    $29 ride only lasts a couple minutes - UNDERSTANDABLE. The cost is reasonable…read more But when it's not advertised anywhere that single riders will have to buy two tickets is deceiving, especially when I was looking to do one of the middle tier flights. Drove all the way over here to be told it'll be double the cost because I came by myself. Could've been fixed with transparency and I honestly may have just paid for the two tickets.

    This is the "home of the $30 helicopter ride". That ride is 1-2 minutes long. They just take you…read moreout to the beach and back really fast. Not really worth it. We got the next one up which was $49 called the north tour...however, the prices are a bit deceptive. They add in a "fuel surcharge" for each flight. It was $5 for this flight. Our flight lasted 7 minutes from takeoff to touchdown. It was fun. It was neat to see the beach from the sky so close. But it was also really fast. They try to upcharge you for headsets and getting a photo with your phone on the landing pad under the chopper. It's a bit intimidating if you've never been on a helicopter walking under the rotating blades that are very loud and jarring. Please be aware of this with children. Plus anywhere past the doors is extremely dangerous and deadly due to the rear rotor. Keep ahold of your babies please. The ride is a bit shaky and once you go up you're there until you come back so make sure those bladders are empty!! I think that the long tours that take 45 minutes would be a bit too much. I bet the 15 minute tours would be ideal. They have a 300lbs per person limit which doesn't make sense. My buddy was 11 pounds off the limit. The guy in front of us was 305. His girlfriend went up without him. I probably had 100lbs on her. Their combined weight would have been less than our combined weight so I'm not sure why they wouldn't let him go up. They also act like the pilots work on tips....it's mentioned everywhere including the cockpit. I asked what a good tip was and they said 20%. I guess everyone needs a tip these days...remind me to tip my pharmacist next time I pick up a prescription. All in all I think it's worth a quick ride if you've never been in a chopper.
