Did this for our wedding anniversary celebration and it was a super good experience! Highly recommended. We felt safe throughout the flight. Our flight was also smooth, take off, on air, and landing. The views were stunning! Spectacular from mountain views, islands, cityscape. Whether you are solo, a couple, or with children I think it's good experience and worth the price.

Not 5-star because pilot says nothing to tell you what you’re looking at. Decent value for the price.
