The crew at Hilton Head Helicopter Tours were great. Blake and Nestor went through all the paperwork and made our reservation for the following morning. Once we arrived it was a safety brief and walked us through on their scale map what to expect and see on our tour. Then off for some pre flight photos and on board our R44 helicopter. 47 years at Delta Air Lines and had never been in a helicopter it was a great experience. David our pilot was very knowledgeable, explained the R44 helicopter to us and was a great guide around the island. Blake, Nestor and David made our 45th anniversary a special occasion. Highly recommend this group and as a side note my BIL has flown with this group 3 times with great experiences.

"Awesome Adventure!"

My husband is difficult to buy gifts for so I thought this was something he would finally be impressed with. Well, I hit a home run! He absolutely loved it. Being a charter boat captain he knows a lot about the area and its waters, but seeing it all from above was AMAZING. We did the Island Adventure Tour and it was the perfect fit for our first helicopter ride/tour. Great Staff. Highly Recommend!
