Fly high above Toronto-it was exhilarating!

I highly recommend. We saw the Toronto Islands, ROM, CN tower, downtown, Imax, beautiful scenery. Impressive piloting. Great Staff. Superb communication. Felt safe. The smoothest ride and the most smooth landing.

First helicopter ride with my heart.

Give extra time to get there if traveling with car since there is a wait for the ferry ⛴️ ride to cross over to the parking lot.

Toronto From a Whole New Perspective

Outstanding experience! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. This was my second helicopter ride, but I found this one much more interesting. Seeing Toronto from above really gives you a sense of just how vast the city is. I could even see the EdgeWalkers on the CN Tower! It was really easy to get to, and the free shuttle back to the station afterwards was super helpful. Definitely recommend it!

Great way to see the city .

Amazing views. Great experience, probably once in a lifetime for us. Nice photos too. For those first time in a helicopter, really nothing to worry about.

Punctual and well...

Punctual and well organized. Make sure you come about 45 minutes early( 15 mins for ferry and 30 minutes for pre boarding video ) so that you have time to take the ferry ⛴️ to the departures area incase you plan to use Ferry. But it’s very easy and free.

Tour cancelled

We had 6 six hours to spare between flights from Pearson airport. We booked this tour to fill those hours. On the morning of our helicopter tour I WhatsApped the tour company to keep them informed of our flight. Got no reply from them. After landing at Pearson and then getting an Uber that cost $60 to the heli meeting point, with 1 hour left before our helicopter trip the company Whatsapped me and told me they have cancelled our tour. We then had to pay another $60 back to Pearson airport. Please don't book with this company. This is the worst treatment I have ever received from a tour company. We're $120 out of pocket all because they couldn't be bothered to let us know earlier that they were cancelling our tour.
