What an experience! Bought for my husbands birthday and he loved it! Very informative friendly pilot. Went into a lot of detail about what we were seeing! I did feel the staff doing the briefings etc could have been a bit more informative, I felt a bit confused as to whether we were to go down to the take off site or not, could have been a bit clearer and better organised but all in all an excellent day!

The flight was awesome, but we had difficulty booking initially. Having to pay money before we could confirm a date. Also took a print of the voucher as told in instructions, but it was the wrong voucher. This needs to be much clearer.

My first experience in a helicopter was amazing. Really well organised with full safety briefing beforehand. Having climbed Snowdonia 3 weeks earlier it was amazing to see it from the air. The Riverside Hotel in Betws-y-coed was a stunning location and 27 degrees the day, couldn’t have been a better location for the helipad. Super exciting day with photo to purchase at the end.

Superb experience. Pilot was very informative and mostly correct in his descriptions. I would highly recommend this experience to others. I look forward to a flight from the same location perhaps over a slightly different route again in the near future. All on board were highly satisfied and it was a very successful day all round. See you again soon.

Wonderful experience - the route could possibly be refined to take in more of the features visible from the air (eg. narrow-gauge railways, Port Meirion, Electric Mountain, Gelert's Grave. Some form of route-map for the passenger showing terrain would be a great help - to highlight points deserving attention and showing pathway in relation to eg. Menai Straits. I know Snowdonia very well but from the air it must be daunting to the visitor and this would greatly improve their experience by showing them what a vast terrain was being covered and where features were situated.
