- Lucie M0 contributionsGreat First ExperienceGreat first experience piloting a helicopter. The pilot Joseph was excellent, allowing to really feel what this is all about. Not that easy but very enjoyable. Thank you,Written October 16, 2024
- VickeyH800 contributionsEnlighteningThank you so much to Helicraft and my instructor James for an unforgettable experience. Flying a helicopter is harder than it looks. It's like trying to keep a basketball from spinning in the air; it requires attention and a lot of gentle TLC. I loved the experience and the sensation of flying in the aircraft. I highly recommend Helicraft and especially, the Discovery flight.Written October 2, 2024
- IsraelOtiniano19850 contributionsa world class experienceeverything was perfect, even details like punctuality and the pilot's friendly. 10/10. At experience itselft was great, beautiful spot in MagogWritten September 10, 2024
- chadnixon10 contributionsPilot experience - R22Experience was excellent. Very professional and thorough: initial classroom briefing, safety demo and instruction, then finally to the full flight experience. Pilot instructor was calm, clear and collaborative. Gave clear instructions and made it a lot of fun. I got to take the controls and, with assistance, got the full experience of what it is like to pilot the aircraft. Hovering was a particularly fun challenge! The only disappointment is that the time passed so rapidly in the R22. But with weight and fuel, the only option for more time is to go up to the R44. I would still recommend this to anyone who wishes to get a taste of helicopter piloting. I would recommend this to anyone wishing toWritten September 4, 2024

They seemed genuinely pleased to see us, were very friendly and happy to take photos of us with the Heli prior to our flight.

- Natandjaan0 contributionsGreat experience, even for a Montreal nativeWe recently did the tour of Montreal as a special occasion we were celebrating. We had two helicopters that flew in tandem and this allowed us to get some great shots of the choppers in the air. Even as Montrealers that know the city, the helicopter tour gave us a new perspective seeing all our favorite sites from a Birds Eye view. We loved it!Written December 20, 2023

Thanks to Melvin for this fabulous helicopter ride over Montreal! An intense 30-minute experience, to do at least once in your life, so magnificent! We really enjoyed the view from the sky from a new angle on this superb city, its different neighborhoods and their buildings, always accompanied by interesting comments from our pilot! A great time for a couple of French tourists like us and on Valentine's Day too!

I received an helicopter tour with a training driving it and it was exceptionnal. Everyone from the reception to the pilot were magnificent. They take the time to explain everything and make sure you feel welcome and happy to be there. From the guy that explained me the helicopter before the flight to the pilot, evrything was perfect, a note of 20/10!! I absolutely loved my experience and intend to do it again!

The Tour per se is quiet nice. Since about 40 mn from Montréal center by car, the hotel called them to reserve but they said they had many tours that day , just come along, in reality, as I went there the same day midday, it was said there was nothing until 7pm or next day, so I booked for next day which was not great considering the two return trips expensive even by uber.
Furtheremore, the payment was done by credit card by the receptionist manualy inserting all my credit card datas in his computer which I did not like but since the person making the registration (one of the employed pilots) said they had no card reader , he said it was not possible otherwise. I did not like it but the place appears serious.
Furthermore, he asked me my ID and took a photo without asking me with his smartphone which I requested him to delete right away from photos (and deleted files in the phone) which he did.
I found it very umprofessional to risk privacy datas from my credit card and privacy datas from my ID (realy dangerous combination of datas). Since it is the only place I ever used my cedit card that way , I reported this to the hotel telling me that this should not have been requested from the helicopter company ( expensive flights but they dont have money for a credit card reader !!!) .

What a wonderful experience! Our initial booking for the previous day had to be postponed due to bad weather but the team was very accommodating. There was a slight language barrier as our pilot's English proficiency was limited, but it absolutely did not detract from the beauty of the day.
As the venue is located a bit of a distance from the main island we waited for a long time for our Uber (who eventually canceled on us), but one of the pilots on duty was so amazingly helpful in helping us get back to downtown (thanks Louis).

We had an outstanding experience with the team at Helicraft. We were rescheduled due to bad weather the day prior and the team were fantastic in terms of their communication & flexibility to find us 2x times the following day as we were departing that day. The flight itself was excellent and our pilot did an awesome job with our kids and showing us the sights of Montréal. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

My sister and I booked this experience as part of our Formula One race experience package, and it did not disappoint! Our pilot was friendly and pointed out some great sites during the ride, and we felt safe through the entire flight. It was such a cool experience to see Montreal and the F1 circuit from this view!

As Montreal locals, we really enjoyed getting a new perspective on the city. The Helicraft team and the pilot were professional while being friendly.
They made us feel very safe, which was a big thing, going into one of those small flying glass balls!
Highly recommend this tour,

It was fantastic and the perfect day to go. Visibility was amazing (both weather wise and also inside the helicopter (the windows were large and totally clean). Safety was a high priority and yet we felt at ease and the pilot (who was great) took time to take a picture for us. Highly recommend this!

Nice weather, gentle and experienced ploit make the perfect helicopter trip over Montreal. The pilot called me 30 mins ahead to explain the wind could make the trip a little bit bumpy. And He give me the option to reschedule if i did not feel comfortable. When we arrived, the preparation process is very short and professional. Get everything ready and fly. It is a 30 mins amazing view from the sky to watch Montreal. So far It is the best tour i have in Montreal. I definitely will do it again during summer!

It depends on the helicopter you choose. Ours handled 3 passengers in addition to the pilot. They have bigger helicopters as well.
