Had a wonderful time. Jake our pilot was so kind to go over preflight instructions, headsets and life vest if needed. We flew over the city and Jake pointed out great places to visit and attractions. ALSO, I booked online. J Kenneth though online chat answered all question quickly.
We were in town a day early before heading out on a cruise. We had no rental car so we were just using a ride serivce. We booked a time, headed out to the venue and noticed the weather was looking a bit Tampa-ish for the afternoon. Just as we were dropped off the organizers said we were just getting ready to call you. The weather is looking bad. Long story short rather than cancelling on us we waited around for a while to see if it would clear up enough to fly. While we waited we were treated to champagne and chocolates. It cleared up and we set off for the field. When we got to the helicopter they asked if we wanted the doors off saying that was the best way to experience the flight. Well of course we went without doors and it was amazing. These guys could have simply just told us that flights were cancelled but they didn't. They could have not mentioned anything about doors off and we would have never known. We had a great time and everyone was so helpful and accomodating! Next time were in Tampa I'm going to budget for a much longer flight with this company. YOU SHOULD BOOK WITH NO THOUGHTS OR WORRIES. They really are this good a group of guys. Safety first, and as someone with a little bit of small aircraft knowledge I can appreciate all that they are doing.
we had an amazing time it was so much fun! we booked right around sunset and it was absolutely beautiful. the tour guide showed us some cool spots, was very knowledgeable and VERY cool. matched our vibe completely. he even took the golf cart out for us because my friends foot was sprained. 100% will do again!
Good Experience, but too short, the flight was just 10 minutes and the price is a little high, but the experience was great
We loved the experience, the pilot was great, it was so fun and beautiful that we’ll definitely be coming back!!!!
One word to describe it: FANTASTIC!!! The helicopter flight beat all expectations. It was our 1 year anniversary and I wanted to do something special and this was a stunner. She was floored! She absolutely loved it and so did I. The pilot was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We wanted to see the Christmas lights around Tampa and didn't consider Busch Gardens. The pilot knew where to take us and even did a couple of circles around our house to see it from the air. We had a blast! I give this tour my highest recommendation and hope everyone has as great an experience as we did. We plan on making this tour an annual anniversary event. My complements to the pilot and many thanks for making the flight a memorable experience.
This was an amazing helicopter ride that took you through Davis Islands, downtown, Ray Jay Stadium, Hyde Park and over the Bay and we were even able to see one of the large cruise ships leaving the dock. Andre was amazing and had lots of fun facts about the city. We felt very safe every moment of the tour. would definitely recommend.
An absolutely unforgettable experience! I came from Holland to spend 10 days on vacation in Tampa and live a helicopter tour with this prestigious company exceeded all my expectations. The driver, a true professional, was incredibly attentive, helpful and conveyed total confidence from the first minute. Flying over Tampa from the heights, with clear explanations and such close treatment, made the flight one of the best moments of my trip. If you are looking for a unique and safe experience, feel free to book with them. ✨🚁An Air Experience You Can’t Miss
Incredible experience! The flight over Tampa was breathtaking — we saw Davis Island, Bayshore Blvd, downtown, and even Raymond James Stadium from above. The pilot was professional and friendly, and the views were unforgettable. Highly recommend adding the extra time or the doors-off option for an even more amazing adventure!
