Great experience and well organised. Only slight negative was booked an "all inclusive helicopter tour" but had an email the day before saying I'd need to pay an additonal $40 per person fee on the day.

fab views, informative commentary from pilot. felt safe. should have been notified that fees for helipad would need to be paid on the day in addition to the booking fee. 80 dollars extra, should have been better explained in the booking process
