Affordable views that are incredible! - It’s really incredible! Stunning views from a glass bubble essentially floating above sky. It doesn’t say on booking, but trip is about 15 minutes. No wait time, we were early and they took us right up! Comfortable ride with 2 cup holders and spot for a small bag. There’s optional opening vents on helicopter so airflow is nice. Worth the $

Wonderful experience - We were able to book the flight at very short notice and the service was excellent. The pilot explained everything worth seeing on the 20-minute sightseeing flight. It was a wonderful experience to see the island world from above. Thank you very much.

Very worthwhile outing! - We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The location just out of Gananoque was easy to find. The reception area was spacious and clean. All the personnel we met were courteous and accommodating. The helicopter was clean and seemed to be in excellent shape. Pilot was informative and calm. The views were amazing. An aerial overview gives you such a good perspective of the islands, and river. Twenty minutes was just right for us. We bought some tshirts there, had pictures taken and left happy. Would recommend highly.

Boldt Castle Scenic Tour - We were celebrating an anniversary and 1000 Islands Helicopter Tour over Boldt Castle and along the St. Lawrence was just perfect! We took pictures before our departure and the tour was informative and an excellent way to get a different perspective of the 1000 Islands from above. The view is spectacular and our pilot Mitch was excellent. I would highly recommend :)
