Overview Ushuaia and region

A DREAM!
He's never been in a helicopter and now I'd be flying him. Gabriela, very kind, everything impeccable, the preparation for the flight and the flight itself. Both the ascent and the descent, very smooth. The pilot was very kind, explaining everything. If I had the resources, I would go again. It's expensive, but it's worth it!!!!

Amazing experience!
Absolutely amazing experience, flying close to the mountain range to enter into the valley of wetlands. Nicolas was our super friendly pilot, providing the necessary heli flying skills as well as some interesting explanation on the landscape. We would recommend this activity for sure when visiting Ushuaia!
