Great experience. Pilot was very good and gave a running commentary. Ground staff were very helpful moving our flight to a time later in the day when we could definitely be able to land on the snow

Everyone from the driver, check-in staff and pilot was extremely friendly & accommodating. This was my first time flying in a helicopter and I was so high on life after. I believe this is what we call blissful equanimity - such a meditative but also elating feeling. I appreciated the pilot's commentary as well. Kind of regret that I didn't dare to go straight for the heli hike, but hey - something for next time!

Unfortunately our tour was cancelled due to bad weather. Headout acted promptly and provided a full refund within 36 hours. This was such a relief and I would thoroughly recommend Headout for their support and professionalism.
