The ground staff were great, very helpful. The pilot only spoke when we lifted off and landed, he seemed a little off. The helicopter ride itself was fab, a once in lifetime to celebrate a special birthday. There is a lot of competition for your business when out there, we chose this package as have the backing of Viator and could use a discount code. Too, wanted to pre pay so we could work out a spending budget for when there. Would recommend.
