Best Trip - I was with my daughter and with the pilot for a hour tour. The most memorable part was learning about how we saw the biggest islands and you can live all year round on some of the islands. This is a second time here, we were here before 3 or 4 years ago and we enjoyed it so much then we came back again! The scenery and the peacefulness is amazing, it is the perfect get away to relax and explore. We saw Boldt castle as well. Amazing job and very well done!

The BEST way to see the islands - O.M.G. Riding a helicopter over the islands was amazing! You can see the castles, you can see a sunken ship, you can see it all! Our pilot was great! She told us lots of information about the area and answered our 1000 questions we bombarded her with! The lady at the office was also a wealth of information! I’d recommend this tour over and over!

Incredible experience! Don't miss it! - Absolutely loved it!!! It was our first time in a helicopter and it was absolutely surreal. The scenery was incredible in the 1000 islands, our pilot was superb in describing various islands and telling stories about the bootlegger and shipwreck past. We would definitely do it again! By the way, everything was amazing from end to end, from the point of purchase through to the after-flight care. Two thumbs up!

Guided tour in French - The flight was perfect and allowed us to see the thousand islands
The pilot and the person who welcomed us were very kind
I had asked for a guided tour in French and it was very average because the aircraft did not work well and the pilot did not speak French at all
