The Extended Douglas Lake tour was awesome! I greatly enjoyed the view of the lake and surrounding area. The helicopter ride was very smooth and the pilot was friendly and explained about the region. I would not have guessed that we were traveling at about 120 mph and 1,400 feet in the air. This trip takes approximately 8-10 minutes. Helicopters can hold between 3 and 6 passengers. I would talk with Scenic Tours to see what is available during your visit.
The staff at the helicopter station were friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. You will have the option to purchase photos of your flight.
You may reserve a flight time by visiting the Scenic Helicopter Tour website or by calling their office. Advance reservations are not normally required; particularly during the week. I would recommend making advance reservations on or near a holiday.
I highly recommend this tour if you have a desire to see the mountains and lake from another perspective. Shorter and longer tours are available.
Look in area brochures for a 10 to 15% discount if you plan to pay once you arrive at the helicopter station.
