It is an amazing experience and if you are afraid of heights you’ll be fine you’re not that high in the air.

Operator response

Thanks yes, I agree it doesn't seem that high, just high enough for you to get the great views! So glad you had a good experience!

Best experience

I had an amazing experience with Anthelion Helicopters! It was my first helicopter ride and definitely unforgettable. The views were insane and seeing the coastline and city from above was something I’ve never experienced before. The ride felt smooth and safe the whole time. Our pilot was super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Check in was easy and organized. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience or planning something special.

Operator response

Thank you for your review, and that's great to hear. Thank you for the recommendation.
