Riding in a helicopter provides a thrilling opportunity to see the area from a different perspective.

Our helicopters are equipped with comfortable leather seats and expansive windows for your best visibility.  Before your flight our staff will give you a safety briefing so that you are comfortable in and around the aircraft.  Seating arrangements are determined by the weight and balance of the aircraft.Once in side the aircraft you will be equipped with noise canceling headsets used to communicate with your pilot and other passengers. Our pilots are trained to make your tour an exceptional and memorable experience!

On occasion, poor visibility or very high winds may cause a flight delay. Cancellations are typically not an issue. In the case of a delay, you may either re-book the flight for a later date or wait until the pilot clears you for flying.

However, if we need to cancel a tour for any reason, we will contact you and offer you the option to reschedule. If rescheduling is not a possibility (due to travel plans, for instance), we will refund the full amount.

In most cases YES!  We are able to take wheelchairs out to the loading area.  From that point boarding the aircraft is similar to climbing into jeep or tall SUV.  We are there to assist in any way possible but we are not permitted to lift passengers.

No.  Title 14 of The Code of Federal Regulations,  part 382.117,  states that animals cannot fly if “the animal obstructs an aisle or other area that must remain unobstructed to facilitate an emergency evacuation.” Every exit and aisle on a helicopter is an emergency exit and aisle.  Additionally, as no one can be certain of how an animal will react in a high-stress situation,  their access to the flight controls is a major safety concern to all aboard the helicopter.

Tips are greatly appreciated but not expected.
