    Excellent views
    Have taken several boat tours of the same area. They can not match the experience of seeing from the air.

    An outstanding Tour
    We went on Thousand Islands: Helicopter Tour with Cider Mill and Lunch. This was the most amazing tour. The Staff were awesome, the Helicopter Pilot was second to none (the best) and the staff at the Cider Mill were awesome. The pulled porc BBQ nachos were excellent and the various ciders very good. I would definitely recommend this tour.👌👌

    Maiden helicopter flight
    My first flight in a helicopter! I love flying! I have flown in a hot air balloon and all types of small homebuilt and commercial jet aircrafts. The helicopter ride was a different and memorable experience. Bill and the crew were friendly and efficient. We felt safe. I would highly recommend 1000 Islands Helicopter Tours!

    Experience of a lifetime!!!!!
    What an amazing experience!!!! The pilot was great to explain what was going to happen, and interesting things we were spotting along the route. Gave us the opportunity to go around Boldt castle both ways so we both got to see it. They automatically offer to take your photos before getting into the helicopter. Extremely professional and lovely people.

    It Was Fun !
    A very enjoyable overall experience. A little too early for full fall colours, but the timing was for a birthday experience. Wonderful views none the less. Pilot Bill was friendly, engaging and enhanced the experience. We were made to feel very comfortable. Highly recommend.

    Awesomeness activity that you won't soon forget
    We loved it. The region as we had never seen it before. It was also very cool to be able to chat with the pilot, she shared lots of interesting bits of info and showed us cool things. Weather was great so we had amazing visibility.

    Fabulous Experience
    Our lady pilot was so calm and professional any nerves at being in a helicopter disappeared very quickly! Flying sideways is just cool! Seeing the area from the air is breath-taking. A fabulous, unforgettable experience!

    Excellent aerial tour.
    The tour was very nice. The staff was friendly and informative. The pilot was quite skilled and professional as well as making sure the one person in our group who had not been in a helicopter before was comfortable. The views were amazing and the pictures came out great. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is able to take it.

We had a beautiful day to fly over the 1000 Islands. The gentleman who greeted us was very kind & made us feel comfortable while we waited. The pilot too was great & made conservation with my daughters in between telling us info about the area. It was a great experience!

Our trip was smooth and our pilot was extremely knowledgeable. We took our infant and two year old and everyone was extremely sweet and accommodating for them! They made sure we got a family picture by the helicopter without us even having to ask. Highly recommend!

Extraordinary experience in the winter! It was a surprise birthday gift for my husband and I nailed! All the staff was friendly and ease. The pilot made we feel really valued on my husband's birthday! It was such an unforgettable tour.

We really appreciated flying over the Thousand Islands and the Castle and we highly recommend 1000 Islands Helicopter Tours.

It was an incredible experience, must trip in itinerary if you are planning for 1000 islands. It was my wife's Birthday, and I gave her a surprise and I requested Kathy the booking advisor to bring some flowers as a gift and she did, I really appreciate your welcoming Kathy! She brought me a bouquet and placed in helicopter so that I can gift my wife in the tour. So, this added more flavor in my visit. The views from Helicopter was mesmerized and worth viewing from top. My pilot was very friendly and guided everything, I am sorry I forgot her name. Kathy, I really apologize if I miss anything here or when we came there but overall, it was amazing experience and will plan for Boldt castle 20 minutes tour in future. Thanks!

Booked it just one hour beforehand after the boat tour.
It was rainy and cloudy but nonetheless all worthwile.
They said I would be refunded if they deem the weather not ready to fly.
But all worked out and my family took off for the first time in a heli.
Be sure to book the video too!
Ten minutes seems so short but you get to see as much as on the one hour boat trip with a totally different viewpoint.
The trip was back in June 2019 but review does let me select only back to april 22.

We took our children on the 10 minute tour during Spring Break. That format is genius. You get to live the helicopter experience on a budget!!! It might sound short, but it is perfect.
The pilots were extremely accommodating, nice and interesting. We learned a lot about the Thousand Islands. And our children were truly thrilled.
I would recommend then to all my family and friends!

Worth every penny! I did it with my husband last week and weather wasn’t on our side in the beginning so they had to reschedule us! Big shout out to Kathy for helping us to fit in 😀 she went above and beyond to communicate with us (also thank you for the lovely souvenirs).. lovely team and amazing pilot! Definitely will do it again with longer time. Highly recommended! ❤️
