Private Doors-Off Kauai Helicopter: Ultimate Waterfalls & Canyons Review

 Our helicopter tour in Kauai was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, it was an experience we’ll never forget. Felipe, our pilot, was the perfect tour guide so knowledgeable and engaging. He took us to all the iconic spots on the island, pointing out details and sharing stories that made the tour even more special.  We opted for an early morning flight, and while it was pretty chilly high above the mountains, it was totally worth it! The views were breathtaking, especially when we reached the summit of the tallest mountain. Seeing the lush green valleys, cascading waterfalls, and rugged cliffs from above was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re visiting Kauai, this tour is a must-do! We’d do it again in a heartbeat. View Private Doors-Off Kauai Helicopter Tour →

Grand Canyon Helicopter Wedding Review

 We had the most perfect wedding day on Valentine’s Day. The views were incredible, the helicopter was amazing and the wedding was just as we wanted; no pressure and intimate. We laughed, cried and enjoyed every single moment. All staff were great, especially the photographer Tom. The day was everything we hoped for and more. The bouquet was more beautiful than I imagined. We are grateful to have the most amazing memories of a truly special wedding.  View Grand Canyon Helicopter Wedding Tour →

The Manhattan Helicopter Tour of New York Review

 This experience was one of the most if not the most memorable part of our trip to New York. Blessed with great weather, our pilot gave us a brief historical overview of the main attractions and parts of Manhattan and New Jersey as we soared over the big apple. The tour lasts just under 15 minutes but is well worth it! The views and experience is second to none and we could not recommend it highly enough! I only wished it could have lasted longer!

Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight and Optional VIP Transportation Review

 Best Helicopter Tour in Las Vegas. I’ve been going to Vegas for decades. This was one of my favorite things I have ever done there! Seeing the strip from a helicopter was amazing, it looked so beautiful. Can’t say enough about the friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommend this tour – in fact I’ve already booked it again for my next Las Vegas trip. View Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight Tour →

Dubai Helicopter Experience with Sightseeing Options Review

  The longer flight Is good value as the Dubai helicopter tour is very relaxed and you can get a feel for the size of the city and the scale of projects underway.  View Dubai Helicopter Experience Tour →

Helicopter Scenic Flight over Victoria Falls 12-13 minutes Flight Review

 Helicopter ride – Victoria Falls. Great flight over the falls. The safety staff gave a full briefing before we took off and accompanied us to/ onto and off the helicopter after the flight to ensure we were safe.   The helicopter pilot was very informative, we got a fab view of the falls and we even saw elephants in the national park both on the outbound and inbound journeys.   Munashe, the photographer, took some great pictures and video.

50-Minute Glacier Explorer Flight from Queenstown Review

  One of the best experiences in Queensland. From the time they picked us up from the hotel to the time they dropped us off – there is nothing I didn’t like. The staffs were warm, clear, on-time. The pilot was friendly, communicated clearly, helpful.  The view is spectacular. Converting from PHP to NZD might appear expensive but our local helicopter ride costs half when it is only 20 mins… so this 50 min ride is definitely worth it.

Rio de Janeiro: Helicopter flight in Christ the Redeemer Review

 Exceptional experience, don’t miss it! We did the 30 min helicopter tour over Rio de Janeiro in mid February 2025. We chose the 3-people shared flight option so we were joined by a third passenger, which was also fun.  Staff at reception and the  ground crew were all very friendly and helpful while explaining the process and answered all our questions. The pilot was also very friendly.  We also bought the video from the company operating the flight (the video recorded from the helicopter camera) which was fun to see. This way we can actually see ourselves on board on the helicopter, visibly amazed by the view while taking pictures and videos. It was a good choice to purchase the video, to remember this experience and share it with family and friends.  Both the flight operator company and Viator were very helpful all the way through, from booking the package online, to welcoming us on the day, to the actual experience. It was our first helicopter flight, the view over Rio is fantastic. A truly exceptional experience. I strongly recommend it.  Don’t miss it! View Christ the Redeemer Tour →

Epic! Breathtaking! Surreal! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect because I’ve never been in a helicopter before. But it was such a cool experience! Definitely worth it.

Cape Town Helicopter Tour: Atlantic Coast Review

Such an experience!!! AMAZING!!!!!!! The view was amazing and nothing compares to this experience! We couldn’t make our reserved time and we contacted the company and they were so nice and flexible and fit us in for another one in the same day!! It was so nice of them since they really had a lot of scheduled customers waiting in the lobby but were very accommodating. View Cape Town Helicopter Tour →

Sydney Harbour Scenic Helicopter Flight Review

  Amazing Helicopter Ride!!! I got picked up at one of the two hotel options to meet at and the driver was so nice! The experience was so awesome. My pilot was super cool and and knowledgeable. I went to Watson’s Bay and ate at Doyle’s because of his recommendation.  Thank you so much! I was going to do another ride but was booked up probably because of the great service you receive!
