What an awesome experience. Hailey was so sweet and picked us up and dropped us at our hotel. Quinn was our pilot and the flight was fantastic. We saw wild life and enjoyed the commentary along the way. I highly recommend this tour. The people are fun and I felt safe at all times.

We did a 30-minute flight and it was fantastic. We went up with Dan, who was both an experienced pilot as well as an entertaining commentator. The staff was very accommodating in enabling us to book our excursion at the last minute, even providing van service to/from our hotel. I highly recommend!
