Nice experience
Great experience. Good pickup service. We expected to be in the helicopter together and not with another couple. For 10 minutes it's a nice price. Then you can expect that you do it together and not crammed with his four in the helicopter. (I was in the back in the middle, a real shame)

Punta Cana Runners adventures helicopter tour
Fabulous helicopter tour, the first time for my wife and our (nearly 3 year old) son. Really lovely staff and the helicopter pilot seemed very experienced and gave a lovely tour of the coast and some inland areas.

Great fun
Great experience, pick up was on time ,staff very helpful & place was very clean .
Pilot was great & pointed out things and flew over our hotel .
Only one thing I could add is there was no photo opportunities next to the helicopter & no one offered to take pictures.
Ive done a helicopter trip before over dubai and they took photos & also used our phones to take pictures of us next to the helicopter.
However this view was stunning
