I LOVE helicopter rides, and this one did not disappoint! It was fascinating seeing all the volcanic ash and hear the stories about the eruptions, living there would be terrifying to me, but the people are resilient, for sure... We passed over beautiful waterfalls and running streams - as well as travelling along the beautiful coastline. They are always too short, but definitely worth the money!

I came for the views, but I stayed because the pilot didn’t lose us! Seriously, our pilot Ryan was amazing—part tour guide, part comedian, part superhero. He kept us entertained, pointed out incredible sights, and somehow managed not to fly into any mountains. The helicopter stayed in the air the entire time, which exceeded my expectations! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the ride was smoother than my morning coffee. If you’re thinking about a helicopter tour, do yourself a favor and book this one. Just be warned: every other tour afterward will be disappointing.
