The helicopter pilot Becky was awesome. The scenery was enjoyable and it was fun to land and take off Tower Butte.
This tour is super! Very exciting. Thanks to Michael and Albert, our pilot. Three of the four of us were 1st timers in a helo, and so a bit unsure of what to expect. Any reluctance disappeared the moment we walked in the door. Everything about it completely professional. Bravo!
Because I was solo they had to change my time but it turned out well.the pilot was very nice.amazing view from the butte we landed on
I was called by the tour operator on the Friday night before and told me the tour is cancelled due to ”helicopter maintenance”. I was told I have to call Viator to get my refund of $618!! I’m going to try to call them and see how that goes.
Mixed feelings with this. I got a message day of that the helicopter was running late. So we pushed back a couple hours but it didn’t get back in time so I was moved to the following day. It was rather inconvenient to wait around all day for nothing. I requested a discount for the inconvenience or a complimentary 3 rd person seat. I was told it would be looked into and they would let me know day of flight. That never happened I never got told anything about the discount or 3 rd seat. While the views were spectacular I was disappointed to have to replan my birthday plans with family. No discount was applied.
Excellent experience. Actually better than anticipated. Beautiful country, great helicopter and pilot. Flying over the Lake Powell area is awesome and landing on Tower Butte was the icing on the cake. Incredible views!
The ride and view were amazing! Our pilot was very knowledgeable about the area. Landing on the butte and getting to look at the views above was definitely a memorable and unique experience
The staff was great along with the adventure......,.................................................
