tripadvisorThe tour helicopters were the small trainer helicopters. We knew this going in but it lists being able to sit three people plus the pilot. Since that was the number of people we had, that was just fine. I mean a helicopter is a helicopter.... right? Wrong. When we got there we were told that due to weight distribution on this tiny helicopter we were all unable to go and one of us would have to stay behind. Just for accuracy, I am 235, my dad is 210 and my wife is 160. I wouldn't say we were a large overly heavy set of people, but apparently we would throw the weight forward on the chopper and they wouldn't be able to back up if needed. So my wife stayed behind. As my dad and I were in the helicopter I would have loved a pilot who knew the area better and who would have been a bit of a better guide. Then towards the end of our trip we really would have loved to flown over our house in sisters, but the flight plan seemed set and the pilot did not deviate from it. I can understand most of these things happening but the whole experience did not seem consumer friendly .
MoreThe process was very easy, very friendly. Nick, our pilot was extremely professional, taking us through every stage of what he was doing. The flight itself was amazing.It all really couldn't have been any better. I HIGHLY recommend this company.
MoreFantastic experience with a professional pilot. Such a wonderful flight with spectacular views. Our pilot was Jackson who was just awesome.
MoreThe views were amazing and the closest you will ever get to the mountain ranges. It was an experience my wife and I will remember for many years. Much different experience than in an airplane. You can travel at much slower speeds to get really nice pictures
MoreGreat sunset trip. Charlie our pilot was fantastic and there is nothing better than flying in a helicopter. Breath taking Central Oregon scenery from the air gives you an incredible perspective. We loved every minute. Highly recommend!
