Perspective - What an amazing experience. Michael was personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He provided a helicopter tour that you hoped wouldn’t end. Incredible views of arches and the changing terrain while he expertly handled our chopper. The real takeaway is the perspective. You aren’t getting that from the ground. Best money we have spent in a while. Highly recommend.

Very good short tour - My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The pilot was very professional, while interacting with us in a friendly manner. He was quite knowledgeable and was able to show us things we wouldn’t have been able to see from an airplane. Only complaint we have was the tour only lasted 20 minutes, and we weren’t ready to stop.

Pictures/Video hardly do justice - We had an amazingly wonderful time with Tracy as our pilot and Amanda as our Guest Relations guru! Make time to do a helicopter tour of the back country of canyons outside of Moab, UT. I’d say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience but I’m sure we’ll be back to do another flight!
