Amazing experience

ingakeserauskaite, Apr 2024

Amazing experience! I was actually a bit scared but once we were in the air... WOW! We wanted to be seated in the front, we asked and had to pay a bit extra but was well worth it! I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing trip and great...

Jonathan_M, Feb 2024

Amazing trip and great views! Well worth it! Check in was easy and didn’t feel like we had to wait that long!

Highly recommended

Zoe_B, Dec 2023

WOW what a way to see Dubai. Would highly recommend this experience. We ended up in our own helicopter just the 4 of us, my son and myself got sat in the front which I wasn’t expecting. My son had a 16th birthday experience he will never forgot.

Don’t waste your time or your money

Joseph_M, Nov 2023

The pilot made absolutely no effort whatsoever to give any commentary as to what exactly we were flying over and made the entire experience feel very impersonal. For this sort of price, (significantly more than other countries) I would have expected a little more effort on her part. I also do not see why we were forced to come 50 minutes before take off and then stand around in an extremely busy and noisy waiting room simply to receive a 5 minute briefing shortly before the flight. Completely unnecessary. I would not recommend this experience.

Excellent helicopter tour

Ha_P, Nov 2023

Great helicopter, great service and excellent tour. We could see the JUMEIRAH PALM BEACH real nice from the sky.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Wonderful tour

Jimmy_M, Jun 2023

The views from above were breathtaking and the pilot was very knowledgeable. The helicopter was comfortable and the ride was smooth. I loved being able to see the Dubai landmarks and attractions (both old and new Dubai) from a different perspective. The tour was well-organized and the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure. The 25 minute tour is worth the cost.

Great experience for the whole family!

Scott_B, Apr 2023

Great experience for the family, despite the original booking having been canceled due to low visibility. The company re-arranged a flight for the next day and the whole family loved the experience! Pilot was great, she was very knowledgeable and pointed out all the main landmarks through the flight. Ground staff were very experienced, and the whole process from pick up from the hotel, through to take off, flight and landing was all very good.

More than expected…

NARAYANANV_P, Mar 2023

Awesome experience, they made the experience really special, it was spectacular not just the helicopter ride but the experience from booking the tickets to boarding near Atlantis Palm. Thank you!

Good

Raymond_B, Feb 2023

All good we were a little but it was no problem, all was good,. Just wished we could have had longer in the air

Memorable experience

Vijayprakash_S, Jan 2023

Amazing experience- tour is very well organized making the experience extremely memorable. We would highly recommend it — ride it is just 12 mins. It should be Mimimim 20 min

Not bad but could be better

Pavel_C, Jan 2023

Good experience, it is really required to come in advance. 15 minutes is not very long, but covers most of Dubai tourist places. On the negative side: - there was a photo shooting session before and after the tour, but only the "before tour" photos were included on the USB flash drive that we acquired - I would really love to receive a little bit more info about the location during the flught

Achieving new heights in Dubai

William_P, Sep 2022

The best way to see Dubai. The scenes are amazing. The helicopter pilot is a wealth of information explains the buildings and development going on. So,urge on the 25 minute tour. You will not be disappointed.

Dubai experience

Brian_C, Aug 2022

Was a good experience from taking off at the side of the jumerah palm Hotel out to the 300 islands then returning to the burj khalifa and burj al arab

Pathetic and unsafe experience!

vedant_m, Mar 2022

Terrible experience, they forgot to strap us with life saving jackets and our pilot didn't do flight narration so we were left to ourselves to figure out all attractions ourselves.😔😠 We were left clueless. He also didn't flew at higher altitude at palm Island area so we couldn't click proper pics of it😞 We contacted the supervisor he said he will look into it and that's it We demanded refund or a replacement flight but they refused. They offered us to give our pictures which they had clicked to give us free of charge as compensation but we didn't even receive them They said it will take an hour but im writing this review after 1 day So i would suggest please refrain from taking this helicopter ride Total waste of money 😭😞😠

Jemma_C, Mar 2022

I was disappointed with this trip, I payed for the helicopter but got a small type plain with tiny windows so the view was poor

Super experience.

This was an amazing experience. Definitely worth it. Ran on time and everything was very professional.

The Best Thing We Did in Dubai

Peter_K, Dec 2021

We had the time of our lives in Dubai and this helicopter tour was the crown jewel of our trip. The city is amazing and some of it – like the Palm Island – you only really see from the air. The trip was great, the pilot was very professional and made sure that all passengers saw everything, regardless of where they were sitting. They also took many of photos before and after the flight, so we were able to buy some pictures that we couldn't have made ourselves (e.g. during take-off).
