Fun family attraction
Review of: Boldt Castle and Thousand Islands Helicopter Tour
Fantastic tour! Our pilot was Martine who is bilingual and very knowledgeable. She was very charismatic and made my apprehensive 10 year old feel comfortable with her jokes.

Fun Birthday Flight
I gifted the 10 minute flight to my boyfriend for his birthday this year and we loved it. The weather worked in our favor and the views were really cool. Great customer service and our pilot (I believe his name was Bill) was lovely and knowledgeable. :)
