Helicopters are cool, but wait...what's an Airvan?
Ready for that flight of a life time? You're probably thinking helicopter, right. Don't start the engine just yet...
A spectacular air tour has four parts: Equipment. Route. Pilot. Price. Most of the time anxious visitors think of only one part- equipment. But remember "If can. Can." So, if you can see more and save more money for other things then...CAN, yah.
If your heart is set on a chopper tour skip down the page. If you are interested in a pretty good deal read on. My Tour Hawaii has singled out top notch, safe, fixed wing flyers that conduct air tours leaving you to ask "How day do dat for da price? Ho brah I coodah even paid cash!"
No trick, just economics as these fixed wing operators leverage bigger fuel tanks and leaner burn rates. Routes get longer making their trip really worth the price. All tours include two-way interactive head sets. The pilots are cool and entertaining- great guides, and if you're still in need of a radical maneuver (nice shot looking straight down) just ask your pilot to perform a steep turn... different than hovering but just as cool.
