We went with our grandson on a helicopter ride over Gatineau and Ottawa , for a New Years special event. What a wonderful experience. Our pilot Iliane was very informative, helpful, reviewed all safety items with us, and even helped take some photos. The Gatineau Airport is small, informal. Lots of Cessna planes dotting the area. We learned about the Aviation College that operates from there, with students from all parts of the world. Flying over this part of Canada, taking in the views across the rivers, with a sprinkling of snow on the windshield was a memorable venture we recommend. Thanks, Iliane!

Organized the flight for my husband's birthday. Our pilot, Iliane, contacted me to suggest changing to the next day as the weather would be better. Suggestion was much appreciated as Saturday had snow storm and Sunday had beautifully clear sunny sky. Iliane was great pilot and gave us an education on how the helicopter worked. Views over Ottawa and Gatineau were amazing. Took lots of pictures and videos. My husband sat up front and got great videos. Would absolutely do this again but in the fall next time to see the changing of the leaves.

How long is the entire helicopter ride?
Are there any safety concerns? I booked this for my parents who are over 65.
