A different and experience. Rachel the pilot was perfectly fine and gave a sense of security. Megan the receptin girl works with tourists and should make an effort to be nicer and more helpful.

this company is very professional, friendly and we felt totally safe. The weather was closing in on Franz Joseph so we wouldn’t be able to land. We took the option of the 35 minute flight and we were all so very happy that we did. Our pilot was excellent and she was very knowledgeable. It was the best take off and landing that I’ve ever done in a helicopter.
