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.

I recently took a 10-minute helicopter tour over the Thousand Islands, and the experience was stunning. The aerial view of the islands was breathtaking, with lush greenery and blue waters stretching as far as the eye could see. Even though the flight was brief, it offered a unique perspective that made it a memorable trip. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a quick but impactful way to see the beauty of the Thousand Islands from above.

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.

I took the ten minute tour with my two young grandkids {6 and 9}. The kids were excited and nervous to go up but Phil kept talking about what we were looking at and we all relaxed. It seemed longer than ten minutes. It was a nice addition to our annual road trip.

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!
