  • Great fun!

    We were delighted with the beautiful views as well as the smooth ride. This was our first helicopter ride but we plan to be repeat riders whenever we get the chance. Mike, the pilot, made the whole experience most enjoyable. Thanks!

  • Helicopter Ride Over Destin, Florida

    We really enjoyed our helicopter ride over Destin. Our pilot was a young lady who was a very good pilot, It was my husband's 78th birthday and the flight was birthday gift from our daughter.

  • Worth every penny!

    Long story short, the helicopter ride is worth every penny! I did the intro tour (5 mins) and it was definitely enough to get the adrenaline flowing! Beautiful views, competent and fun pilot, feeling like you're flying, and OH THE SHARKS AND DOLPHINS!! Very very cool, lots of fun, don't miss it!

  • Helicopter RIDE!

    This was a great ride. We did the "shark run" which lasted about 15 minutes. We wish we had done the ultimate package with longer time riding. I strongly suggest it. The pilot was very nice and informative.

  • Fun Ride!! Mike was a great pilot, Kim was great on the ground too. Very "down to earth" environment. They were very accommodating and interested in our well-being. Would definitely do again when we're in town.
