Helicopter Services and Pricing

Helicopter tours may include up to 3 guests, no more than 275lbs per seat, and a maximum of 600lbs may not be exceeded with all 3 guests.  Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and no children under age 4 will be permitted.

All private tours are made by appointment only and done seven days a week when schedule permits.  All scheduled tours may be cancelled at any time due to inclement weather, but will be rescheduled when weather permits.

Helicopter flights will be billed $875.00 per hour with a $500.00 minimum.

All fights after 2:000p.m. on Saturdays, all day Sundays, holidays, and holiday weekends are subject to a price increase.

All deposits made for flights occurring after 2:00pm on Saturdays must be cancelled completely on the Friday prior in order to receive a full refund.  If a flight is cancelled on the day of event for any reason by client or due to weather, only 50% will be returned.

This is due to the fact that a pilot still has to be on staff in order to take flight if weather permits.
