This is your chance to experience a pure adrenaline rush as your instructor shows you the maneuverability of a modern helicopter - sideways, backwards, round in circles and then the tricky test of concentration and skill - the hover. Then it s your turn to take the controls, climb away, take a look at the countryside, then come back down to earth for low-level flying (and we mean low!) and to see if you can handle the hover.
After an introductory briefing, you will take to the skies with your instructor who will show you how to control the helicopter. Then you will have the chance to take the controls for the majority of the flight, giving you a chance to experience what flying a helicopter is all about. A certificate of achievement is presented, signed by your instructor, upon your return.

I had an incredible time on the helicoper flight couldn't believe it when I managed to get it to go backwards! The instructor was really helpful and I felt really proud of myself when I took over the helicopter controls and finally got it to hover!

I can't recommend the 30 minute helicopter flight enough. Seriously. It was awesome. And loud. The helicopter was VERY loud. At first I couldn't believe I was actually in control of the helicopter but the pilot was really supportive when I was a bit nervous to begin with. There were only two small problems: the day itself was a bit overcast and the 30 mins just flew by.
