Incredible experience! Don't miss it! - Absolutely loved it!!! It was our first time in a helicopter and it was absolutely surreal. The scenery was incredible in the 1000 islands, our pilot was superb in describing various islands and telling stories about the bootlegger and shipwreck past. We would definitely do it again! By the way, everything was amazing from end to end, from the point of purchase through to the after-flight care. Two thumbs up!

Coolest experience - The views were incredible and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It was fantastic and I would absolutely do it again. It was a little cloudy/foggy at 10 am when we took off but it cleared up as we went along. Next time I would probably book a little later in the day

Great views and brilliant fall colours! - My wife and i went for our 10th anniversary. We went late in the day and had gorgeous views of the islands (and fall colours!) during out flight. Our pilot was knowledgable and provided a great narration of the whole flight. Being a fixed wing pilot, flying is not new to me, but this was my first time in a helicopter and it was super cool! The price is fairly steep, but thats aviation. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thanks for a great experience.

Guided tour in French - The flight was perfect and allowed us to see the thousand islands
The pilot and the person who welcomed us were very kind
I had asked for a guided tour in French and it was very average because the aircraft did not work well and the pilot did not speak French at all
