Fantastic!!

I took my 9 yr old grandson for his 1st ride in a helicopter yesterday. What a fantastic experience with Heli Co. We couldn’t have asked for a better pilot as Marika was such a pleasure to fly with. She was very informative of the city sights and her interaction with my grandson was appreciated. The ear protection (headsets) allowed for communication between us all. We could also hear the New Orleans airport air traffic communication during the tour. The helicopter was very cleaned and appeared very well maintained (my background is helicopter maintenance). The tour of New Orleans was an incredible experience. To see to the city from such a great view within the helicopter was amazing. My grandson and I would highly recommend Marika and Heli Co for a very enjoyable view from above of the city of New Orleans!

Booked the birthday package to surprise my boyfriend, he got to choose a gift and we got to take pictures with a happy birthday sign. 10/10 experience, we both had fun and had beautiful views of the city.

Spur of the moment date

This was a spur of the moment thing and we had such a great time. The pilot was informative, and it was a smooth ride! The staff was super helpful and kind. We definitely plan on going again!

Awesome experience, very fair price!!

Lina is a spectacular pilot. If you’ve never taken a ride in a helicopter before ( I had not) she will put you at ease, and you’ll feel so much more comfortable with the experience. Ten out of ten definitely recommend!!

Operator response

Thank you for flying with us, and for the five-star review! So happy to hear you had a wonderful experience.
