The tour was amazing by all means. The staff and pilot welcome us in a very friendly manner. Take off and landing were very smooth and if you are lucky and it is shiny day, you will enjoy the scenery of the islands and the sun reflection on the lake surface. The choppers are not noisy as the common bigger ones and you can communicate with the fellow traveler and the pilot thru the mix and headphones. Lots of videos and pictures can be taken. The price is reasonable given the coordinated team involved in making this happens

Absolutely spectacular. Very cordial retired military search and rescue pilot. Sorry we didnt get his name. This was a complete surprise for my granddaughters' 13 birthday and I'm sure she will remember it forever. Thankyou for a wonderful experience.

This helicopter adventure was nothing short of fantastic. We recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure out of the ordinary. Worth every penny! Thanks everyone! Bob and AnneMette
