How to prepare?

  • Weather dependency: This experience is weather dependent and routes are subject to change due to weather. 
  • Arrival: Check in time for your flight is 60 minutes prior to your scheduled departure. Please understand that your check in time is required to ensure you are prepared for your flight and a safety briefing will be given at that time. Late arrivals are subject to a reduction in flight time and/or full cancellation of flight.
  • Parking: There is parking available at the airport.
  • What to wear: Your choice of clothing depends on whether you book a doors-on or doors-off tour. For a doors-on tour, the temperature aboard the helicopter is very comfortable during flights-t-shirts and shorts are just fine. However, if you choose a doors-off tour, your flight will be windy and cold so jackets and/or sweatshirts are required and long pants are recommended. Closed toed shoes are also required for doors-off tours. Please note that hats are not allowed on board your flight. Your hat might blow off your head and fly up into the rotors and that is very unsafe. You may leave any hats in the office during our flight. Lastly, for anyone with long hair a hair tie is required to put up your hair so you don’t get what we call “helicopter hair,” which is not fun afterwards! Policy states that you will not be able to board a doors-off flight without a jacket or sweatshirt and closed toed shoes, so be sure to remember to dress warm!
  • What to bring: Valid photo ID for check-in and gratuity for your pilot if you enjoy the tour.
  • Restrooms/ lockers/ changing rooms: Restrooms are available at the airport, but there are no lockers or changing rooms.
