“We had the 30 Minute flight and it was fantastic. We were luck to be the only 2 in the helicopter, so we got a private flight for the price of a group flight. The pilot gave us some explanations abiut the different places we saw. There is a row in the back with 4 seats and in front a seat next to the pilot. The 2 seats in the back next to the windows on the right and ledt side are the best seats. An expensive trip but it‘s worth the money.”
