! Zac was our pilot and I told him we read lots of great reviews for him on here so he tried extra hard to give us a flawless landing . It was! He's friendly, informative, and it was a great ride! I'd recommend spending a bit more on a longer ride as the lake view doesn't last long. I only chose that one to make sure the hubby's first experience was a good one. Thanks to all, including the flight assistant and photo operator!

Paid $77 for an 8 min ride. Very expensive but worrh it. Something everyone needs to do once. I think it should be longer as far as the minutes. It waa over before I really got to take everything in. We waited longer for our turn than it took for the ride. Staff was very friendly.
