Can I take photographs/videos?
Yes – we just ask that you don’t do so while loading/unloading the helicopter for safety reasons.

What should we wear?
There is no need for any special clothing for the tour flights – the helicopter has a heater and vents to control the temperature.

All our aircraft are rigorously maintained and our pilots are very safety conscious – we do not fly aggressively or in a dangerous manner.
