5 passengers or 6 passengers (depends on the weight and size of the passengers). Our fleet of charter helicopters accommodate a variety of group sizes
Our helicopters were chosen for their spaciousness, comfort, and reliability. They're as fun to ride as they are to fly, and all of our helicopters are the quietest available in their respective classes.
Surprisingly, most people that do experience airsickness on planes do not have the same negative experience on helicopters, reporting that they were more comfortable than they ever expected. And our expert pilots have years of experience in making your flight as comfortable and exciting as possible. However, if you are particularly prone to motion sickness an anti-motion sickness medication is a good idea.
Give us a call and let us know the details of your proposed adventure or tour, and our crew will work with you to plan the perfect outing.
No, we do not have a set schedule. Helicopter tours are established solely upon your request of tour area, day and time. We will fly any tour anytime at your request, weather permitting. We suggest you book (reserve) your flight in advance to ensure availability. All of our tours offer an excellent view, and at any flight time whether its morning or afternoon should be fantastic.
Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Dark shirts or tops are recommended when taking photos. Bright colored clothing may put a reflective glare on the helicopter’s plexiglass windows and reflect in your photos. Dark clothing helps to eliminate the reflection. Our climate control system keeps our helicopters at a comfortable temperature for the entire flight.
Ladies, please wear flatter shoes.
Hats or bags are not allowed to be worn in or around the helicopters as they can fly up into the rotors and damage the aircraft. We will be happy to hold any hats or bags for you until you return from your tour.
