Once in a lifetime
What a wonderful experience. My friend had never flown in a helicopter. She felt so safe at all times. From the minute we booked there was clear helpful communication to the professional pick up. The flight was smooth, a beautiful sunny day with interesting commentary. Landing on the Remarkable's to enjoy a toast, a once in a lifetime experience. Wonderful staff in all areas of the experience including a local pilot.
