Smooth, fun tour

We arrived about 45 minutes early for our tour, but that didn't concern the crew. They immediately prepped the bird and the pilot was ready to go. I have been on many helicopters as a vet, but my first one this small. It was my wife's first ever helicopter ride. The ground crew gave us a ride from the office to the helicopter via a golf cart. The crew member explained the boarding process, and was very informative and helpful. The pilot had a very smooth takeoff and explained the process as well as radio traffic that occurred amongst us passengers, other aircraft and airport personnel. Pilot was a great tour guide explaining dozens of points of interest. Very smooth ride considering their was a slight wind the days we flew and considering the size of the helicopter we were in. You really get a much different perspective from the air than on the ground. We had to do a hold pattern a couple of times for inbound airport traffic, but that was explained thoroughly as well. Circled around, and came back to the airport for a very smooth touchdown where we were assisted out of the helicopter by the ground crewman again and driven by golf cart back to the office. Pictures of the flight were offered, and the souvenirs were reasonably priced. Wife wasn't sure about another ride, s this was her only experience with this, but I would definitely use them again.

Operator response

We’re especially glad your wife enjoyed her first helicopter ride, and we appreciate your kind words about our pilot’s explanations and the perspective you gained from the air. Safety, clarity, and great views are always our top priorities. Thank you again for flying with us and for recommending us. We’d be honored to welcome you back for another flight whenever you’re ready! 🚁✨

It was great to laugh throughout this experience

This is a great place to experience a helicopter ride. It wasn’t my first but it was my partners and our pilot was amazing and hilarious (he still owes me $10 lol! Inside joke)! Very knowledgable of the area and kept the helicopter steady throughout the entire ride. We give this place 2 thumbs up and 5 stars

Operator response

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re delighted that both you and your partner enjoyed the flight and it sounds like your pilot made it extra memorable (haha, we’ll remind him about that $10 😉 lol ). We’re glad to hear you appreciated his knowledge and smooth flying skills. Two thumbs up and five stars mean the world to us! Hope to see you both again for another great adventure soon.

Amazing Pilot and Crew

I was very fearful at first but the crew and pilot were all amazing. The pilot was very kind and was very informative during flight, including explaining why there was turbulence. I was very impressed and ending up loving riding around Orlando seeing the theme parks in a helicopter. I will definitely return on my next trip.

Great experience

This was fun and informative. Pretty cool. Everyone was very friendly. The pilot was good and explained everything we were flying over, although he could have been a little more exciting as he was very low key

It was an excellent tour around Orlando and theme parks. It was my first helicopter tour. I enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. The pilot was very informative. I can say I will check it off of my bucket list.
