"Fun experience highly recommend!"

Reviewed June 07, 2025 NEW

This was so fun. Easy check in and we could modify our trip at check in. Our pilot was super friendly and knowledgeable. He communicated well about take off and what to expect. He saw some dolphins so he circled around so we could see them. So neat to see the island from the air.
