A brilliant experience. Extremely well organised from beginning to end. Everything happened on time. The trip is exciting, a bucket list tick! Our pilot Levi was excellent and ensured everyone got to fly up front if they wanted to.

We went on the helicopter tour and the skywalk experience. I have no complaints about the systems, but I do have a couple of concerns. Our pilot was very sweet, but didn’t really talk much during the flight. I feel that with this amount of money, the pilot should also act as a guide and make it a more interactive experience, making it more enjoyable rather than just sitting there and looking around. Additionally, it’s ridiculous for Maverick to charge three dollars for a small bottle of water after already charging $700 for the experience. You would think they would provide water for free. The same goes for the complimentary photograph; you have to buy everything. Again, it’s not that it’s a bad experience, but I feel these are small things they can improve to reach a five-star rating.
