Note

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of activity. Seating on the helicopter is at the discretion of the pilot, based on weight and balance of the aircraft (window seat cannot be guaranteed). The helicopter has a maximum internal payload that must be adhered to, therefore all guest weights must be advised a minimum of 72 hours prior to tour departure. Flight route may vary and the tour's operation is subject to favourable weather conditions. Although little walking is required, some agility is required to get in and out of the aircraft. Guests should be comfortable flying in a light weight aircraft and not suffer from motion sickness. This tour has very limited space and we suggest you book in advance to avoid disappointment.
