Arrived in good time for my flight, however there was an issue with the weather, and we were delayed. It then seemed other guests were arriving and going ahead of my group. We were kept waiting over an hour whilst this went on. Why? No explanation was given. It was really frustrating to say the least. I asked someone for an update, he said two minutes and disappeared! Never to be seen again. When we did eventually fly, it was very good thanks to the pilot.
Thoroughly enjoyed my flight and the pilot was very caring as I think he could see I was nervous. My only complaint would be having 4 of us squashed in the back making movement to see outside at different angles almost impossible. Also more time in the helicopter and less on the mountain. We could have then travelled a little further and seen more of Mount Tamsin.

We’re delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your first helicopter flight and that our pilot helped you feel comfortable and reassured throughout the journey. Making our guests feel safe and looked after is extremely important to us. We appreciate your feedback regarding the seating and viewing opportunities. front seating arrangements are allocated based on strict weight and balance requirements to ensure the safe operation of the aircraft.
