My husband booked this tour for my 60th birthday. This was just magical. The views are incredible, and I had the best time ever, which I will never forget. It is an experience of a lifetime. The staff made you very welcome and explained all the safety measures very well.

I have been on helicopter rides and this was by far the worst! we were rushed on the helicopter because we were the last ride it did not tell me it would be with 2 other couples the expierence was very rushed they were rude telling us to run and hurry to take a picture not even a smile on the helicopter the earphones did not work hence why the pilot didn’t get where everyone was from and when we got back they were closed and just said we will airdrop the photos and practically rushed us back out were there all together for 38 mins from steppping in to stepping out! Worst expierence and worst $600 spent in my life! Tell your guys to be pleasant despite the last appointment we deserve the expierence! Ohhh and we ordered it for sunset don’t even see that either….
