Do it lady! - Such an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!! If you're in any doubt whether to do this or not, DO IT!!!! We originally had booked the shortest ride, but upgraded to the next on the list. After getting out, we both said we would do some saving to experience the whole ride. What a thrill! 10/10 would do this again and again. The staff were all super friendly and the pilot was informative.

So fun!! - I'm a "helicopter mom" lol and their safety briefing made us feel completely at ease. There was a video when we first arrived and they talked about the rules again when we walked out to the helicopter
