This was a wonderful outing! The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the cost. We did it with doors off and that made it even better.

I usually don't write reviews, especially negative, but this was expensive enough to warn people. The overall experience would've been good, but since I was with myself I feel like they sat me behind the helicopter pilot (seat 6). Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but this was on the right side of the helicopter. A family of four all sat left and center. So, the tour was navigated by mostly turning left 90% of the time. The few times the pilot would turn right, it was quick, so trying to get pics or enjoy the view from my side was very short lived and even worse when the dad in the middle would push his camera phone past me to get the views on the right, when I never did that on the left. Overall, poor planning to give everyone an enjoyable experience. I don't know if this was because they were all together and I was single rider, they sacrificed my enjoyment, or if this is standard. If so, beware sitting behind the pilot in seat 6. Then they ask for tips at the end after 325 dollars. My tip, turn right more.
