Words from Our Guests
" Never been in a helicopter before, but this was one of the best experiences of my life! Our pilot, Paige, was super friendly, explained everything as it was happening, and gave me an AMAZING experience by letting me take part in controlling some of the flight - definitely recommend the Discovery add-on! I'd love to do this again if I visit the area in the future, and will be talking it up to family and friends! "

St Simons Island Tour
" A perfect way to celebrate a special occasion! We have done a helicopter tour and most recently a discovery flight (mini-flight lesson). All the staff have been excellent, made us feel very safe- lots of “checks” and careful attention to detail. There’s nothing like seeing our favorite island from a helicopter view! Spectacular! "
