My husband and I did the wine tour and it was one of the best experiences ever. Martine, our pilot is an extremely nice person who is also very professional. As this was my first experience in a helicopter, she always made sure we were confortable at all times. It was a very smooth and pleasant ride on a beautiful sunny day.
All three wineries we visited made us feel very special and gave an excellent service. We had the opportunity to sample a wide range of wines. We enjoyed our trip immensely and we will absolutely recommend this to our family and friends. Thank you

Did the castle and thousand Island flight. This is a must do experience lasted a full 20 minutes and the views were spectacular. The pilot/tour guide was outstanding and told very interesting facts about the area and islands.

Amazing experience! We did the Helis and Hops tour and it was such a great day. Everything ran smoothly and our pilot Brianna was so knowledgeable and awesome! We got dropped off at ARBRU Solar Brewery (shout out to them as well for great beer and woodfired pizza) and felt like royalty with the grand entrance we made in our helicopter. Got to sit and enjoy our brews and pizza and then got picked up. A fellow patron asked, "Oh I wonder what they're here for" when the helicopter came to pick us up, and we got to respond, "that's our ride!". Such a cool day and worth every penny. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the staff at both locations, we didn't feel like brought enough and wish we had. 10/10 recommend this tour!

The whole experience was wonderful! As soon as you arrive, you are made welcome by the whole team. Our very experienced pilot, Bill was very reassuring (my first helicopter flight) and explained everything. Such a nice person! We flew over the 1000 islands which were amazing! I could have stayed up there all day! Simply fantastic would recommend without the blink of an eye 👌😍

Our flight over the 1000 Islands to a cider tasting was the best date ever!! It was my wife's birthday and I was wanting something special. We were made to feel like royalty at every step of the way. Every effort was made to make us feel comfortable and spoiled. Bill, our pilot, was an exceptional guide. Andre at BUSL Cider gave us a fabulous tasting and lunch. 1000 Thousand Helicopter Tours couldn't have provided a better experience. Thank you, Kathy, for coordinating this perfect date.

My husband and I booked a helicopter tour here as a way to see the 1000 islands. Neither of us have been on a helicopter before and were somewhat nervous. The staff were truly fantastic and professional and explained every detail of what happens and what to expect.
Our pilot, was very knowledgeable about the area and was very pleasant. We booked a 20 minute tour and wished that we could have stayed up longer - well just an excuse to come back again! Can’t wait to try this again!
Also they have a very good cleaning and sanitation process in light of COVID-19.

Excellent experience. The day was perfect for a flight. We flew along the St. Lawrence River over the 1000 Islands Bridge, Boldt and Singer Castles then over the BUSL Cider where we were greeted by the owner. Great tastings and a lovely light lunch. On the way back to Gananoque over some lovely farm land and small towns. Bill, the pilot really made the experience great. He shared with us the company's mission statement which in a few words is to provide a safe experience on the ground and in the air while also providing the highest quality of service. Bill certainly lived up to the company's mission. I would highly recommend this opportunity to experience the 1000 Islands.

The whole social part was a great part of the experience. Our pilot was amazing and informative. It was a special date for my woman and I! It was an amazing day in Gananoque! It was a beautiful way to break up the day and have a different view point of the area. Pick the house you like, lol

Bill was our pilot for a charter flight for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was nothing short of outstanding! He came to their farm nearby to pick them up and return them back to a party filled with all of their friends. Several people were impressed by the smooth landing. Such a great memory for my parents to see their community from the air. Bill was so nice to work with and went out of his way to make it a memorable experience.

Wow..just wow! We tried only a 10-minute flight, but it was so worth it for our first time experience. Friendly and professional staff. A unique experience that probably everyone should try at least once. We'll try to come back for a longer flight next time :).
