The helicopters were ready, waiting and super clean. Our pilot gave us a safety briefing and we were off. The mountains and lakes are beyond beautiful, and our pilot seemed completely calm and comfortable the whole time. I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone of any age.”

We were unable to fly on our scheduled day due to weather conditions, but everyone at Sky was extremely accommodating. Our flight was magical and we even got to land at Widgeon Lake up in the mountains for some rock throwing for the girls! Would highly recommend and we can’t wait to visit again and fly with Sky!”
