What a brilliant thing to do! I'd booked this as a surprise for my wife but also a special treat for me.
We were picked up from the hotel by Lance, a great bloke who kept us chuckling all the way to the airport. We were greeted and briefed in a lovely calm manner so that nobody had any nerve issues.
We were then taken out to the helicopter and we opted for doors off so once we were buckled in, we set off. Nils, our pilot, was a mine of information telling us all about the island highlighting all the good things to see and was actually really fun to be with for the hour. There really is no better way to see the island and all its features. We were lucky enough on the day to also see a school of whales.
The hour passed incredibly quickly as there was just so much to see - turtles, waterfalls, mountains, magnum' s house(!) , Pearl Harbour and more. Conversation and sights just kept on coming.
The whole trip was absolutely fantastic and not something I or my wife will ever forget. The team were all really nice- fun to chat to and be with but also informative and professional.
This trip is more than recommended, I'd say it's obligatory!
